Still on the "literally says" kick? I thought we kicked that in the butt? Remember when those other guys provided scriptures and you referred to context? Remember that? So let's be careful with the word "literal" that it doesn't really mean "stupid."
The Bible over Jeffrey? LOL You keep to the same game. "PLain and simple" "stick to the Bible" etc Yet, when it's convenient to your argument, the "plain and simple" and "sticking to the Bible" literalism gets abandoned.
Let's be real clear... there is nothing "plain and simple" about 1st Century writings to a 21st Century Westerner.
