First, refusal to confess equals the same thing as a bad confession in the passage of I John 4:2. Can you confess that Jesus is come in the flesh?

And then, on your pleasing God confusion... it is really sad that you can't simply pick up a Bible and find these things out for yourself.

Ro 8:8-9 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I am glad to see Maher pull the prank for

1) God knows he needs it

Yet blunt realism gets one banned for life. Well, let the contending begin (again yawn). That is from the Bible btw.

and quit hitting the report button so many times, it messes with the editors, they have better things to do you know.

Yes I teach the Bible, you are correct!

Except for one minor point you made...

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

So no, I don't write it off, I "rightly divide".

I would say that it has been many a man's formal education that has totaly and completely stripped him of his belief in God's true word. This practice of Bible correcting is seen all to often on this very site.

I am sure the Lord is pleased though, with all the brilliant modern-day scholars... (blunt sarcasm for those with too much education to understand).

"I'm sure Gordon Banes is having great fun with his biblical physics, but he seems to be ignoring the fact that the Bible was never intended to teach science."

What greater authority is there to teach science? What greater authority is there than God?
