so you say, but you cannot name an uncontested absolute statement of truth from Scripture, either.
so, being as how the rise of logical thought can be traced back to the Greeks at about the time of Christ, and Hebrew writers are acknowledged to have thought dialectically, imo the contrast is worth considering.
A red herring by definition is a false trail that produces no fruit, yes?
And you cannot logically put yourself in the place of, say, Cain, or Esau, right now, can you?
Because you are saved, so none of those passages even concern you, right?
They are parables put into the Bible for lost people, to you right now, isn't that correct?
So i suggest that a dialectic perspective will allow you to access the whole Bible, if you will let it; even if the connection is not immediately clear.
Here you go changing topic again - a red herring.
I wish you would become informed about the nature of a red herring fallacy. It is:
attempting to redirect the argument to another issue to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. While it is similar to the avoiding the issue fallacy, the red herring is a deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original (source:red herring).
