I asked for a source because so many people just repeat what they hear without checking. I will assume you did not just do a quick google search and that you have actually read and digested both Barnett’s interpretations and the ones who disagree. Am I right in that assumption?
Are you then saying that research makes truth? and more research makes something more true? Are you saying that Svendsen did no research at all in his showing how Barnett is wrong? Again, by this reasoning, you agree with Obama and all his kind in their intrepretation of constitional law because they “did some research”.
Do you believe Al Gore also because he has done research?
You obviously did not read the rebuttals from your answer. It isn’t about dropping a few thousand.
I did read the rebuttals. I was being fair in placing on this thread both pro and contra arguments.
My whole point here is that I did not take the 30,000 number out of the blue. Now, of course to debate its accuracy is something else. My belief in the exact number is of little consequence to the overall point that even a few thousand denominations would make for as many and often contradictory interpretations of Scriptural documents.
