   First of all, I would be happy to discuss the errancy of the Book of 
Mormon with you, but I thought that this group focused on the Bible.  As 
I have said before, I was not given any guidelines to what this group 
was about except for the title.  I merely signed on at the invitation of 
Mr. Frame.
   You are coming from the viewpoint that the Bible is errant; I am
coming from the viewpoint that it is from God and therefore accurate. 
If you do not want me to use what the Bible says in order to discuss the 
Bible,then I see no point in being here.

BRIDEAN
I see A LOT of people here quoting what the Bible says in order
to discuss the Bible.  I'm sure many people on the list can even
forward examples of this.  I see the above as an unwarrented
statement.  

PAT
You were just asking about spiritual/resurrected bodies.  If you don't 
believe in the Bible, why even discuss it? 

BRIDEAN
If you DON'T BELIEVE that the Bible is ERRANT then why discuss ERRANCY?  
Let's try that reasoning on you and see what you come
up with.

PAT
If you want to  discuss the Bible among yourselves with
no opposing viewpoint, please tell me why the group is looking for
Christians to be involved?  To what purpose?

BRIDEAN
I see NOTHING which indicates that the errancy list does not want
an opposing viewpoint.  What I do see is that you seem to want to
make opposing viewpoints and expect them to not get criticized. 
This is rediculous.  It would be like posting to Christian boards
telling them how wrong the Bible is and not expecting to get criticized 
(you wouldn't criticize me for doing that now would you?)

It seems to me that Christians quite often are the ones who do not
want to hear opposing viewpoints.  Usually people with anti-Christian
viewpoints get removed, or are threatened to be removed from Christian
discussion groups.  You are a threatening viewpoint to the errancy
group.  Do you have any evidence that Farrell Till is going to
remove you from the list?
