Well, now you’re changing subjects. I know the
Good Rev’s take on it, but I didn’t say I thought
Jesus was the
Son of God. I would have been excommunicated a long time ago, if they still did excommunicate people. Not that I really would have cared, if they did.
But since you’re changing subjects. I am surprised, that you didn’t bring up
Isaiah 45:21-22
Although, these are a few, which I am sure the
Good Rev would have responded with, if not busy with the
Gospel according to Billy. So, I will save him the trouble.

As I said much earlier, there are a lot of things, which can be said about the Bible, and
consistency is not one of them. But than, I am not one that thinks, they are
God's Words either. I don’t know about you, but I can’t see an
Omnipotent God, being sloppy in anyway.
I am really the last person, that you should even be attempting to discuss
History and
Religion,
with as little as you know of both.
Here a something that isn't a secret around here. You calling me arrogant, really isn't new or of any concern to me.
I am curious, has it even crossed your mind, why I can say how bad a translation the
King James version of the
Bible, happens to be?
After that, I need the
Gospell according to Coltrane -
