Why is it you guys don't seem to be able to answer with anything substantive when you figure out we don't subscribe to your favorite presuppositions?

One would think the natural response would be to step back and find common ground to proceed from, rather than offer worthless expressions of incredulity.

Wouldn't that be the proper demonstration of being ready in season and out as Paul did at the Areopagas?

If one proposes that one's church trumps the very words of YHWH, all that can be left is incredulity.... One cannot step back from that and find common ground, because if you truly believe that, then there is no common ground.

The Bible is, at it's heart, a series of contracts (covenants) between YHWH and Man. Do you REALLY want to claim that any edifice of man has authority over that? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is on it's face?

It DOES explain how one might suppose to change it at a whim, but you will never convince me of any authority whatsoever to do so.
