Let us say that a father and mother are believers of all the Word, from Genesis to Revelation, and they have a child, and they teach the scripture to their child. If the child was very young, and the parents showed these passages to the child, the child would believe them even though the young child would probably not see the apparent surface contradiction in the passages. However when the child began to grow in knowledge and understanding, one day the child might come back to these passages and begin to wonder why one set of statements seems to contradict the other set of statements, and the child would likely begin searching for the reasons why, (if indeed, let's say, the teenager, still believed that all of them were true). However the one who sweeps these passages under the rug, and ignores them, most likely sees the apparent surface contradiction and simply does not want to deal with it. Such a one is no more a child with child-like faith because the conscience is defiled: the child or teenager no longer cares enough to find out why the two sets of passages have seemingly contradictory statements. Therefore what you have said in your judgment of my faith, as "not being child-like", is actually only true of yourself: for I know why they do not contradict, and I believe all of those statements without leaving any portion of them "undone" in my doctrine, (which is not my own). As for GT, I distinctly remember you moaning, whining, and bewailing about others comparing you to her: and yet here you are doing the same to me. It is the Pharisees who are the hypocrites: for they say, and do not do, or they say do not do, and yet they themselves do what they say not to do.

The Bible is a long book, and you have no appetite for it, either. :think:
Exactly, and what she actually has been eating is beginning to come forth.

It's like a salad bar....pick and choose what looks good and then move right along.

I am glad you are enjoying my faith.
Faith? We were discussing your eating habits. Your picky scripture intake.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Meshak sees discussing the Bible as a social club. Why am I not surprised?
Well, that too, but I was referring to what is coming back up, (Matthew 15:18-19).
I am glad you are enjoying my faith.
I don't think I am. It is big time insult to call a unitarian, a Jehovah's Witness. JWs have divisive behavior, don't understand the sabbath, nor the all important Greek they would need to defend their beliefs.
Other unitarians shouldn't be so dismissive as to say JWs don't need help.
Welcome to the light.

Now EE is gone, it seems I am taking his place.
That's ok, you need to let your pent up emotion has to go somewhere.
I am glad I can help you doing just that
You are showing yourself a hypocrite once again; for after nearly a full page of attacks on my character you now want to play the role of the persecuted.

Seems playing the victim is in vogue these days.
