in other words only Christians are good in your opinion, which is what badlander and I said you were saying.

you seem to think because you are a christian you are better then the nonbeliever. Your not, every single soul born into this life has worth and not just the Christian.

Or that it’s not allegory, parable, illustrative

The Bible was written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).

Define "good", as you see me saying it. I think we have different definitions.

The fact that you say this proves that you completely misunderstood what I've actually said. Maybe it's innocent...maybe it's on purpose. I don't know. But nowhere have I ever stated that I'm better than anyone else.

This is what's frustrating. I can explicitly state something, then the likes of you come along and completely misrepresent me. I've always thought that to be a rules violation to misrepresent people.

Yet, you misrepresent others, constantly, and I would wager that it's on purpose.

Those who ignore or deny the presence of human error, misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and the assignment of human beliefs and failings to God in scripture recorded by those who received the inspirations.

Likewise. You believe you experienced a consciousness and you want us to believe you, denying the presence of human error, misinterpretation, and the assignment of human beliefs and failings.

I'm sorry. I have no reason to believe you over any of the Biblical authors.
