And just which ones do you think we can win?  Obviously when someone's
mind is predisposed to reject anything said;  then there are no words in
any language, that one could express to allow them to win. ( and yes, that
is a two way street) I have personally decided not to waste so much of my
time trying.

Terry, I will gladly read AND take into consideration any argument you can
make as to why the Bible says "two" but then says "seven" and later says
"two" again, and which number I should believe.  I have my beliefs, but I
am
willing to change them if faced with a more logical and well-supported
one.

I would like to point out that any inerrantist can win an argument when
they
can sufficiently prove that the Bible is inerrant, which is almost
impossible, becomes something that is supposedly "errant" needs only one
exception to be called "inerrant."

The reason you are losing these arguements is not because errantists will
not
listen,; indeed, I think it is clear that we listen with great detail to
what
you have to say ( special shout-out to Till ).  The fact is, you lose your
arguments because what you say can easily be disproven, or it is too
speculative to be considered proof.

Well lets see, you have been on the list for about a week and you are
already able to make such an assessment.  It does not take long, I
suppose.  I have not seen any arguments I have lost, I also have not seen
any that I have won either.  There is a difference between the two.

My mind is also predisposed to accept anything upon sufficient evidence or
reasoning.
I simply have not seen that evidence.
