    Well first, I don't know anything about Scott Rae, and secondly my previous post stands. I have no desire to participate in yet another abortion debate. No deal, Howie! :laugh:

    Firstly, I provided detailed quotes of Scott Rae's positions including the reference source. All you'd have to do is read them and then discuss whether you agree with him or not. The person or personality of Scott Rae is irrelivent. However, just FYI:

    This is the second thread in which you have made similar remarks (about not knowing enough to comment). If you have nothing to add to the discussion then just don't comment.

    Secondly, If you are unwilling to discuss abortion why raise it (or respond to it) as an off topic subject in another thread?

    You see in another thread that was not specifcally about abortion you also stated:

    You are attempting to argue hermenutics here. However, you fail to point out any error in the hermeneutical principles I use, or errors in the exegesis of the texts based upon said hermeneutics, or errors in the interpretation derived from said exegesis. Likewise, it is not solely "my interpretation." My interpretation agrees with a vast number of conservative Theologians on this issue. However, I do realize that we could both stack up accounts of Theologians who disagree over the issue. So numbers don't matter. The point is to disprove their arguments by exposing their hermeneutical errors, their exegetical errors, or their intrepretive errors.

    Read the material I quoted from noted Christian Ethicist, Scott B. Rae, and then make this argument showing where Rae is wrong regarding what the Scritures say by showing his hermeneutical errors, his exegetical errors, and/or interpretive errors (if any).

    No, I really don't care what Mr. Rae has to say on the matter.


    I will comment when I want, where I want. You invoked a quote from me from another thread. You were goading me to engage in this debate. I merely told you I am not biting.

    See the previous answers. I have no desire to talk about it here, nor any interest whatsoever in what this Scott Rae's opinion is.

    So you are not interested in coming to the BB to debate and discuss issues in a civil and rational manner. Okay.


    Okay, and I assume that you will not mind when your off-topic and unrelated posts are reported as such.

    Nope. I made the mistake of thinking that you seriously wanted to discuss/debate the abortion issue when you raised it as an off topic subject in another thread. I simply tried to provide a thread specifcally on that topic.

    So you have no interest in learning about a completely reasonable and biblical position that may contradict your currently held position. Interestng. You may as well stuff your fingers in your ears, close your eyes real tight and yell LA LA LA. Again, if this is the case why come to the BB and raise the abortion issue in a thread that was not specifically about abortion? That smacks of Trolling.

    Have I been giving you too much credit for rational thought? Nowhere do I say anything close to this. Don't have a clue how you derive such an idea.

    Be careful who you call a troll. This smacks of a personal attack on a longstanding participant in these boards. I participate fully in threads I deem of interest. I am not going back to find the context of what I posted in another thread, but you can bet it was in response to another comment. I tend to stay away from abortion threads and discussions.

    And again, I have no interest in discussing Mr. Rae's opinions, your repeated goading and attacks notwithstanding. As I have also stated, I have zero desire to participate in yet another ridiculous thread on abortion that will devolve into attacks (you are getting close) and name calling (e.g. "baby killer"). Don't need it.

    Okay, so is there anyone else out there that would seriously like to discuss the abortion issue in a civil and rational manner?

    Bible-boy, the posts, along with flippant replies on a serious subject, speak clearly for themselves to all of us and to those who stop by to read the BB.

    It was summed up best by this earlier quote:

    On that note, I am closing this thread.
