My geometry skills and my debating skills are both quite adequate, thanks very much. That you disagree with me is no reason to insult my intelligence. Given that you clearly don't understand my point, perhaps you should question your own.

Neither, and I am not obligated to support assertions I did not make.

Diagrams are not images seen through a telescope, and certainly are not naked-eye observations.

Some people think that unless an event or experience has a clear precedent in Scripture, it wasn’t God. That isn’t a valid criteria.

There is no biblical reason why someone who has received significant education AND who has been functioning well in a leadership position shouldn’t be added of the team of elders. If you think otherwise, then please provide the biblical passage showing the minimum age for ‘elders’.

Thanks for stepping up and sharing your side of the story. Too often these situations are shrouded in secrecy such that nobody can learn from them.

You're funny. Real funny.

Well, the OP dropped an hand grenade and left the building. No need to continue the thread.

One's life work will be lost... as though it were meaningless.

Pot, meet kettle.
