Nice Strawman you found.

i STATED i WAS SICK OF THE COMMENT

I'm sick of them, how about you post what YOU believe, rather than what we DO NOT believe.
Show me in my statement where I am wrong

Quit presenting things we don't believe as though we do, and I can guarantee that you will not be called on Strawman fallacies.
I wasn't see above, and the woe is us gets really old. Buck up and defend the faith (jude 1:3 tells us to)

The post above was not made by me, rather Trento, so I will not address it.

However:
Repeated statements (many by you) have been made that misrepresent our beliefs, then those statements have been attacked. That is a strawman. Quit making those statements that misrepresnt what we believe, or better yet, refrain from telling us and others what we believe, and we will stop pointing out the logical fallacies of your statements.

And He still sits at the right hand side of God to be the mediator. For we still can not get to the Father except through Christ. No one can.

His mediation was His sacrifice...if that is not so, what does He mediate to God for us now? In other word's, what mediation do we need from Him to God, besides His sacrifice which restored us to God?

I see the problem now, you thought I was speaking of your response to Trento, I was not, I was speaking of the Strawman problem in general, and how to mitigate it.

Your statement referenced above is untrue (there are no EO splinters) but I'm not sure it is a Strawman, but I didn't mean for it to seem that that I was calling that statement such, and I wasn't addressing it.

Sorry for the confusion.
