text: We have a disagreement. It seems the more scholarly proof you produce, the surer you are in your opinion, and the more liberalized you seem to me, in my way of thinking. You never cite who your sources are; you know that mine are the Magisterium. My opinions are shaped by sources that have imprimaturs, both ancient and modern day. I even accept many assertions from the likes of FF Bruce and CS Lewis. (BTW, I'm not interested in your sources.) You assert your position is widely held – so do I, but I believe your position and argument style are flawed with the stains of intellectualism and reason. Both are a style in the class of unhappy Catholic or Protestant Apologist--I know that sounds redundant. You obviously have gained a good deal of scripture teaching and receive joy from it. Explain how it allows you to embrace the verses in Matthew on the Transfiguration. Show how a vast knowledge of genre of scripture and history joyfully imparts a stronger faith instead of pokes holes in it.
