When you quoted me, you posted the links already posted to you.I haven't posted any links.
That is my point.
That the KJV "language style" (for lack of a better term) was not used at that time outside stuffy shirt meetings.
When you quoted me, you posted the links already posted to you.
Matthew, Mark, Luke Vs the Gospel of John
Matthew, Mark, Luke Vs the Gospel of John - Second List
Here are the lists separated, so you can see them easier.
No, the point I'm making is the statements are obviously false...they don't mean what they say.Not sure what falsehoods you're referring to. My guess is you feel all prayers should be answered without the approval of the will of God. I've heard people pray for their death or another's death. Thank God Jesus answers prayers according to God's will.
Jesus prayed the cruciifixion would be taken away. It wasn't. There you have it, God does not play favorites,
Never made any claims that I was smarter. I just have a better moral compass. Although, I believe that morality is a subjective thing anyway, so that's not really saying all that much. But I can say that, definitively, God's apparent ideas of morality do not mesh with my own. Whether His version is ultimately "better" in some way or not, I honestly don't care at all. I do what's right according to my own ideals - and I am 100% secure in that position.It must be wonderful to be smarter than God.
And there you have it... God playing favorites. Always has, apparently always will. That's not how I father my children. Never have, never will.
God and I disagree in such fundamental ways that He doesn't support or represent my most basic principles - therefore I do not need His support, nor His representation. From what I have read and been witnessed to He would simply muck it all up anyway.
Given your track record of being just plain flat out wrong...I read them, they are not accurate.
I thought the crucifixion was all part of the plan?

No. Does not follow. You are attempting to equate two things that do not have this 1-to-1 correlation you are trying to strap them with. So you can stop anytime now.Actually you did. If you have a b etter morqal compas tghan God, you think you are smarter than He is.
Yes - because they are mine. Why wouldn't they be? As an example - God tells Abraham to kill his son. How can the right response not be to go tell God to screw himself and all he stands for? That would be my response - and I feel it is better than the response that sees me take a knife to my son's throat. So, in that regard, yes, my version of morality is better from my point of view. Do you expect me not to adhere to my own principles? If so, then I could never believe or follow as you believe and follow.And yours ae better, right?
Well, you have to consider that I don't really believe in God. My statements about God are simply "what ifs". As in "If He exists, then X, Y, Z". But I do not believe he exists at all. So, am I smarter than nothing? I would like to think that I am. But that is very likely an illusion anyway. In the end it doesn't matter.It is very comforting for you that you are smarter than God. Your humility underwhelms me.
Good or you. Glad it is working for you.I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

Unfortunately current gospels were written by humans not by God that why they are incoherent and linguistically poor.
I know differently. Which is what is best for me. And of course I am going to believe it is what's best. Who doesn't believe their own beliefs on a subject are "best"? Would you try to tell me that you don't hold your beliefs to be best? Don't make me laugh.He who claims what he knows is the best is saying he is smarter then those say differently.

There is no stopping it, your going to laugh.Don't make me laugh.
You can't figure out the size of the universe if you never leave the room in your house.
Your missing the point. If you say your ideas are better than someone else, you are saying you are smarter than they are.
and thats true in some cases lol
