> "Extraneous philosophers, theologians and pontificators have no merit of biblical authority to me." I'm assuming you are referring to Saint Thomas Aquinas, since it is the only theologian I've mentioned. Wow, how education has changed. If you knew who Thomas Aquinas was, you'd know his influence on Western thought is substantial. This "extraneous" theologian was considered a major theologian, who influenced the likes of many later historical figures, including the founding fathers of this nation. This "extraneous" theologian is considered one of the Catholic Church's greatest theologians and philosophers. He is venerated in not only in the Roman Catholic Church, but in the Anglican Communion and Lutheranism and the protestant faith. > "While these individuals have some interesting things to say sometimes, I do not adhere to their word as the final say of what is in the bible. They are the Sadducees and Pharisees of the new testament." Sir, it has become quite obvious to me that you do not know what you are talking about, nor do I believe you are interested in knowing about our Creator's Nature and the Eternal Laws as part of His Divine Order. You live in it and dwell here, yet it is cosmopolitism that has over taken corporate Christianity and blinded so many.
