No, I asked Jim Stump first. What you typed came afterwards.
Have you read Ken Kemp’s paper “Science, Theology and Monogenism”, Eddie? He gives a coherent answer to your “two contradictory beliefs” and supposedly “direct and clear” questions to me. Rather blunt threats to leave (“if you don’t”, “if I get”, etc.) the conversation are not needed and I don’t consider such talk ‘gracious dialogue.’
Obviously you have not read my comments and questions to Dennis Venema in this thread, to continue to ask such questions.
You are nevertheless choosing to ‘fence sit’ theologically, Eddie, personally ignoring the Church traditions on historical A&E. That is both ‘nice’ and ‘relevant’ to the conversation.
If you want a direct question: yes or no - do you accept theological monogenism? I accept it.
