Debau, Why is it considered contentious taking a position and defending it? I could easily say you sound angry. I really don't know if you are or not. I continue this for the same reasons anyone else in this thread does. I believe I'm right and others believe they are right.

If a person comes to a conclusion honestly with Scriptural support and not just repeating something they were taught, I can respect them for it. I don't think I misrepresent Scripture. I just understand it differently than you do.
