This verse isn't about the womb. In fact, to make it about that ignores the whole context. If you read it your way everyone would be a child of hell, not just the Pharisees. Jesus obviously called them children of hell because they were acting like the devil. This is a terrible warping of scripture.

Well, you have not defined for me what your holiness looks like, so yeah, it's still subjective.

You refused to acknowledge the bodily resurrection of Jesus and refused to acknowledge the incarnation. You keep dancing around my questions that are just about the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Did the resurrection happen? Did Jesus, as I said before come as a baby while simultaneously...

You aren't a Christian. Got it.. why not just be honest about it from the start?

If you are merely saying faith will always show, I agree, but " holiness" is highly subjective. I guess I've been burnt on the topic and no longer feel inclined to decide who is in or out. We all have our sins.

BTW I find it extremely amusing that you presumably believe that God can and did transport himself to Earth to be planted into a human embryo while simultaneously running the universe, and later raised himself and others back to life, but you think he's gonna have trouble moving a polar bear?

You don't believe God can guide the preservation of the essential Word? Perhaps the history was important to early Jewish Christians, but not so much for later time periods.

You never answered my question. And where does the Bible say when the flood happened? Again, if it's all mythology, why believe in the resurrection?

Um, no not exactly. All you need is the different kinds of animals, not every variety. For example, you only need canines, not each coyote, fox, wolf etc. And the "proof" is all in how you interpret the evidence. But I can see you don't really believe the Bible is inspired, so why would you...

No they aren't and never were.

Maccabees isn't in the Protestant canon...

The point is that " holiness" can't save you or keep you saved. I can never be holy enough to deserve salvation.

It's either all the word of God or it's not. If it's not, why take any of it seriously? If you get to just pick and choose, you can make up any doctrine.

All of these deeds are summed up in Jesus saying love your neighbor. But no one does that perfectly. I know. I've been to " holiness" churches a lot.

Not eternal torment, but torment nonetheless. A person in hades eventually gets cast into the lake of fire. Unless the annilists are right, that's no improvement.

I said nothing about him physically meeting Jesus. If that's the only way to know Jesus, we are all doomed.

So you believe it's possible to be perfect, just like Jesus? Or did Jesus say you must be perfect in order to show us that we can not reach heaven by merely doing the right things?

So, only some scripture is inspired? Only the portions you agree with perhaps?

So, this begs the question: What are "works" to you? Are works being active in sharing the gospel or helping others or are works abiding by a set of rules like not buying gas on Sunday and maybe not wearing certain clothes? When you propose that there's a set of laws we must follow, the logical...

You also said Paul didn't know Jesus. I disagree.
