If you saw the words 'most likely,' why have you chosen to ignore them?

I'll take it that you understand the flaws in what you wrote, but based on prior discussions I've had with you, I suspect that it may not have dawned on you until after you read my response to you.
Originally posted by moonbusThe Old Testament and the New Testament have been combined in the Holy Bible. But Jesus did say he was going to build His Church, not a Jewish synagogue.
The writers of the NT, whoever they were, were at very great pains to interpret the OT -- which is to say, the Jewish scripture -- as pointing to the coming of a Messiah in the person of Jesus.

Hey ThinkOfOne, you might want to take a look at "ego defense mechanisms" when you get the chance - I think it will really help you.
Hope this helps 🙂
If you think that it applies here, by all means explain exactly how. I was trying to give the kid the benefit of the doubt.

That said, I fear your development could be held back if I prevent you from conducting your own reading on this matter first. When you honestly think you're ready, let me know and I'll get you started.
I'm rooting for you ThinkOfOne; make me proud! 🙂
