No, what you are doing is what you do so well, ignoring what the reply says and just looking to start an argument. But this time, we are talking about the Beatitudes and if we are going to discus it, you must read it first, for otherwise how can we discus that in which you refuse to read?
OWK, if you are going to insist on commenting on the word of God as written by the Word of God, you need to read the word of God or stay where you are knowlegeable. For your lack of knowledge in matters of the Bible are becoming all to obvious.
I have no doubt that you are above average in intelligence, but when you get into Scripture, your lack is obvious and to be quite honest with you, it is starting to get tiring.
Your knowledge of the word of God reminds me of a quote from Congressman John E. Baldacci of Maine.
One night in the little town of Bethel, he was asked how one of his statements stood up agaisnt the US Constitution, His reply was: "I don't know anything about it and I don't care anything about it." Yet, he had sworn an oath to uphold it and even now oft times he says somthing and then attributes it to the Constitution, when more often than not his quote is closer to the communist manifesto.
OWK, don't be like Baldacci, read Matthew 5-7 and then we will discuss it.
Alas
I will stack my knowledge of the Bible against yours, any day of the week.
