Could be. But aren't you an educator?

Tell me why. It was not intended as such.

More likely, however, would be a third possiblilty.

Perhaps yo do not fully appeciate the implications of what you write?

I'll admit that what I wrote was not phrased politely, but I believe it to
be accurate.

Tell me where I'e gone wrong. Can any facts contravene the truths
expressed in the Bible?

In spiritual matters, must one check facts outside of what is expressed in
the bible? Does one not instead faithfully believe the Bible, and accept
it as authority?

Y'know, I was really starting to think that maybe you DID hae a defensible
position, in some respects, despite your failure or refusal to answer
challenging questions.
