Quote by: Suburbanite  the opposite of literal is metaphorical, not non-literal |
Something that annoys me... the opposite of something isn't its "opposite" but actually "not something"... makes no sense?
The opposite of LOVE isn't HATE, it's apathy, or no love.
The opposite of BLACK isn't WHITE, it's NOT BLACK.
The opposite of ... I'm sure you get the point. Sorry for getting all crazy-technical on you ><;;

Quote by: rez At one point in human history a lot of people thought the world was flat and that that diseases were caused by evil spirits, but those beliefs turned out to be false. |
But you say it yourself: TURNED OUT TO BE FALSE. As in, proven otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty, right? So we can believe the Bible in peace until someone has flat-out proof that we shouldn't...

Quote by: Winter wind I hate to keep jumping up and down on the fact, but what about the quotes about wineskin and the obsolete-ness of the "old covenant" that I pointed out earlier. |
The Old Testament [and "Old Covenant"] is obsolete. Jesus came down to tell us that. Christianity branched off of Judaism to tell us that. It is more important to follow anything said *later* in the Bible than earlier.
