No time for lengthy replies. CP3S, I actually did respond to 2 Timothy 3:16 and many of the issues you brought up. Sadly, that was part of the proxy-erased message. I will respond again, but it took me 1/2 hour to write it, and I'm at work taking part in an internal audit, so I don't have the time to rewrite it at present.

Here, let me pause, just to ensure neither of us misinterprets the other by letting you know that if I say anything that sounds overly defensive, hyped up, or anything, that is not my intention. I also am aware that you are not trying to sound over the top either in your criticisms. Just getting that out of the way :)

But I will add that your argument has several holes of its own. That is not to say that there are at times points where one must forgo logic in favor of faith to believe in the Bible. But what you are doing is incorrectly ascribing beliefs and statements to myself and the Bible that are not actually held by it or me. I truly hope to clarify later today, or tomorrow at the latest.
