If you are responding to a HASA type (myself included), the majority of us will not admit the Bible as valid evidence anymore than we admit Homer as valid evidence. If you are responding to a fellow Xian, remember, he reads the same Bible as you do, and draws his own interpretations therefrom. If his own interpretations tend a little more to the liberal side than yours...fine...it's his own religion... >Stuart D.
