Thanks Captain Scarlet for clarifying that! Fr0d0, nothing you say ever surprises me I expected that answer or something similar to it from you. Personally I would trust a Rabbi when it comes to biblical interpretation over a Christian any day since Christians don't know shit when it comes to interpreting the bible. And considering that the bible was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic till the Christians polluted it with Greek and added elements of Roman beliefs and mythologies to it.
CP if your opinion about christians understanding of scripture were true then what atheist understand is so far less that they should just stop with there comments on scripture..... just following the logical path you know.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
