There may be lots of woman in Mary but there is no Mary in this “woman” of Gen. 3:15.

“How’s that?”

I’ll be gentle with you and say nothing.

I win the typo prize: Gog reconciles us with God?

Why do we have to play games?

The error, or what certainly SEEMS to be an error in Gen 3:15 does not shake my theology of Mary in the LEAST. AND it is a gratuitous, almost irrelevant insertion into a conversation about a kind of relationship between Church doctrine and the Bible.

Its repetition leads me to doubt whether you understood my point about Newton and whether you intend to have a conversation or some sophomoric debate.

I attempted to answer you with candor and without contentiousness. For my pains I get a promise which in its making takes away what it promises and a pseudo aphorism which isn't germane.

What a fear you all must have for your teaching if it must be defended with so much venom -- and so little understanding! How little confidence you must have in the Truth if it must be protected with poisonous darts and heaps of abuse!

I know there are Catholics who are needlessly violent in their discourse. Are there any non-Catholics with the requisite gentleness? How many Protestants are their who trust God enough to come forward in earnestness and candor in an effort to reach some kind of understanding? Are there any?
