Oh I bet it must feel great and free to make stuff up as you wish and not be bound to some 'confining Bible'.
If you don't know what the church teaches, haven't read it, how can you make a decision?
That's pretty ignorant.
And, why do you bother with this thread? You've been given biblical examples of why we believe what we do. If you choose not to believe it, that's fine. Find a football thread or something else to talk about.
At the very least find a convincing argument that you can put forward to defend your position.
A complete straw man.
