And you are how old?
And your upbringing?
And you studied the bible where?
What does this have to do with mikehagar coming to a conclusion after applying the same logic that you YOURSELF used? I do not see where age matters. Obviously he (mike) has made many posts on this forum, and as far as I know age has never been a concern. What does his upbringing have to do with it? This has the looks of some kind of pre-emptive ad hominem. As far as his biblical background, that seems like an argument from authority is about to be introduced. This line of questioning to me seems rather disingenuous.
But then again, this would not be the first time that I misinterpreted ones intentions.
