You give me a warning, and this is what you warn me about.
Legend and RiverRat,
Please don't continue an old argument here. It doesn't belong.
It is not an old arguement, it is extremely relevent to our discussion. We arenot repeating anything, just applying what we learned to this discussion.
Message 1 asks: What is the single most compelling reason or piece of evidence that leads you to conclude that the bible is or is not the "word of god".
I had answered that question, and my answer was not an absolute "is or is not". I am attempting to explain why. Legend is using the results of our previous discussion to show why it is not the word of God. I am explaining to him why his thoughts do not apply to what I am saying, because he keeps mis-interpreting what I say, then puts words in my mouth.
It is not about showing or proving that our personal reasons and evidences are valid. Please respect each individuals choice and do not put them on trial.
My last statement, I clearly state that I cannot prove anything, so obviously I am not trying to prove anything, so I don't feel I need to be warned about that.
I also do not feel like I am on trial, and I hope legend does not feel like he is on trial. I feel the conversation is going well, and staying on topic.
Ask questions, disagree, but don't hound or ridicule.
and I will also respond to people who mis-quote me, and defend how I feel, and what I say. People cannot just put words in your mouth whenever it suites the discussion. I do not see how anyone was ridiculed or hounded.
I think it is over admining again. Sorry.
