So my advice to you would be, that if you think you have the truth on this, then you need to set up a separate thread, outlining your view on it, as clearly as possible. So that other Christians here on ATS, can address your perspective, and put it to the test, i.e. by questioning it.
Anyway, I appreciate everything you’ve written, but you have written quite a LOT there. And in order to give it a proper response, (either here, or on a new thread) it’s going to take me some time.
Peace…

“has EVEN it's own adherants discussing what these terms mean”
The adherents (the Christians) know exactly what those terms mean, and 98% of them are in agreement with there definition and purpose. It’s only the other 2 posters, who don’t seem to quite agree, with the majority.

But isn’t Balderdash just a matter of perspective. The reason I think your putting yourself in this Balderdash category, is because you have yet to make the unknown, known. And also you don’t believe in those Christians tenants, so naturally they’ll be Balderdash to you. Alien abductions are Balderdash to some people, doesn’t mean they don’t happen.
Ok , picture this…There’s an annual Poll as to whether Aliens are malevolent or benevolent. You turn up, and state it’s all Balderdash then demand, that this new category be inserted at once…
Is your opinion wrong?….(Not necessarily from your perspective)
Is this the right way to approach it ….? Hmmm, (I’ll let you decide)

I've been doing this for the last few years here on ATS. I also answered it clearly from scripture in this very thread. You can read my string of answers if you are interested. The scripture is clearly outlined and agrees with my position. Being in the minority is the best place to be. Truth is a narrow path and few travel it.

That question would be best answered by someone asserting what I knoe...you decide...I included myself in the poll as a RC

NOOOOOO! You are definately a Brobdingnagian or Houyhnhnm, or my name isnt J. Swifteroo. Im in the Balderdash catagory as well, as ITS A GOOD PLACE TO DUCK, then reveal myself for what I really am (nanosecond timing as ITS 2 days into deer season) missed the whole Christian 98% poll thing (but thats my nature to vigorously ignore the most important of points).edit on 2-11-2013 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)

Nanosecond timing of the trip-up sense (self-inflicted) is funny to watch (am I a Schadenfreudian?)...
I find it hard 'arguing' with the keystone cops...can't stop laughing at all the pie throwing and slipping over in cottled creme...Å99
