Then you're not a flying squirrel, but you're a squirrel flying?

I never claimed I could turn into a flying squirrel, just the ordinary kind.

Now, since you have no way to prove that I can't turn into a squirrel, do you think it's possible that I can?

And no one equivocates more than one who says he can turn into a squirrel, right?

In what way am I equivocating?

I am not making use of words with similar sounds, I am claiming that I literally can become a squirrel. My body changes shape, I get a nice fluffy tail.

I am not using fallacious reasoning. I am making a very definite claim.

I am not using a semantic shift, metaphor, amphiboly, or anything else.

I am making a claim in clear language. I am not being ambiguous, and I am speaking literally. I can turn into a squirrel. Since you can't prove that I am unable to turn into a squirrel, you must accept that I can. Clear?

:eek: -- Do birds glide?

What nonsense is this? Anything that glides must be part bird?

Is this PERSON part bird? Is this an avian human?

Here's the change I'm looking for:

Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.


And that fluffy tail you're talking about -- I'd look in the mirror, if I were you.

You might just be a wolf in sheep's clothing, rather than an ape in squirrel's.

...or have the right to say he does, either.


i must be really bored

It is rather odd that an omnipresent God who is not willing that any should perish would be in hiding. (For the obtuse: that means I shouldn't need to search every cc of the universe to conclude that an omnipresent God who doesn't me to perish is a concept is that unconvincing.)
