But what is far worse for your entire line of questioning is that even if I HAD NOT given you those answers (such that now you are without any excuse at all) you STILL were at a dead stop because "I dishonor my parents and that is ok - since I know a john williams that covets some days" is NOT a Bible position on anything!
It is only your recent efforts to try and come up with an actual Bible case (from Eph 2:14-15 for example) that represents an actual Bible position (though I think a careful study of the text that I provide here - shows your position to be in error - AT LEAST it is a Bible position rather than simply toying around while making stuff up).
I don't understand, Bob.
How is asking how you keep Deut 22 a no Bible position?
hint: Since I am not "your pope" - what I do or don't do has nothing at all to do with whether you can toss Lev 19:18 out the window, or toss Lev 11 out the window - or even toss Deu 22 out the window.
That is the easy part.
Hence the Deut 22 argument is really another form of - "
I dishonor my parents and that is ok - since I know a john williams that covets some days"
Which of course is a non-Bible position. (Might work though if John Williams was our pope)
So why are Baptists resorting to a dark-ages almost-RC style argument?
It makes no sense.
Targus said:
Are your beliefs merely theoretical?
Or do you conduct your life accordingly?
Mine are real. There are 66 books in my Bible. And as I said - that includes Deut 22.
But is it your argument that you have been asked to "judge me" in order to see if YOU are supposed to honor God's Word??
What day to day steps do you take to ensure that you are not transgressing Deut 22?
Hint - the clothes I wear come with tags from the manufacturer stating that they contain 100% wool - or not.
But as I said above - that is simply a "rabbit trail" for your non-Bible approach - since I am not your pope -- and therefore you have no "excuse" in any part of God's Word based on my efforts or failure to comply 100% with something God said.
Your resort to the papal option is confusing - given that you are Baptist.
in Christ,
Bob
