So, that's a no on the 'like doves' bit?

And IIRC, it was the Lord that did the heart-hardening on the Pharoh. Maybe god just wants me to reject your interpretation of the verse?
Paul said ,who are we to ask God like that.So we need mercy from God to not harden our heart,because we cant all escape from him and nothing to do with him nor hurt him.

What am i asking God?
I'm asking you.
A story in the The Books says that pharoh was going to let Moses and Co. go. God hardened pharoh's heart to keep the Jews in Egypt until after God was finished slaughtering.

I find your prophecies less than compelling.
You claim that the prophecies are not at phault, my heart is just hardened against them.

How do you support that claim?
And, how do you know that if my heart is hardened, it was me and not God that did it?

I don't want to hurt God. NO more than i want to hurt Mayor McCheese.
As a matter of fact, i don't want to hurt you, either.
But you are making a lot of claims and your only offered support is that you can make a quote from the Books fit your understanding of the situation.

Assume for a moment that i like evidence more than litany i'm already leery of. Can you show any support for your side?

He doesn't refer to an object but to people but, even granting you the benefit of the doubt on that issue, describing it as "like a cloud" or "like doves to their windows" completely fails to correspond to anything even remotely like airplane.

The author had nothing with which to compare the metalic nature of the object?

You are wasting your time here with such pathetic arguments.
