And in none of those posts you are in error? You see but through a glass perfectly? If you believe so, and tie your perception of right belief to the politics of a nation, aren’t you as dangerous as an extremist imam?

Funny, the Apostle Paul, in Athens and elsewhere, came into debate.

Oh well, pity.

As I have pointed out to you in times past, Paul did not debate with the men there on Mars Hill. He merely provided for them, the identity and the character of the 'unknown god' to Whom they already gave worship and reverence.

I guess I must have missed the part where I said I was perfect. Here is the gist of our contentions on the truths contained in Scripture. While I am not perfect, I believe the Word of God, is perfect. I believe as the Scriptures say, the natural man cannot understand the Scriptures because they are spiritually discerned. And I believe therefore, that the ministry of the Holy Spirit functions to illuminate the hearts of saved men only, with the truth of God.
John 14:6 (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

From your posts I gather that you believe, owing to the fact that the writers of the Bible were men, that much of the Bible is errant and therefore falls in one or more of the following categories; off-base allegory, some form of misinterpretation, or is otherwise flawed down cultural, historical or ethnic lines.

We can never hope to come to any consensus between us.
