So you very belatedly admit my initial post was credible, even though you jumped in the thread to complain about it -- and are now reduced to making nebulous claims that I lied elsewhere in the thread.
You are a joke.
The only blatant liar here is you - you made a bet pledging to permanently leave the forum if Trump were impeached, and then you willfully and blatantly welched on that pledge.

Yes, hardly anyone was literate in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, so you did not have knuckleheads pulling single quotes out of the Bible in an attempt to make a theological point.
Only scholars and theologians were literate.
The early Church fathers, aka Origen of Alexandria, Augustine of Hippo interpreted the bible metaphorically. They understood Genesis was clearly allegorical.
That became part of the Catholic tradition - their doctrine was based on ecclestatical authority, tradition, metaphorical interpretations of the bible.
Martin Luther's Protestantism elevated scripture to the only primary authority, and the Protestant tradition carried forth the doctrine of scriptural primacy, biblical literalism, biblical inerrancy. That is precisely what distinguished them from the Catholic and Eastern tradition. And my take is that is why American bible thumpers evolved into such biblical literalists.
Now that is what I learned in broad outline from religious scholars, and there is lot of detail, context, and texture as you noted.

That's not what Cypress wrote, but it befits a minion of Satan to falsely claim he did.
Obviously no one can be perfect, but you, Matt/Wolverine and others don't even try to avoid sin. Worse, you intentionally sin believing all you have to do is ask forgiveness so you can sin even more. God is certainly smart enough to see through such a cheap ploy.

I agree, there is a lot of variation in world Protestantism. At best, we can only articulate general distinctions between Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy.
I went to Quaker meetings for a while, and while I believe they are technically Protestant, they seem to have virtually nothing in common with the fundamentalist rightwing evangelicals.

????.....in what dictionary does "ignorance" equal "credible".........you better stick to harassing women.....you haven't got the skills to engage in arguments....
as for my bet, even Nancy said it wasn't a real impeachment........she said a real impeachment would have to be bipartisan....

Woe to me! I cried. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.
Only an amoral phony Christian has to stoop to lying and slandering me.

"Are you repeating gossip? It’s just as I thought, because through my investigation, I have questioned women still posting here and those no longer posting and I can’t find one woman who claims they were harassed (by Cypress)."

That quote isn't from me. It is from a female mod who has spoken to current and past females and not one single female poster ever has ever heard of me harassing or stalking and females. Grind is a resentful INCEL who was repeating gossip and guesswork.
For a dude you losers have claimed is a dangerous sexual predator and sexual harasser, it is extraordinarily odd that my so called victims did not warn any other females on the board.
