Your post is non-responsive to my post in far more ways than I care to list only to have you then misunderstand them again. For example you assume I do not believe the Trinity. You are not only wrong in this, you are irrational in making such a deduction.
Your conclusions of what Gabriel's words "full of grace" mean are a textbook case of eisegesis. (i.e. reading your meaning into the text.)
NIck, your response to me is "Full of misunderstanding". That means there is a lot of it. It doesn't mean there are no points where there is some understanding. ---Catch the parallel?---

Please, either drop this discussion or be more responsive and logical, or I'll drop the subject.
How am I non-responsive? I gave you scripture and you said scripture is ``conjecture.''
For example you assume I do not believe the Trinity. You are not only wrong in this, you are irrational in making such a deduction.
I actually assumed you believed in the Trinity, but I didn't want to offend you. How is belief in the Trinity not ``conjecture, '' as you put it. (I apologize for any offense;it was not intended)
Your conclusions of what Gabriel's words "full of grace" mean are a textbook case of eisegesis. (i.e. reading your meaning into the text.)
But you don't read your meaning into the text. You know exactly what God means, including when He gives us another meaning? NIck, your response to me is "Full of misunderstanding". That means there is a lot of it. It doesn't mean there are no points where there is some understanding. ---Catch the parallel?---
I catch the parallel, but unfortunately you are notvusing the word correctly. Full means: 1. containing as much or as many in number as is possible 2. entirely 3. the utmost extent. The sense you are using the word full above is slang. The angel Gabriel was using slang on this most solemn and important occasion? Please, either drop this discussion or be more responsive and logical, or I'll drop the subject.
I think I'm being logical and responsive, but if you have to drop it...
