If you're not God, why do you think you have any authority to answer the questions put forth? Why should anyone have any inclination to listen to you?Why? because that is our charge as Christians. We are to tell people the Good news of salvation and of God. Naturally people will want to know who He is and how He thinks. As such He has revealed his nature to us in scripture. therefore if one knows the revealed nature of God then He can approximate a response based on the formula he has left behind through out the bible.
BTW- I haven't put forth any questions or "charges" in this thread, so I have no idea why you think I'm having any trouble with you. I think you're vile, yes, but intellectually, you're no match for most here. So who are the "you all" you speak of?
That speaks tot he authority and why, that you asked.
The 'you all' refers to those who drop their original line of question to regroup and approach with Ad Hoc attacks rather than respond to the line of questioning they started with.
You yourself can pretend that you are my intellectual superior all you like, but you can not deny that more than one has left his original line of questioning to directly confront me with a personal insult or charge rather than stay on topic.



Believe me: I'm not pretending.
