now, you're not talking??? It happens a lot to me too.

godsandmen wrote about Revelations and John: "His 144,000 "virgins" is a good indication of that. Far be it for them to be married!

I am very interested in hearing/reading your explanations of these statements that you made earlier"

godsandmen wrote:" Paul writing hundreds of letters is just ridiculous. If he did, we would have those letters, or at least we would have references to them by later Christian authors. But we don't. Paul didn't write any other letters, and many of the so-called letters of Paul (like Colossians, Ephesians, and the pastoral epistles were not written by Paul at all."

and later godsandmen wrote:" There are, I believe, three letters of Paul that have been lost. One was a letter to the Corinthians prior to 1 Corinthians (referenced in 1 Cor. 5:9), one is a letter to the Laodiceans, and a letter to the Alexandrians."

This statement seems to contradict your earlier one. If there are 3, then there could be many others despite your earlier protestations that there couldn't possibly be any.
