Matthew Bell What sort of amateurish reasoning is this? I make a statement which begs the question, it is pointed out to me, I admit such and amend my post accordingly and then I am expected to defend the initial fallacious statement rather than the corrected one. You really need to do some work on your logic skills.

Matthew Bell You will need to repost the verses, as I don't recall reading any which pinpointed Scriptures. I understand your desire to end the thread but sorry, a no-go as far as I am concerned. Thanks M.Bell
