"Then answer the question. I like what you say about Gideon, so you get it. But you’re avoiding the question. There’s usually a reason why people avoid questions."

No I am not. You are comparing apples and oranges. The Lord used Gideon and his 300 men to defeat an army.

How on earth do you suspect that the Lord can use 300 people to win the presidency?

Let’s see... 300 votes against millions. There is a difference between winning a physical war, and winning the election, and you need to get with reality. One needs real votes to win an election, and not some verses about Gideon that are taken out of their context. In the end, a candidate still needs to win the electoral college, and that 1% of the caucus and primary votes doesn’t do it, no matter what verses you quote.

Once again, I like Hunter, but I like Thompson, too. I will vote for Fred in the GA primary. However, my vote and 299 other people won’t get him the nomination.

I have avoided no questions. You have avoided reality, and need to let it sink in.

Gideon faced an army of maybe 200k. So let’s call it 300k, that’s one to one thousand. You take that analogy and add your amazing preachable hyperbole and suddenly we’re looking at one to one million. Now, scale down your hyperbole by 3 — yes that is THREE — orders of magnitude. Then answer the question. Hyperbole is just another form of straw argumentation. That’s how far off you are, 3 orders of magnitude, you are off by ONE thousand IN YOUR in your straw argumentation.

Since you’ve been given 2 chances to answer the question, one time you avoid it, 2nd time you use straw argumentation, that is a good example of how strong your argument is: it’s very weak because it relies upon invalid reasoning. If this is an example of your preaching style, I would suggest that you take a critical thinking class so that you don’t mislead any of Christ’s children, which is important to me as a believer in Christ.
