Did I say something in the above post that you all are avoiding to discuss?

How about Jesus Christ being of the seed of Abraham and David? Where do you go with that?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to. You can take it as a rhetorical question if you like.
But think about it. And think about why I would even ask you that question.

Good point. That is probably a similar character trait amongst his peers too. Have you followed some of the links? I have. These guys are trying to be pentecostal popes. The burden of proof never shifts, because there is always another spiritual or allegorical explanation.
I read through many of these posts and really just see more questions being begged by Vaughn. I dare not ask to many though, because I have a thing with dizziness lately. I can't stand to watch people run in circles. Vaughn really need to rededicate himself to the Word of God. It is our true and final answer.
The text of Scripture does not give room for Calvinism, nor its spawn Serpent Seed Doctrine. To believe one is to essentially believe the other.

Pious? Not sure about that.
Dry sense of humor? Sometimes.

I have 12 posts on this thread so far, to your 44...I have 65 this week, to your 482..(although that's not even the point...numbers are only part of the issue.) But anyway...
I would explain further, doc, but I just get the feeling it wouldn't do any good.
But anyway, I'm not trying to pick fights or ruffle feathers.
The spirit behind my post was actually positive, not negative.
So please, unruffle your feathers... and carry on.
Peace.
