There are better verses that refute Omega and his mates being a special chosen few because they believe the bible is the truth.

I do better when asked a specific question. Is there something in particular you wanted to know?

many, yes. note that in the account of the special chosen few, God divorced them.

Pay attention. The Bible CONTAINS inspired truth, period. It is neither God's word nor absolute truth. It tells us about God's Word - Jesus the Christ - who abides with us as the Comforter sent in His name to guide us to the truth God has "written in our hearts."

do you perceive any absolute truth, such as is posited by many/most people, and if so, what is it?

When you die, do you believe you are going to either heaven or hell?

Do you believe that you should endeavor to ask people if they know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior?

pick one, or suggest another if you like. Any truth that you accept, and do not see a possible "no" for.

I lost you? Sorry, I don't understand what this has to do with what I posted, so I don't understand what your purpose is in asking these questions. I don't know where you're trying to go with this, so it's impossible to play along.

If you are asking if the bible is absolute truth, I already answered that: no. But your questions seemed to be based on the supposition that I am looking to the bible as if it is.
