Maelstrom directly answered a direct question posed, by you, about that verse. Neither Ryan or Mael 'agreed with Max', since Max's comments were addressing the OP, christians and the bible in general, as he has clarified.Key words bolded. He needed to clarify because the plain reading of his post clearly indicated that he was addressing the second verse. Pretend otherwise all you want, but it doesn't change anything.
Quote:No one directly engaged Max's post under the assumption you imply. Your insistance on hammering on your preferred verse could be construed as confusion. Most posters are going to rightly discuss the OP, not some shift in focus you wedged in. Without further mention, it's reasonable to conclude posts address the thread topic.Sure - but his post made further mention. The part he quoted included only one Bible verse, the second, and it appeared directly before his own commentary, which said "...if this was a quote from the Quoran as opposed to the Bible..."
Who is pretending? I said it could have been misunderstood, and by your accounting, you did. But you are off on some tangent, attempting to show that this was widely the case. It was not. The confusion is obviously yours. I only say that you didn't help things by continuing the discussion from your end under this notion. It's not really a big deal, except if you make it out to be. Considering your tenacity, I'm guessing you have a compulsive need to think you're right...so don't let me dissuade you.
Bleh.
