Whoop-de-doo. Some of the biggest freaks in the Universe are ordained clergy. (Yourself not excepted.)
Did you actually attend seminary, or did you respond to an ad you saw in the back of some magazine?
Again, what denomination are you?[/quote]
I did not intend to brag... I just thought I would indicate that I have over thirty years of serious biblical studies.
I don't give out my denominational roots because I would prefer to be attacked for my personal beliefs rather than theirs.
I would rather be attacked for my actions rather than the actions of my teachers.
If you are so studied in various beliefs you should be able to detect my denomination by the brand of thought I portray as "truth".
Found it!
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
