How could you be a reliable exigetical resource but don't know the difference between Paul and John?
<renders respect> You're right. Saul became _Paul_ on the road to Damascus.
Another reason for everyone to read for themselves before taking the word of un-detail-oriented people like myself. So don't "get sold," read for yourself.
The rest of his post, I believe, is just as inaccurate and poorly expressed.
IMO anyone who claims to have read the Bible several times but can't distinguish between Paul and John is trying to sell me a bill of goods.\
Oh please. You're being a tool. How about elaborating instead of simply brushing off due to a simple mistake of a name. One which Kage has just admitted to making. It was an accident.
One time I called Champ Baily Charles Woodson. That doesn't mean I am not a walking football encyclopedia. It didn't invalidate the point I was making about the cornerback. It just meant I had a brain fart and mixed up a name.

This is no way in God's green Earth that you're going to get me into a discussion on the Book of Revelations, I won't even do that at church.
The part about creation....Ireally have to disagree with because it's a non-issue---somehow, how Man was created has something to do with his being created in the image of God. I don't agree.
As for Jesus, and the children thing, the doctrine and teachings of Christ are much more complicated than that.
Anyway. Christian thinking is MUCH more layered and nuanced than it's being portrayed here. Here's a web site where you can hook up with some of it. Mars Hill Audio

Are you sure that they're gill remnants and not something else?
Well, they look like gills, they are at the same place where gills are in fishes...
If you don't like gills, what about a tail? The human embryo develops a tail which reaches maximal length at the sixt week and then later shortens again.

I notice the only thing you disputed is the name, and not the merits of the real point of the post.
