Actually, I believe that the entire topic is so far removed from the totality of Scripture that none of it can be gotten scripturally.

Many of our greatest Christian thinkers would be puzzled by your belief. Have you familiarized yourself with the writings of Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Calvin? While you may choose of your own will to disagree with them, they did do an awful lot of Bible study before they picked up their Bics.

Yes, thank you. Augustine introduced some new concepts into Christian thought that the Eastern Church still rejects. Luther and Calvin introduced so many more man-made ideas that I don't consider them reliable sources.

I'm sure many people find this topic quite interesting. However, I believe that such discussions invariably generate much heat and zero light so please allow me to withdraw at this time. Thank you.
