The only person all this rebuking has got confused is you. It's perfectly
possible for a 52 year old to have BP that is normal for a 35 year old.
My GP told me so.

Are you really a doctor? I'm glad you aren't mine.

Ya know, that's quite a stunt...

Ironic that this comes from Andy, whose posts usually make less sense than
the word salad contained in the sporge attacks on s.m.c.

In any case, no sane person with an IQ 80 or above could fail to understand
what the poster was saying. I suspect it wasn't a misunderstanding, but you
knew what he was saying, and in typical Andy fashion twisted it to suit your
end. Either way, you are truly a pathetic human being, Andrew B Chung.

That's worded better than usual, but I personally don't feel it's
quite there yet. I believe to the layperson it would sound blatantly
contradictory.
Perhaps; 'we who recognize our sin, admit to it, and repent of it
daily.' (without any trace of pomposity).

As Adam and Eve had plenty to eat "You are free to eat from any tree
in the garden" I don't see how belly hunger could have been the issue.
To those of you who read Genesis 2 & 3 in full context, this becomes
apparent. To those who have an understanding of Hebrew and the
colloquial metaphors being used when Moses wrote Genesis, it becomes
more apparent still.

Same goes for reading something like 2nd Thessalonians in its full
context, and having an educated understanding of what the subject and
object are. I would suggest that anyone who's in need of putting
Biblical passages into proper context, attend some sort of a Bible
study that offers expository teaching.

Also, a rule of thumb in making doctoral issue of a particular verse,
is that one must read at least 20 versus before and 20 versus after
the chosen verse to at least get some perspective of proper context.
Another rule of thumb is that if it's supposed to be a doctrinal issue
of primary importance, there should be three or more separate verses
worded virtually exactly the same way (preferably by different
authors) to back it up . If there's only two separate verses, a
doctrinal issue of secondary importance. If there's only one verse, a
doctrinal issue of tertiary importance.
