Looks to me to be more like a bad-ass ninja dwarf than a troll! But I'm curious why you think me a troll. Isn't a troll someone who is a partisan--who thinks he is right and wants to fool others into believing as he does?

It says in essence God turn the false prophet over to deception/persuasion. (He did not interveen when the prophets vanity told him to follow a falsehood.)
"...I the LORD have deceived that prophet... ."
Quote:Are you thinking the King James version has mistranslated Ezekiel?Ah, no. Does the King James version have greek and Hebrew words in the margines? No. I am translating from the orginal texts. To which I gave you a link if you were interested in a truth beyond your failed arguement.
So are you saying the words, "I the LORD have deceived the prophet," would better be translated as, "I the LORD [have allowed] the prophet [to be] deceived"?

For what?
Well, I was threatened with being banned from carm.org after telling a forum member that I admired him for putting up with all the disrespect from other forum members. I did not notice that the one leading the attack on him was a forum moderator!
I was threatened with being banned from catholic.com after asking, "Is God a loaf of bread?"
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains (no matter how improbable) must be the truth."
