That’s what you’re saying now but wasn’t what you were saying when I busted you on your false comparison.

-Removed-The real topic here is how you call yourself a Christian but basically reject the Bible.
How do you do that?
I have already stated pretty extensively why I believe what I believe 10-20 pages ago, and I will do so again later.
But the above question is a pressing one that you should desire to respond to.
-Removed-I am 100% positive that changing my name would not fool anyone. Indeed, I intend to keep the same avatar for an extended period of time to emphasize that I am not hiding. Perhaps I will even say in several threads that I am active in that "this is Jacob Verville under my new name."
I am also very positive that, even if a year or two passes, you will still occasionally call me Jacob just to remind me that you know my original name.
And that's fine. Good for you. Who's stopping you.
... And I told you: I will post about that again in the future.
