    Wrong: You post so much gibberish that it is really difficult to keep up with... putting that in context to the fact that you seldom if ever make a direct link to a post that you reference, you only present a guessing game. BTW: Lay off that bottle of "preumption-ade"... yet it is that obvious... you presuming that you know what I 'know very well'.

    Hey Bravo: You finally brought a link to a quote. Miracles never cease. Now, as we look back at that linked posting, it is readily noticeable that I was speaking in reference to the comments made by bfsmith... NOT in response to anything you had stated.

    I certainly don't have an answer which will satisfy the devilishly inclined. Why I should feel any sense of inadequacy on that account I have no idea.

    Nice dodge. Pathetic.
    In that post you reference me and my arguments and address the OP which of course is mine as well. If you spent half as much time thinking about the topics at hand as you do trying to avoid your own words, and making truly ridiculous posts, then you just might get somewhere and start to inch back to a cintilla of credibility.

    Don't get me wrong. Almost no one expects that to happen.

    The Bible says even worse things than what Cupid Dave did.

    Such as? But the point is that we (those who consider themselves Christians) cannot simply make stuff up and reject what is revealed in scripture and then say they live what God's word. Jesus said that many would serve Him in vain because they teach and believe things that did not come from God and the Bible IS God's word and Jesus said God's word is truth.

    That's simply a statement of faith, not evidence of anything. We know you believe, and that's great. We know you think the bible is the revealed word of God, but we just can't share your blind faith.

    Faith in God's word is the evidence.......to believe in anything that contradicts the Bible IS blind faith.

    You have had no case. What court of law are you allegedly practicing in?

    Blind faith is believing in something w/o substance.

    Scripture says that "faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen"

    And that "faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God"

    And so faith when reading or hearing the scriptures that contain the inspired word of God is NOT blind!! But to those who would 'quote scripture' w/o knowing the inspiration behind it (spiritual illumination) are but dead in their understanding..

    I rest my 'keg!'

    That is one of the problems with much theological scholarship. It uses scripture as proof of its own axioms, which is self fulfilling. "The House at Pooh Corner" is consistent with itself. That proves nothing.

    You have shown that when it comes to the 'illumination' of the scriptures, your 'light bulb' is out.....and you end up in folly (as per the above post)

    There are no such scriptures, because the written word cannot contain that any more than a blueprint can contain a house. Surely you understand that.

    Surely you understand the meanings of the word "inspire"?

    2 Timothy 3:16
    "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right."

    The whole story is a report of Moses sighting Uranus, including the plagues that were unleased by such an amazing discovery of a new never before seen planet in the heavens.

    The sceintific proof of being abl to show the planet moving betweenthe brached connections of the astrologicql signs made up of star formations coul not be refute.

    Though Pharaoh woulkd harden his heart against admitting to this new God, one that had watching him, himself, a supposed god on earth.

    Pharaoh would lie, cheat, steal o mauntain his own powerful and excusive position in Egypt.

    So would you if you were Paharoh.
    Why just give up?

    deny, deny, deny...

    And so we are back to the required "whisper in the dark" from God, which leads to God picking and choosing who He will illuminate. Somewhat arbitrary if you ask me, and of course self sustaining.

    As I said, scripture used to prove itself.
