Alot of time people like to show of their sheep skin and post many fancy words and have flowery language when in actuality simplicity is best. When I look at your post, I actually have to re-adjust my eyes I can't see as well as I used to, as my eye sight as I get older, is going capoot and reading on the internet is different than reading quietly on your sofa from a book. I am only making this a suggetsion. Lets see what I can do to simplify your post if you do not mind:

1st sentence: It seems God was invoked in an effort to avoid the point at hand.

2nd sentence: Forget history lets focus on orthodox theology

3rd sentence: Joel wonders if you got your facts straight and does not believe you

4th sentence: What about this Khabiri 'thing' and why isn't it in the Bible and why don't the church Fathers witness to it?

5th sentenceid God in His conversation with you mention this Khabiri 'thing'

WOOOOOOOO God look at that wide grinned smilie I did not plan that I forgot the space...God must approve of humor guys. It was my mistake by not making a space and God made a wide smile.

Now wasn't that more simple and easy to understand? This is basically what I take away from your post Peter.
This Khabiri thing??? Wow, that was vintage. It's good to see you improved his post to those 5 sentences. Have you done any
research on the issues you hold dear...or better yet, anysubstantive research? You're making yourself look worse and worse, especially with this piss poor demeanor you're spewing because you know so little. Asking is nice. Humility is even better. It's easier to respect someone with it, then someone who gets defensive, and spirals their credibility down the drain like you're doing...

And sometimes you have to call things like you see it. I see it the same. If this is not what you intended to communicate than that is an issue that you'll have to work with in your correspondence over the net.

You honor me too much my man. Gosh did you really think this issue rests soley on this issue? What evidence we be enough for you to believe? See this is the first hurdle that has to be overcome in anything really. God is in this thing and it is a done deal. He is a God of love and forgiveness and listens to your prayers. The evidence? Well what do you want? Him to write book for you? He did. It is called the Bible and it is an amazing book.
With statements like this, you wonder why this got sent to Elsewhere? If you're going to be an effective debater here, stop assuming God for the purposes of your arguments. We don't assume he exists, so if you want to convince us of anything you'll have to manage that important step. And no, we don't accept the bible because we don't believe in circular logic.

You see God in a typographical error, and all I see is the result of a parser attempting to make sense of an non-determistic markup sytax using overloaded lexical components.

Apply this analogy to ancient history, and you can see how primitive peoples dreamed up the concept of God.....

My son goes don't smoke in my room mom. He does not own his room. I believe I do. I can smoke where i want. I am a BIG girl...all grown up
Oh I see... all grown up. I think there was a cartoon on Nickelodeon called Rugrats All Growed Up, is that something similar to your current situation?

Also, your son may not own his room but he does in fact own his lungs, what gives you the right to pollute them?

Where is the defense? I have laid myself open here to all kind of criticism and innuendo and just because a person is an amateur does not mean you can not learn something from them. It is usually those who have their intellectual noses stuck in the air who have no personality and common sense. I would rather frequent the inroads and back roads of this land than eat at the finest restaurant hob knobbing with the those who consider themselves to be the socialites and intellectuals. Hey if any one of you is a REAL person I will have an engaging discussion with you, but if you are just pretending humanity forget it.

And just to let you know anyone can resort to personal attacks but it takes a gentleman or a lady to refrain. My roots and heritage taught me this.

You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track.

I am the only one who is both competely right and completely victimized by those who don't agree with me.

Know this and I will find happiness.

Why else do I come here?

Profound. Very profound. But not nearly as interesting as discussing prophetic wet dreams.
