@kellyjay saidActually ThinkOfOne has been telling you that you are at fault for thinking that you do NOT pick and choose which parts you do and don't take literally, pick and choose passages to ignore and/or alter, impress your own preconceived biases and beliefs onto your "literal" interpretation, etc.
You and ThinkofOne
Even worse, you are at fault for reveling in your dishonesty / delusion.
@thinkofone saidI take the whole Bible as the Word of God, while both of you pick and choose which parts you like and dislike so you reject them.

-Removed-No, your whole argument is that you don't trust scripture, even if within the Bible
when you see a metaphor it is there for cause to impart some truth. You use this
as a reason to ignore the text. It isn't back handed, I am telling you plainly this is
all there is to you and ThinkOfOne, both of you seem to acknowledge the Word of
God is in the Bible, but you both don't acknowledge the Bible is the Word of
God as a whole. You get allies with those that don't believe it at all, so this is the
crowd you belong to, the did God really say crowd. You get honest answers from
me and others, it doesn't mean you accept them, normally they are turned into
some reason for name calling or something else.
-Removed-I don’t care if you trust me you are welcome to your opinion. It is the scripture that matters not me, you speak against scripture that is an issue that will and does matter. We can disagree all day long in the long run who cares, rejecting the Word that is very proublematic for all who do that.
