:Aschlafly, 185,000 killings went unsolved in the United States from 1980 to 2008. Does this mean that Satan committed or planned all these killings? Surely someone committed these murders?

== third person ==
Aschlafly, you are claiming that in the ''Epistle to the Hebrews'' Jesus Christ is speaking about himself in the third person. That wouldn't be unheard of, we find this often in classical literature. E.g., when we read
:{{cquote|Caesar saw the horse.}}
it could well be that Caesar was the author of this sentence. But what's about
:{{cquote|Caesar saw me.}}
Here it is obvious that Caesar is not the author, as we have an instance of the first person (''me''). The same holds true for the ''Epistle to the Hebrews''. One example is Hebrews 3:6
Χριστὸς δὲ ὡς υἱὸς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· οὗ οἶκός ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς ἐάνπερ τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὸ καύχημα τῆς ἐλπίδος μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν
Reading this, you see that Christ is set over the house, while ''we'' (including the author!) are the house. If you study the epistle diligently, you will find many such examples.
And please, address the points in the sections above! --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 08:50, 27 November 2012 (EST)
