Here’s the re-write for what was post #28:

Without evidence to begin with there is nothing to consider to begin with. Therefore, we cannot consider that the woman added to God’s word because there is no evidence that she did. Just as we cannot consider that the husband is the leader of the wife because there is no evidence that he is. (There is evidence however that God added to his word.)

If we begin with the idea that she added to God’s word we will end up with a conclusion that she added to God’s word. I claim that this is what comps do. It is with what they begin and with what they end. They begin with nothing and end with nothing. Those who accept the woman’s testimony on the other hand begin with her testimony (evidence) and end with her testimony (scripture).

If a comp responds with ‘the bible does not say that she did not add to God’s word’ to an egal that has said, ‘the bible does not say she added to God’s word’ all the comp is doing is continuing their argument/belief from silence while what the egal says refutes the original argument from silence, ‘she added to God’s word’.

Let’s look at a different example. If a comp responds with ‘the bible does not say that the husband is not the leader of the wife’ to an egal that has said, ‘the bible does not say that the husband is the leader of the wife’ again, the comp is continuing their argument/belief from silence while what the egal says refutes the original argument from silence, ‘the husband is the leader of the wife’. On both accounts, the comps position begins with silence, nothing, a blank from scripture and that is where it stays, and where it ends.

Beginning with a belief/argument with no evidence, is nothing to consider, because there’s no evidence to consider to begin with. In other words, we don’t consider what the bible does not say FIRST. First we consider what it does say and then we weight what it does not say to what it does.

So when someone says, ’the bible does not say that she did not add to God’s word’ they are continuing to offer ‘no evidence’. This is so because no one would say, ‘well ghee, the bible does not say that she did not add to God’s word’ without first considering what is not even in the bible, ’she added to God’s word’.

Is the husband the leader of the wife? The bible does not say so.

Did the woman add to God’s word? The bible does not say so.
