ACHILLES
So you simply disobey his recorded teachings whenever you disagree with
them, or find them inconvenient? Or if not, what is the criteria which you
use to determine which of his teachings you will live by and which you will
disregard? If you can disregard a command as explicit as that, why do you
need to follow any of them? Why do you bother to read the bible at all?

"...we are not simply contending in order that my view or that
of yours may prevail, but I presume we ought both of us to be
fighting for the truth..."
