“Totally stand by my first post to this person.”
How sad.
God gave us our reason for us to use. If faith without works is dead, then what is faith without reason?

Reason is the pagan humanist’s favorite cry, to excape the word of Yehova.
One cannot reason their way to salvation.
No need to reason a simple message of
Repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15
I believed it as a child and it is still what I believe. And that is all someone need know regarding salvation. Thereafter, the Holy Spirit works in the life of the believer and brings them knowledge and wisdom of the Lord (sanctification).
It seems those who take pride in their intellect really know very little of God’s kingdom.
