Wales is indeed God's Own Country, with Yorkshire a close second for that title. - Matt (descendant of Rhodri Mawr 5 times over)

If that's what you mean then I would support that...but I would not seek to stigmatise those who don't fit into that cosy definition - particularly if they are not in the Church. Even in the Church we need to be sensitive: for example, to get personal, I am a divorced and remarried man; your...

500 years ago there weren't Baptists in England. Now there are. Does that mean the Baptists have "departed from the traditions of the faith"? 200 years ago there weren't Dispensationalists in England worth mentioning. Now there are many. Have they likewise "departed from the traditions of the...

To which 'nation' do you refer? My citizenship is in Heaven (and no heathen will ever take that from me!) - where is yours?

No it doesn't mean that. My point was that unregenerate members of society cannot be expected to behave in a Godly manner; the only such society that can so behave is the Church. To believe that society can be legislated into Godliness is to put the cart before the horse: it has been tried many...

So doctrine doesn't matter to you? Why then are you picking me up on mine?

Because it constructs a false image of God that is diametrically opposed to how God is revealed and described elsewhere in Scripture

Advise me which one, and why they're better than the others.

Apart from the fact that a literal interpretation produces a blasphemous result? Any other reason you're after?

Will you answer my question first.

In your opinion. Who appointed you the sole correct interpreter of Scripture?

Which Protestants? Which beliefs? The Calvinists? Or the Arminians? The pedo-baptists? Or the credo-baptists? The dispensationalists? Or the Covenanters? Lutheran LCMS? Or Lutheran LMS?

No. I reject your literal interpretation of it just as you reject the allegorical interpretation. Neither of us 'reject Scripture'.

Right, OK, thank you , now we are getting somewhere. I don't reject Scripture, I merely reject your interpretation of it. Do you see the difference?

You still haven't explained how I am supposed to have departed, or, indeed, what this 'tradition of the faith' is to which you refer - whose tradition? The Catholics'? The Baptists (who weren't even around 500 years ago!)? Yours? All you've done is make bold but utterly bare assertions with no...

So now you're resulting to insults, which is the last refuge of one whose argument is intellectually bankrupt. Keep digging that hole...

Most Christians in England 500 years ago believed the world was flat and the Earth was the centre of the solar system. Your point?

So no argument at all then. Thanks for clarifying.

In what way?

Thanks for confirming you have no argument and are running away
