But Robby, neither is yours! It doesn't take a whole lot of smarts to realize that God should be, must be, and is consistent with Himself. Otherwise, His Word is meaningless! Wouldn't you agree that it must be so? The exact words of our major premise may not be stated in just so many words in the Bible, but the principle is in there. It's funny that you should appeal to the Bible, even in a negative way, to try to establish your premise. Seems that you'll appeal to the Bible when you think it proves your point, and to Church Tradition when it is at variance with scripture. That's not very consistent, except that you do that every time you're challenged..
