So, you wish to debate a prima facie? LOL

I don't remember saying that.

Quite the learned comment

You have a high English one?

Incorrect, it is to be taken with the Holy Spirit

And just how do you do that? How do you explain all the variants with your Holy Spirit?

The problems that atheists and secular progressives have is that you cant only look at Scripture in the literal sense an not consider the spiritual sense

What is "spiritual sense?" I say it's a smoke screen. You are just making statements of faith sound like statements of fact without a shred of credible evidence. Ghosts! You can't be serious.

One requires the Holy Spirit given by grace to be able to understand

Let me guess: because the Bible says so? Circular reasoning.

Posts attemptng to break down Scripture as if by science are irrelevant to the authors

Of course they are; they show that most it is hot air without substance.

It must be read and interpreted with the same Spirity by which it is written

Then why do we have so many interpretations, all claiming to be guided by the same Spirit?

Why 'must' it be? Because the Bible says so? Where is the proof? Where is this Spirit? How do you know it is that Spirit? How do you know it's not insanity?

“What is “spiritual sense?” I say it’s a smoke screen.”

...not as educated as I thought lol.

“You are just making statements of faith sound like statements of fact”

The futility of attempting to discuss a faith based text while ignoring faith...escapes some?

“Let me guess: because the Bible says so? Circular reasoning.”

No. Circular reasoning is a fallacy that could be used in a purely analytical debate. Some are not equipped to enter into theological debate since they are not believers. Theological debate between believers...or example Lutherans and Orthodox is possible as they accept the basics....as in the existance of God and the Word of God being present in the Gospels and Scripture.

“Then why do we have so many interpretations, all claiming to be guided by the same Spirit?”

A valid debate between believers, Christian brothers and sisters.
