I would venture a guess that most garden variety Apostolic saint would have a difficult time were they put on the spot to totally exhaust their beliefs to someone else, and further have the abilty to instantly respond to the difficult questions posed here by various folks.
I would say that most apostolic pew sitters would break out in a cold sweat if their statement of belief was challenged from an academic standpoint and not necessarily from an antagonistic perspective.
You know why I say this? I have tried it and you know what? After the cold sweat, atomic anger and indignation follows.
I guess I said all that to say, I am glad folks can hit the topics from all sides, hopefully it gives folks a stronger ability to become an apologetic for their faith.

Carpenter, I agree with the above 100%. I dont mind the challenge, I dont mind debating the scripture.
You have been around long enough to know that i dont even mind a good old fashioned knock down drag out brawl.
in fact that is why I have not reported AFFs most verbose when he has stated things like we are discussing. I guess that is my problem.
