Hmm...
Well, cjb, I proved my argument & no arguments to counter?
The Bible you take literally refers to God as both He & She. I'm not trying to be rude, but by accepting a literal interpretation its difficult not to avoid the contradictions. Its a sacred text that combines selected texts (yes, there are many others too), and must be taken in its proper historical, cultural, and spiritual value & meaning.
As with Legion, I truly feel sorry for you. Based on your postings, it suggests someone who is insecure & attacking what he/she does not understand. Having been brought up in a fundamentalist enviornment, I have seen that those who take the teachings to the extreme and most literal tend to have less faith (not more) than that other mainline & other forms of Christian belief. By depending on proving a point that accepts myth/allergory/metaphor/social teachings as completely literal can result in a faith like that of standing on quicksand...eventually the person sinks unless they find a way to get out.
I will praying for you:
Find peace & love in Christ,
Sol
