My father is an expert in quoting scriptures that do not even exist in
any remotely related form.  He uses these scriptures to prove that we
Oneness types are all wrong.  The problem is that he never quotes
chapter & verse, only that "The Bible says..."

Its pretty easy to prove that a scripture *DOES* exist -- just give ch
& vs.  But have you ever tried to prove that one doesn't exist?  Yech!
You gotta read the whole Bible and show it ain't in there!

Despite this favorite "stunt" of his (I think he just does it to get
me going:-) my ftaher is a wise man: he *NEVER* does this when I am
around my computer, becuase I can just grep for it!
