So, Elder Epley, you are saying David that Giant-killing, adulterer, sheep-loving, King to call this man & others a fool for not believing. But you say, "I am NOT calling anyone personally a fool" so you are using scripture as a club to clobber "fools" with, but you aren't going to own that you ARE calling them a fool. How nice of you sir - well played.

Benincasa, you would "AMEN!" Elder Epley if he had posted, "Ackew! Pardon me for sneezing." You are a "yes man" or an "Amen man". Typical.

Glad you understand me. LOL.

I wasn't defaming or defending exactly. What I was saying that is the UC / OP stance to ALWAYS take a portion of scripture and attempt to condemn and perhaps convict with the statements, but then say, "Well I am not saying...but so-and-so said..." It's bogus. I believe the Bible is valid, but also believe the Old Testament MUST be viewed through the looking glass of the New Testament. OT is no longer valid unless it's for historical teaching of the creation, early times of war, reign, trying to figure it out all on our own, etc. But the NT is for us today to as the Audioslave song says, "Show Me How To Live."

It's ALL about love. I'd say your response may be, "It's about TRUTH!!!!!" Which is right. God is love. God is also truth. So, yes it is about "TRUTH" but it is not about what is perceived as truth but what is truth, God / love!

Now here I am thinking that all I have to do is go and deliver the foreskins of a hundred Phillistines and then I too would be given a wife!

Then it is a good thing you read my post so you don't have to continue to touch the foreskins of others to just obtain a wife.
