    Jesus Prayed

    Scriptural contradictions. Good for you. That's 1 fault. Only 19 more to go to prove you know what you're talking about. ( It's ony one because these can be copied and pasted from anywhere ) And what about the list of all the differences you've observed in Chrisitan denominations over the...

    Tisk, tisk, tisk... It's against the rules to alter another person's post. But no worries, I saved them for you, have at it: Here's not even the tip of the iceberg: 1.Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel? (a) God did (2 Samuel 24: 1) (b) Satan did (I Chronicles 2 1:1) 2.In...

    Why is this world out of control?

    I don't think I've done that. The readers can decide, I suppose. I simply wanted us to keep from going on unnecessary tangents across multiple posts. That people have done it doesn't mean i think it's reasonable. It muddies the waters. Of course. As it's your opinion that it isn't...

    Why is this world out of control?

    Well actually, no. It's save me repeating what I said, or doing needless finger tapping. You see, your answers to these questions will tell me if you ignored what I said, and just was interested in what you wanted to say. I mentioned the need to avoid that, and talking past each other. I...

    Slavery

    Yes. Not from a JW website that attempts to decieve others. But, I'm not going to dismiss the evidence, it was my intention all along for you to present it anyway. Sorry, but you probably mistook your own reflection from your screen thinking that I have the same mindset as you. I was just...

    Slavery

    Really? Where did you get that piece of information? Off the top of your head, and are you just saying it because it's easy to say? Actually, the word slave existed long before our modern era. That's why it's in the Torah. The original-language words rendered “slave” or “servant” are not limited...

    Melchizedek: Psalm 110:4 and its Discontents

    Considering the remainder of your post, I find it odd that you rely on the fairly weak position that because a certain phrase is found in two places there can only be one conclusion. Here are some other possibilities: - The pro-Maccabean author was doing something not the common way of...

    Melchizedek: Psalm 110:4 and its Discontents

    This post consists of my own personal reflections on what I find to be a particularly fascinating but perplexing expression in Psalm 110:4. I welcome the opinions of other interested posters on how the text is best interpreted: “al dibratiy malki-sedeq” אתה כהן לעולם על דברתי מלכי צדק This...

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    In post #278 you wrote "Sorry, if you think so, you have not read, or you have not understood, or you are just lying. In any case, that argument makes you look bad." You have 3 options The first implies that you think i am a liar. The second implies that i am stupid The third directly accused...

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    I didn’t call you a liar. I think you should read more carefully what I said. I wouldn’t do so, and I don’t have any reason to believe the Jews did so. But maybe you would have done so in the same situation, because that idea seems to come purely from your mind, not from the scriptures. He...

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    So no apology for calling me a liar? How christian of you So an omniscient god who created every thing is upset with his own creation (so not omniscient then) and chooses to kill his creation including innocent children, unborn feotus's, every animal, every fish, every plant, tree etc...

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    Genocide means basically murder, and murder is unjust/unlawful killing. God has right to decide how long life he gives to people, that is why He is not a murderer. He has given life, so He has also right to decide how long life He gives, and there is no reason why He must give more. and when...

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    you go girl, but remember, the God of the OT is not the "Father" of Jesus in the NT.

    Do You All Want the End of Humanity?

    Dont call me a liar. Genesis 6:11-17, god commits genocide snd you love it Deuteronomy 20:13-14, god approves the Israelites stealing then enemies property, taking their wives as sex slaves 2 Samuel 8:13, David murdered 18000 Edomites and made the rest slaves You may have a different...

    Original Sin

    All you got is what someone else considers to be a contradiction and then you repeat wh First in 2 Samuel 24:9, Here we find Joab counted the men of Judah were 5 hundred thousand men. Ok Now in 1 Chronicles 21:5, here we find Joab counted only 4 hundred and threescore and ten thousand men.Ok...

    Original Sin

    101 Contradictions in the Bible: Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9). Four hundred and seventy thousand (I Chronicles 21:5) God sent his prophet to threaten David... Three months and ten days (2 Chronicles 36:9) The chief of the mighty men... One thousand and seven hundred (2 Samuel 8:4)...

    Is the Messiah to Bring Peace or Tribulation?

    What is the meaning of this text? Is it a reference to King David or the Messiah, or a double meaning? Rabbi Moses ben Maimon suggests the latter: I shall see him, but not now. This is David - I shall behold him, but not nigh. This is the king Messiah - A Star shall come out of Jacob. This...

    Atheism is a RELIGION

    Apologetics, blind assumption and wild leaps in a time machine of no help. The bible is clearly written, interpretation is not required unless the bits you dont like need to be covered up.

    Atheism is a RELIGION

    Chapter 21of Judges is part of the internal strife in ancient Israel. I find the word ' wives ' (Not slaves) at Judges 21:14; Judges 21:18; Judges 21:22-23. Those people (Jabesh-Gilead Joshua 9:3-27) had No harm come to them - Joshua 3:15; Joshua 3:18 Besides long-term slaves, there were in...
