congratulations, you've won the 'only true Christian' award.
Oh I'm so confused now! I thought people who were true christians were those who believed in a literal view of the bible, Iano clearly doesn't believe in a literal reading of the text and therefore is not a true christian! However many of us atheists DO believe in (strange as it sounds) taking the christian god at his word and therefore we must be true untrue true christians!

Getting very off-topic!
Hold on hold on - this is a clear attempt to try and drag us away from the question that Iano is unable/unwilling to answer.
It's IRRELEVENT what any of us think about God lying/our individual belief in god/if the bible is true etc. We were quite clearly discussing what god said in the bible.
Let's try to get him back on topic -
What is the source IN THE BIBLE for your claim that "BRING" actually means "an absence of good" when God says I bring evil.

Re: What is entailed in contradiction?
I'll go with Isaiah as well - in the context of which is mostly likel y to represent the viewpoints of the christian god. I'm afraid in this case, I'll have to go with the original source.

Re: Getting very off-topic!
Dodge dodge dodge.
Isn't it time you tried to do this debate into one on the nature of reality.
The questions are straight forward -
Are we to take your word over God's?
Are you a literalist or not?

Think before you post CK
I do - every time I (or someone else does) repeat the question and you dodge it, it erodes your credibility a little more and enhances your reputation as a dodger. It's a pretty clear strategy isn't it?

Is this the literal word of God or not?
If it's not the literal word of god - where in the bible do you draw support for such a position?

The lord creates evil - he said it, he did it.
Who needs psychobabble? Your inability to answer a straight forward question is pure gravy.
