U-2012>There are no bounds once you accept allegory.

Absolutely correct!

In fact, I'm sure that one who is prepared to dismiss sufficient portions of Scripture as allegory could deny the divinity of Christ, or even the existence of God altogether.

So what?

There is only one citation of allegory in scripture.

Augustine introduced the use of allegory to deny
the plain meaning of the Word of G-d.

Oh, so it’s the other way around: you dismiss the Holy Trinity as some kind of Augustinian plot?

Good grief.

And what do you purport that to be?

Augustine introduced the use of allegory to deny the plain meaning of the Word of G-d.

Really? Do the anti-Catholic bigots who are Calvinist know that you reject Saint Augustine?

Earlier you suggested that Constantine the Great caused all of the problems, Saint Augustine lived and taught nearly a century later. Which is it?
