"Exactly my point. You will not engage with those who think differently than you on a topic near and dear to your heart. You are simply dismissive."

What you "think" about what the word of God says is dismissed because it is unimportant.

What you think is only of any importance to you. It is the opinion of the god you have created in your own mind. Which the word of God calls idolatry. That is why you need to defend it in meaningless debate with what others "think".

To those who are not of the spirit of God, the Bible is just a book. A book which they will manipulate to support the idolatrous god of their imagination. That is not what I think, but what the word of God says.

But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14)

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)

The entire Bibles stands on the book of Genesis. It is repeated and referenced throughout the New Testament. Jesus himself referred to it. (Matthew 19:3-4)

If one does not believe the book of Genesis, then why should they believe any of the Bible. That is why the Biblical account of Creation has been so relentlessly attacked by humanist, they know it is the foundation of Christianity. If they undermine that book, they destroy the foundations of the Bible.

"If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (John 3:12)"

The fundamental reason that people reject the God of the Bible is because they love their sin and want to remain in it.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God. (John 3:19-21)

To those who are not of the spirit of God, the Bible is just a book.

Is that what William Law meant?
