Nor do I think you are dumb. That's why I am trying to force you into intelligent discussion. Because I know you are not dumb, I know you are aware that if there is one indisputable fact about Christianity, that no AA will ever be able to prove wrong....... is that a piece of scripture can mean very different things to a lot of different Christians.
So it WOULD be dumb of me to just guess what I think it might mean to you. If I guess wrong, then I get the point you are making wrong, then I will respond wrong... then the whole conversation goes down the toilet.
I learn nothing. You learn nothing. I get the wrong impression of what you think. You get the wrong impression of what I think. That pollutes any future conversations......... and the snowball just keeps getting bigger.
I honestly didn't know what your point was because I didn't know what that scripture meant to you, I don't even know for sure what it means to me.
And all it took to avoid all that was this -
Point taken and accepted. Thanks.
