You asked for example of sarcasm. I gave a passage I see as sarcasm. I read no evil motive from you and no evil motive was intended from me.

Do you have an opinion about my question? Do you think that the Bible is sometimes written in this kind of figurative and sarcastic way? This is the crux of the discussion on Psalm 2:7. Is it figurative? We also have had discussions about anthropological theology. Is this reading by Bill of Psalm 2:7 an example of that? He is the one who has brought this up, and so I think my question is very appropriate. You seem to be errantly reading some evil motive of mine between the lines. Shalom.
