    One of the best ways to show listening skills is to be able to accurately restate what a person is saying so that they consider you have understood them.

    On this thread, because we do not vocalize but post written words, I would like to suggest everyone switch sides. Pretend your view is that opposite of what you hold. Present the view in such a way that those that hold that view would consider you actually hold that view, too.

    This thread is to be treated not as a battle, but a fun way to demonstrate knowledge and skill.

    May I suggest the following format:
    1) State in a single sentence what you actually hold as valid. You might be a blend, then state that. This will let the readers know what you are not.

    2) Write the opposite then of what you hold. I trust the Administrators and Moderators will join in and for a short time allow a bit of leniency by a presenter.

    3) Who can do the best to support the opposing thinking with Scriptures?

    4) Would it be appropriate for the Administration and Moderation folks to give out a ranking of who is the best, the next best, and the third place?

    Again, this is meant to be fun, so spiteful thinking and mockery is to be set aside.

    Who wants to be first?
