    It is called presenting a tenant as a fact and then rapidly backing away from it.

    And you seem to not want to recognize any statement you made insinuating it to be fact, a point that you did make.

    In a situation similar to the My Eschatology thread, it seems to me you've misunderstood my initial point. My guess is that whatever tenant you refer to isn't actually a tenant that I hold, or that I have presented, but one which you inferred incorrectly. But then again, it's not quite clear from your post what tenant you're referring to. Would you mind pointing out which bit it is you think I am backpedalling on please?

    Check out what we LDS teach on this topic.

    Still a good question would be if GOD would be evil to treat evil people in a evil way?

    Suppose the Jews got their part of the story wrong? Suppose later translators translated wrong?

    Can we all just agree that eatable bananas are actually white but the skin color does not have to always be white?
