He was attempting, in a way much more polite than I was thinking, to tell you you might not be as correct as you think you are. That you are still suckling milk, when many of us here have long ago cut teeth and began chewing on the meat of the Word.
You view is not the only view. What's more, I doubt it is anywhere close to correct. And that is by using the Bible, all 66 books of it, to use as a guide. That is by appreciating the intent behind the words; the symbology where symbology is called for, metaphor, allegory, paraphrase and parable. That is looking at the Hebrew and Greek texts, and how very pregnant some passages are with mutiple meanings and multiple levels of meaning. Something it is quite evident is beyond your comprehension...does that mean you are created to be damned? By your own judgement will you be judged.
I have addressed the issue of proselytizing with you directly already once. If you cannot find it in your heart while you participate here to look beyond your prejudices and accept that others might understand a bit differently than you...that you are not appointed judge, jury or executioner...and that you might not actually
know even a fraction of what you think you do...then I have little choice but to lock this thread.
