A Literal Bible?
Okay guys listen up. If by chance they were able to write the Bible, so that it was completely literal and hence verifiable -- which isn't to say it isn't already, i.e., in the spiriual sense -- is this the only way you would accept it? Because if it is, I'm afraid you would have accepted nothing, except that which is obvious. In which case I would suggest there's not much point in reading it, except perhaps like a dictionary, and I honestly don't think it was intended that way. Indeed, the last thing you will have learned is anything spiritual ... and talk about destroying something in the process!
So really all you've accomplished is to confirm yourselves in your lack of faith. Big deal.
At least the Bible thumpers, as guillable as they are who, insist on a literal translation themselves -- how strange? -- have a sense of faith about it which, is more than I can say for you people here -- "trolls."
In case anyone's interested I've reposted this as a new thread, A Literal Bible? But please, don't expect me to reply to your insisting that there's something to be discussed, when in fact there isn't, Okay?
P.S. If you would like to understand what the Bible says, I recommend that you start reading it, not so much with the intent of proving it, but rather the spirit inquiry. And hey, if you don't understand something, leave it at that. Either put it down or find some other part to read. It doesn't have to be answered at that moment -- if at all. The main thing being that you don't be too hasty in drawing conclusions about it. In which case you might actually learn something.

I see you can't get away from asking these complex yes-or-no questions.

Yes, but it doesn't apply in this case.Originally posted by Iacchus
Does anyone know what the word "entrapment" means?
The more approriate term in this instance would be overextending yourself. Or digging your own grave.
And if you don't understand what I mean: You're making wild claims and telling us we're wrong without providing even a shred of evidence to support your case, and by extension, your credibility.

True, true. After all, didn't you know, science is after all "just another alternative viewpoint".*
Now with the Law there is only one firm viewpoint - that someone may owe you money! Given your obvious inaptitude in all matters legal, I suggest you seek the advice of competent counsel right away.
(I shall PM you a formal retainer letter with my hourly rates and a full disclaimer for any advice that I may give, legally binding in any and all jurisdictions.)
