Well, transliterated from Latin it means "against the man." There is also ad hominem tu quoque which is basically "well, you did it too!!!!!"

First, let me clarify that I posted that verse to answer the question, "Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus may have created a cow?"
Second, let me clarify your question. "Then" refers to what time period? Don't want to go off on a ramble
[/B][/QUOTE]
It was a joke, sort-of. I owed you one. However it illustrates a theological problem. Assuming the god of the OT, he is and has always been invisible, yes? Then we get to the NT and suddenly have an 'image' of the invisible. That is a bit weird. An image of the invisible ought to be invisible. Really, it is a subset of the problems created by the doctrine of the trinity.

You missed the last sentence where I said that it is a subset of the problems caused by the doctrine of the trinity. Many philosophers and theologians have tussled over that one.

Well gee Doink,
If you really are a Christian, consider this. You make a better case against the religion than I ever hope to make. I vaguely remember something about witnessing.......
