I think we will learn who has the least amount of patience soon. I'll probably close it at that point and we can start again.
Remember everyone, God gave us logic and reason to make the scriptures MORE understandable, not more complex and abstruse. Unfortunately the logic text books rarely deal with winning people, only winning arguments. | Bob,
JD asked a question about logic. Therefore I don't understand why what followed should be considered an "I can logic higher than you" contest (by the way, you're " poisoning the well" by using a term that makes it seem worse than it is  ). We answered his question. Perhaps you would have preferred to see the discussion go somewhat differently, but he asked what he asked, and we answered in the way demanded by the terms of the OP. I do not see how those of us who answered "logically" are acting inappropriately, and hence think it's unfair to imply that we're just tossing knowledge around for the sake of winning the argument when we're merely speaking in the same terms JD implied that he was looking for.
