Well I'm sure glad that God doesn't believe that. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17 KJV)

Mennonites know how fuel injectors work. So do the Amish. I have a goodly number of friends in both sects. (You?)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth...

So what's a meta for? (Typically an attempt to clarify an idea that often just creates more confusion.) "Let's hit the road" would be an idiom, though, not a metaphor. But by his own choosing, no? I thought it was descriptive of circumcision, although it's used more so for "shunning." Then...

From what I know of Hebrew, a more accurate rendition would be, "dying thou doest die." and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it—dying thou dost die.' (Genesis 2:17 YLT) For in the day of thine eating of it - thou startest to...

That does seem rather confusing, though.

If you start a new thread, (as I see you've been commanded to) let me know.

People hold the Book of Mormon as special to them. And yes, THAT choice can be dismissed as wrong. (Same with the JW New World Testament.)

How can you say you studied manuscripts if you cannot read the language? Do you know how insane that sounds?

The newer "majority" manuscripts were corrupted and changed to conform to the theological views of the Eastern Orthodox Church. But the Eastern Orthodox Church could not destroy manuscripts down in Alexandra Egypt, only the manuscripts that could be found in their own Eastern Empire. That's...

Well that would explain a lot.

So much for your "extensive study."

How much value can we place on the ramblings of someone who does not take the time to educate himself in the FACTS, regardless of his mindless adherence to "God's inspiration of the Bible"? I've already stipulated that the author draws spurious conclusions in his book, but there are FACTS...

I think I explained that. When the Roman Emperor Constantine took over Christianity to solidify the support of the Army, he called (HE CALLED, not the Bishops) for the council of Nicaea to convene in order to find out the particulars of his newly adopted religion. It appalled him that writ...

(It's a Didgeridoo.)

So the chief abbot in charge of copying manuscripts went up to the Bishop of the Monastery one day and said, "Your eminence, we have copied many sets of manuscripts over the past decades, and the thought occurred that I should ask when the original texts kept down in the vault were last...

My response was to his comment on that article, which he did indeed cite. Thanks, (and I posted the link)

Beyond absurd. It would seem that you failed to understand that this was from Ruckman's OWN testimony about himself. Now are you claiming to have graduated from Bob Jones University? (Taken any courses?) And since you brought it up. Just what IS your level of education? Thanks, Rhema

Congratulation, you have passed into the absurd. (All without substantive proof.) I have to applaud your dogmatic embrace of ignorance. God speed.

To an uneducated person, everything is an opinion. But in truth, you don't hold "different views." By definition a "view" must be informed. All I see from your posts is a series of blatant assertions with NO supportive facts whatsoever. Unlike you, I have actually done my homework. Those...
