You seem to have become fixated on this section of scripture. I may be duplicating a question I asked you on another thread, but allow me to perhaps rephrase it. What do you think happened in the scripture you cite?
I get your point from the beggining , but you don't understand what you are presenting is vague.
First , let's talk about dust.
Genesis 3:19
"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground,since from it you were taken;for dust you are and to dust you will...
Humans have a tendency to interpret scripture differently. Why, so many different denominations.
John 1:1 says that the Word of God was with God and the Word of God was God.
1:3 Says the world was created by Him says 1:14 say the Word became flesh and dwelt among Us 1:10-11 the *world* and his...
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and have been for the last 47 years.
The God and Father of Jesus Christ.
Sometimes out loud but often in silent communication with God in my mind.
Using the Lord's Prayer as a template, it is appropriate to pray for the sanctification of God's name in a world...
Then you must also believe that the Psalms, - actually the entire Bible - prophets, Jesus, and his apostles are fiction, or they are all deceivers / liars.. Which do you believe?
Seriously, why do you bother to mention it, if you deny the entire Bible, less it be a mockery?
Do you believe...
Considering that god conferred it on people, he must like it.
1 Samuel 2:7
The Lord makes some poor, and he makes others rich. He humbles some people, and he honors others.
1 Kings 3:13
And I will also give you what you did not ask for. You will have riches and honor all your life. There will...

2Chronicles1:8
Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Now, Lord God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of...
The majority of those do nothing but parrot what Tanakh says.
And how exactly does a NEWER book, parroting an OLDER book, that Jesus whom was Jewish - as a teacher taught, - mean, "the New Testament is a natural continuation of God's revelation is the fulfilment of past scripture and the...
I not only read it many times over, I also taught it and still continue to teach it (a looooooooooooooong story).
Also, it should be again noted that the "N.T." was written after two of the verses you cited in your post #8, so you really shot yourself in the foot on that.
The great test of whether the New Testament is a natural continuation of God's revelation is the fulfilment of past scripture and the completion of divine purpose. Both these things are found in the New Testament.
In fact, I did go to some trouble to list some of the parallel references. I...
Nice, but they have no bearing on---don't change in any way---your stated goal, which is to"focus on debating the actual issue, which is the content of the bible, and determining whether or not it is actually erroneous."
Sorry CB, but you're going to have to swallow this one. Your tap dance is...
How about you let ME do that instead (instead of you taking my words out of context).
Rather than formulate a subjective opinion about why I think the bible is wrong or right, or why other people who I've never met before may or may not follow it, I'd rather focus on debating the actual...
Ok becky, just for you.:D
Genesis 13:2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Joshua 22:8
And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much...
