Of course, in your book, Origen wasn't even saved!!

Oh my land....Are you saying that you didn't even know that Origen was the originator of the "Allegorical Method"? And, it's not "my book"...it's God's Book! Sorry Jeffrey...try again!

And, of course, silly rabbit, no one is saying to not accept the phrase you have produced on this thread 1,000,000,000,000,000 times. We are asking you to decide the meaning of what is being in said... in context! That's it. Not a lot to that. So as much as you get red-faced screaming "NOT WITH... can't you idiots read!" it's going to do no good. Red Herron. Straw man. You pick the "logical fallacy" that applies.... rightly handling the Word of truth. Not using a person's letter as a legal code to take a phrase and declare it's meaning "literal" without identifying the "literal context" of what is being said.

So, I shouldn't interpret Paul's instructions to Timothy, which were inspired by the Holy Spirit, as "literal"???? Does this go for the passage that says that "God was manifest in the flesh...."? Is this also non-literal? Jeffrey, you're a hoot!

And just because someone quotes a verse many times, does this invalidate the force of the passage? You fella's just refuse to get it huh....'round & 'round she goes!
