I wasn't intentionally using a strawman argument in this case, though I might occasionally employ one to illustrate the folly of another person's position. Since Mr. Boll does not respond for days at a time, I may have lost the gist of the conversation in there somewhere. If so, my bad.

Methinks this question should be settled with a fork and a side of coffee.

The word is "alluding", and the OP is wrong.

Where does the text say (or even imply) that Eve could not have children while in the garden of Eden? How do you get "God curses her with the 'pain of childbirth'"? Where does the text say that God "cursed" Eve at all? Read the text carefully. That's possible, but there is nothing in the text...

You quoted yourself, and accused yourself of hijacking the thread you started. That's good for a chuckle....

So please explain your comment, "Talk about strawman...".

Please define "strawman" (as you used it) without looking it up.

A servant owing a king 10,000 talents is so far from reality as to be impossible. That amount would be impossible to pay back even in many lifetimes, which is exactly the point Jesus was making with the illustration: it is impossible to "pay God back" for our sin.

Yes, you initiated the concept of "stuck" and defined it the first time you used it: "Each molecule of gas remains exactly in the same spot in relation to the earth at all times?" The answer to that question is obviously No. The appropriate response was as mine was: That's a strawman fallacy: a...

As I stated previously, focus on the impossible part, not the physical part.

You asked for an explanation for the issue as you misunderstood it. "The next level"? Wow... okay. Does that offend you? Yes, because it is. Where did the concept of "stuck" originate? With Magenta, or with you? Trace that, and then we'll continue.

You're still focusing on the wrong thing.

If you're going to attempt to correct my punctuation, at least ensure yours is correct. The ellipsis has only three periods.

I didn't quote the whole original post because most of it was irrelevant to my point, and I have no obligation to post irrelevant data. You throw shade at the NIV without even being certain of what the NIV says. So, instead of "I believe it is NIV", how about you do your own checking of facts.

No, you just throw shade in ignorance. Either do your homework, or hold your tongue.

What, in your view, is the distinction between "church" and "ecclesia", other than the different language?

I wonder... statute miles or nautical miles? ;)

Nothing like a little misrepresentation to muddy the waters. Gravity does indeed hold the atmosphere to the Earth. However, nobody has claimed or implied that every gas molecule remains exactly in the same spot in relation to the Earth at all times. That's a strawman fallacy.

You can't see the logic because you're focused on the wrong thing. The mountain, in this case, need not be a metaphor; it probably isn't. However, the text doesn't say that the devil and Jesus could see all the kingdoms of the earth from the mountain; it says "Again, the devil *took Him to a...

Now it is in the public domain, but it wasn’t for a long time after 1611.
