    Uh, since God is not a "kind", I would have to give honour where honour is due, the KJB translators use of the word "only begotten" best fits the accuracy of the Truth. </font>[/QUOTE]God is not of a "kind"? Yes, He is. He is deity... a different kind from angels or humans. He is the Creator... a different kind from the created. He is holy... a different kind from the sinful. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent... a different kind from the finite.

    You wouldn't know logic if it bit you.

    To be logical, you have to start with a rational premise and account for the available, relevant facts before drawing a conclusion. You never do any of these things when posting. I have never seen you post anything closely approaching a rational proof for any of your assertions.

    Ralph is questioning the genuineness of my salvation because I am agreeing with the translation found in the KJV. That has got to be a new one for Ralph—or maybe not! Apparently Ralph has not the slightest idea of what is real and what is not.

    Plain ol' Ralph said:

    Uh, since God is not a "kind"

    What kind of thing is Yahweh? He is a god. He is not another kind, like a man or an angel or a plant or a rock. It matters not that he is the only example of his kind.

    I cannot believe what I read in here sometimes

    Me either, but most of the twaddle seems to come from your kind (pun intended), so I've learned to lower my expectations. [​IMG]
