and to Slavakion...i doubly agree with the fables comparison. when you literalize the text, the other thing that happens is that the "meaning" gets fixed. the book is of little use that way...the point is to struggle with the questions, and think with in the story.

I, myself really wasnt trying to steer things in anyway.....I was simply looking forward to seeing how "we heathens that claim to be christians" (paraphrasing from the original post) responded to why we consider ourselves that way, when we know good and well we are sinning. I was thinking the responses would be more "spiritually" based and not scriptually...and certainly not the antagonistic vein its going in, or the catholic/christian debate since there is already another thread going on about that. SM70, I thought in his initial post, posted some very good information...then they were put on the defensive and it screwed the whole thing up
