Again, Oomis, knowing Tanach, as you said has nothing to do with wining these characters. As YOU said, they come readily prepared with their misconstrued, contorted “meanings”, so it should really only take a sensible mind to discern their bluffs.
I know quite well how they act, the modus operandi (is that a word?), I know they’re quite adept at their work, but I still think a sensible approach is the best. (if you wanna have some fun, that is).
It’s many years later than the Ramban, who after a debate was forced to leave, today we have the invention of free speech – why not use it to it’s fullest. ?? ??????? ????? ??? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?????, here’s my chance at at, why not?!?
I’ve never really delved into their stuff (have a genius of a brother who did), I’ve heard that there’s a hazy, fuzzy couple of maybe hundreds of years that are not accounted by them, overlap or overflop.
