Sounds like me, but I don't remember saying it...check with Timmy or Brad Murphy.
Seriously though, that is a very good example on why I have many issues with the Bible, that seem almost impossible to reconcile. To be honest, of late I have just decided to "let it go" so to speak. If God wants me to understand the things that confuse me, and to know with confidence the things that I doubt, then he will show me in His own time. In the meantime, I am content to just abide...
