Deal for Daystar.

You really think that I am trying to convert you? After I have said I haven't?

The objective of a true Christian is similar to that of Noah, not to convert but to present. Did you know that Noah didn't shut the door of the ark, God did. Or of Paul, just to plant the seed, and if the seed grows that is up to you and God. I do want to educate you but I am not so niave to think that that is likely. I have dealt with enough Xians and Atheists to know that is a vain pursuit.

I am here to discuss.

Not to teach the truth of it? I am certainly not here to teach anything but the truth of it. I don't need to prove it - that is nonsense.

The deal is this: I'd be very interested in learning more about the bible and how you interpret it. So long as you don't CLAIM that it is truth of the supernatural (meaning something that hasn't evolved or developed from natural laws). If you do claim this, you can still teach it your way but I should have every right to correct you and you should accept my correction when I remind you that you are not supposed to teach scripture as truth of the supernatural.
Deal?

That doesn't make any sense to me. What have we been doing all along? You know that I believe - that I CLAIM that the Bible is 'truth of the supernatural.' Are you like Windows Vista or something? Science has to 'prove' to you what I claim before you will acknowledge it?

If you are propositioning me to help you more accurately understand what the Bible teaches it is up to you not to accept the supernatural. Can I teach you in that way? I don't see why not.

You have a deal. (though not a point)

However, if by your proposition you mean that I can't mention God because he is supernatural you have no deal. The Bible deals with the supernatural.

If you want to express the reasons and logic and outside sources etc against, that is what I have been trying to get you to do all along.
