On the other hand, maybe I'm just missing the Biblical arguments, but all I see is a bunch of assertions from Campbell, someone whose theology I don't particularly trust.<BR/><BR/>If there are some logical/Biblical arguments, it might be beneficial if you could place them in some sort of more organized and/or identifiable format.<BR/><BR/>-TurretinFanTurretinfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802277110253897379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-69104054449279680522008-12-13T03:30:00.000+00:002008-12-13T03:30:00.000+00:00Good point, Gene.
