...they have to invent 'scripture' to support their arguments when biblical scripture won't?
For example, earlier today I asked why God created a talking snake in Eden, yet no other animal talked. I was told it was Satan, tho' there is no scripture that claims Satan was permitted in Eden (and why would God let Satan into Eden, given that God is omniscient?).
When I asked whether Jesus condoned war or condoned people doing violence to others for any reason, I was told the "render onto Caesar that which is Caesar's" included military service. Yet that quote is a direct response to being asked whether it was lawful to pay taxes. Caesar's picture is on the coin, thus the reference to Caesar.
If they have to invent scripture to support their beliefs, why should I believe them when they tell me to trust the bible?
