This may come as a surprise, but Jesus could not speak English.

[royol]

English had not been 'Invented' when Jesus was alive, so he did not speak English,
when the Bible quotes Jesus, it is a rough translation of what he said not the actual words he said, so please do not hear Jesus when you hear the words, sorry.... you hear whoever you like, it is not my place to tell you who you should hear, hear George W if you like.

 

[mr.guy]

We're so lucky you're around to enlighten.

 

[Mr. Hair]

Even more shocking, his actual name wasn't Jesus!

When will these faith-shattering revelations cease?

 

[Linus]

Neither did Paul, nor John, nor Peter. Nor anyone within either the Old or New Testaments for that matter. What is you point?

 

[evearael]

What do you wish to debate?

 

[mr.guy]

What do you wish to debate?

[MaddLlama]

Isn't that amazing? He spoke Aramaic/Hebrew, and guess what, His name wasn't even Jesus, it was Yeshua. How about that.....this isn't all that knew Royol. You didn't stun a single person except yourself.

 

[Matt88]

Wow, I never knew this faith-shattering conclusion! People telling me the Earth was round is nothing compared to this!

 

[royol]

What do you wish to debate?

The point I am trying to make, and what I would like to discuss is,
I maintain, that what is written in the bible and taken so seriously by all believers,
is not what actually happened, the words attributed to everyone is not what
they actually said, people use quotes from people in the bible as if they are the
very words they used.
I know that you know they did not speak English, had they, we may have been able to quote what they had said, but how many times has it been translated?
The way the bible is used so literally is wrong, very wrong, it is a guide, nothing more.

Explaini what you mean by this.

, but how many times has it been translated?

Several, but so has various other non-religious texts, the American consitution, and other things, that doesn't make them any less valid.

Yes, it is a guide. Wow, how about that, you finally got something right.

 

[Mystic-als]

royol - you're right about the bible being a guide. But this doesn't detract from it's affect on my life and others here at RF.

Jesus wasn't white???? Can't be true! When will it stop? All these lies?

 

[Bishka]

Jesus wasn't white????

I think he was more olive...:yes:

 

[nutshell]

Come on, people. Lets play nice. Royol has a good point that could turn into an interesting discussion if we weren't acting so high and mighty...

After all, what would Jesus say if he came down her and read these sarcastic posts???


???


Umm....


Wait a minute....




If he didn't speak English could he read it????


And if he did say something would we understand it!!!???



:thud: :thud: :thud:

 

[Bishka]

If he didn't speak English could he read it????

Well He is the Son of God and all-powerful, so I'd say, yes.

 

[nutshell]

Well He is the Son of God and all-powerful, so I'd say, yes.

my humor was lost...it was a joke
:thud:

 

[BucephalusBB]

Well He is the Son of God and all-powerful, so I'd say, yes.

But would he go to this site in the first place?
I'd say he has tons of other things to do than going to site who needs his help the least.

 

[Bishka]

:thud:

No, I got it, I was just taking a serious tone with it.
