Re: my boy problems (almost no otr)
So why even have scripture? You can't just do away
with an argument from scripture by saying "well, you
can justify any point of view from scripture", because
you can't justify all view points from scripture. No
more than you can justify murdering 11 people based on
the Beatle's White Album. That album didn't stop
meaning what the authors inteded and start meaning
what Manson got from it just because of his twisted
reading.
Is that harsh?
