I’m sorry for hastily saying there was no biblical balance offered. So far you and Roger have brought forth two posts with biblical arguments. So, yes, there was a some, but I believe these were greatly outweighed by the volume of responses without biblical argumentation. My statement was probably influenced by the fact that I have put out numerous biblical arguments on this thread that no one has responded to, except for Peter D. who responded to one of them. Care to respond to what I wrote in post # 750?

TJ, some of your comments are too obvious to respond to. I do not necessarily need to quote a verse to speak the word of God, in fact, all too often verses quoted neither support nor refute the point proffered. If I say that we should not categorically condemn all God's people as idolaters, how many scripture do I need?
Btw, post #750 is just too long for me to comment on.
And, also btw, "fair and balanced" can be well described by the word "forbearance." It is an excellent virtue of Christians. That's why it should be made known to others. In this godly virtue, the Lord is near. Some of the extreme views I have read here I would not want anyone to hear or know.
TJ, we can talk about this forever and get no where. The matter is simple. The N.T. does not support the extreme views on idolatry in all the LC's that are promoted by some on this thread. I personally feel, as I posted, that if the matter was that urgent for Israel, then the Lord would have addressed it while on earth, but he did not. Considering the breadth of topics covered in the gospels, this is legitimate.
You are entitled to your views also. Peace.
