The Firmament
I’ve been having a discussion over at Internet Pastor with the blog owner about the mention of the “firmament” in the Old Testament.
This is something I’ve planned on discussing on my own blog, but it looks like it will have to wait this week.
In any case, it’s turned into a rather interesting and somewhat humorous conversation, as I feel the good pastor keeps dodging my questions.
*Update 10-6-8
Internetpastor claims he can no longer have this discussion with me after learning of my gender.
Noodle,
Having only recently learned the truth of your gender I am obligated to inform you that due to the enormous respect I have for my marriage I have a personal conviction to not engage in intimate conversations (debates) with persons of the female gender. You are involved in other similar debates and I hope you find them stimulating.
You are welcome to comment on any of my articles as you wish.
Be well, sister.
Now, my gut tells me this is a cop-out. But, I’ll give this man the benefit-of-the-doubt and drop the debate at his site unless he wants to continue pursuing it. I posted the following as a response:
Well, that’s certainly a new cop-out for me.
Hope you’re truly being honest and not running away from something you’re tired of debating/don’t know how to debate/are worried you might be wrong about.
God bless.
I still plan on writing more about the firmament in the near future.

This guy is really a hoot! After telling me he can no longer converse with me based on my gender, he then refers to me in his most recent post as a “christian?”.
Likewise, if you believe as this {christian?}, you really have no clue what to believe, so you just go along with the current intellectual dogma, thereby actually losing your mind completely.
So, if you come across my mind, please return it. I’ve lost it completely (not partially, mind you).
And, in another post, I left a comment pointing out how Internet Pastor had contradicted himself (again). He then replies to the post but at the end leaves the following disclaimer:
This comment is to the panel and to no one in particular.
Like I said, he’s a hoot! Who does this guy think he’s fooling?

Interesting guy. Lot’s of names being called for a non-name caller.

That part of my article was deleted after I realized I was unfairly targeting you personally. I am sorry for that…
