In reply to:
if any of you thinks that he/she can help Pilgrim and I understand each other's arguments, then I invite you to try. :-)

Marcus,

I believe you are incorrectly reading Pilgrim. He has been very cordial with you and yet your only defense of your theological position has been:

    1. others are PMing you with support, though there is no visible support for your theological position. Why?

    2. you throw accusations at someone who has disproved your theological position. By your posts you have demonstrated to the majority of us who normally post here:
      1. that you do not understand Hodge's commentary (BTW it was not posted in your support I assure you. In fact, it supports Pilgrim's view.)

      2. that you are ignoring the obvious facts of the Scripture

      3. that your only support has been straw man arguments Please, I for one would appreciate it if you would attempt to curb this apparent appetite of yours to degrade others and give us a straight forward exegetical study, verse by verse, of the texts in question.

Reformed and Always Reforming,
