I do see how that work's. Now I'll show you whether or not my question is that type of question.
You're question is: "Are you still beating your wife? Yes, or no?"
Its a yes/no question, like my question. Check!
You're question
imply's something like the following though:
So we all know that you were beating you're wife; are you still doing that? or have you stopped?
So its clear, that answering either Yes or No, agree's with the premise --essentially in saying No, your saying something like, "Yes, I was beating her, but No I'm not anymore. I've stopped beating her. I don't do that anymore."
So because you can't answer the question either Yes or No without agreeing to the implied message, the question is a trap. We all see that.
So is my question a trap? Here it is:
What does my question imply, if it does not mean what it say's (like you're question about wife-beating)? I'll take the 1st shot at it:
Is Matthew 5:37 KJV written to the Church? Yes or no.
I am a deceiver; I admit it. I intentionally deceive people sometime's, and sometime's I inadvertently do. I am a deceiver.
False dichotomy!
God's Truth is somewhere along the man-to-woman spectrum or continuum. G.T. has never positively identified as either man or woman. We all know --including G.T. --that if G.T. is a woman that they are disobeying Pauls counsel that we not allow women to teach men the faith. We
all know that, so its not some secret thats going to pop out sometime in the future. Its known. Its a known known. What none of us know except for G.T. is where along the man-to-woman spectrum G.T. is. So if your position against G.T. is in anyway dependent upon G.T. being a woman, and it turn's out that G.T. is not a woman, you've lost the argument/"argument," in reality.
Your treading on thin ice.
Maybe.
Just remember that
I admit to being a deceiver.
