You failed to answer the question. Answering a question with a question is not an answer. It's an avoidance technique. Have you become a disciple of the aptly-named Slick?

I meant, when is the last time you chastised Trout for attacking a poster, as opposed to a post?

I left the reservation when I found freedom in Christ, and God in just about everything.

I have dozens, excuse me HUNDREDS of Scripture verses that you do not live by, do not propose anyone lives by, yet still proclaim as "god-breathed." If god breathed those verses, he is a devil.

I see the inconsistencies in Scripture, I see the evolving ideas in it that were completely different from one verse to another, and I understand that understanding scripture is unlikely read solely in the English language without Greek and Hebrew language training. So I'm very reluctant to swallow it without IN DEPTH study from scholars.

You are a fish on a hook, swallowing the worm, and unable to wriggle free. That's not faith. It's entrapment.

Read what I posted on "The Gospel Is Foolishness" thread. You are no different in your approach than those dopeheads who walk off the end of the dock with a single verse of scripture. Anything less than complete and total immersion in scholarly scripture study results in great evil being fostered on the world.

Your views are helping that along.

I didn't leave any Godly reservation. You have yet to arrive.

I'm supposed to chastise Trout? Uh, oh.....I'm usually laughing at his commentary. I can't do both so you'll have to take care of the chastising..... since I doubt his wry humor cracks you up.

Be sure and get all huffy when you tell him off. IIRC "Get All Huffy When You Chastise the Pagans" is chapter 289 of the Fundamentalist Handbook.

Is there some reason you wouldn't? You know...like a Fundie Code that y'all pinkie-sweared on?

"If a fellow fundamentalist makes a snide remark I hereby pinky swear I will ignore it. No matter how rude he is. Because Jesus is OK with snide, rude remarks if they are made by a fundamentalist and directed at a hell-bound heathen."

This is Trout's fun time(what few he has), bashing others faith while eating popcorn and watching a Blue jay's game, we just patronize him(pat him on the head) and go on with our posting.Outside of this , he is an all right fella.

But you are not required to do the same?
