And yet, you responded. Hmmm....

After all this, you still don't understand enough of your
opponents' doctrine to realize that our assertion is
that it is as hard for an unregenerate person to believe
in God as it is for him to fly to the moon (or to ride
his camel through the eye of a needle.)

He didn't say anything about the cause of the belief.

Which is a repetition of the initial assertion.

Peter's confession is hotly debated (between Protestant and RC, for
example); and the JWs don't read Thomas' confession the way we do.
Their reading is contrary to the Greek -- but that doesn't change the
fact that they see it differently.

So why aren't you RC? Are you not saved?

And yet, in another thread, you said that the 'literal' reading did
permit for metaphor, typology, etc. Which is it?
