Came across this in my feed:

Are you not aware what thread you're in?

How am I ignoring anything? I'm just asking you a question. Based on your belief, which you have admitted in this thread: ... that Hebrews is referring to people like yourself in Hebrews 10:16-17, and because you also claimed: ... and you clearly do, thus my question to you is: What...

I was asking you a qestion. What "conclusion" are you even talking about? I quoted scripture, to support my question, and you ignored it. can you please answer the question I asked? What tribe are you from? I ask because you think that you are under the New Covenant, which Hebrews states...

So, since you believe that Hebrews was written to you, and that you are under the New Covenant.... what tribe are you from? Or were you not aware that the New Covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah? For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would...

Are you sure?

So Jesus is the one who is, and who was, and who is to come?

Guarantee you that he isn't ignoring it at all... And neither do I. We (Steko and I) agree that in the Body there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. So, with that in mind, to whom is the "them/their" referring?

That "very large company of devout and learned men" was full of men who were, just like you and me, just as fallible as everyone else. This is why your argument is fallacious, because men can be wrong about things, even men in positions of authority. This is one such case where those men were...

Someone doesn't know what "begging the question" means. Scripture shows this to be true. Saying it doesn't make it so. And so God can't use that to accomplish His purposes? Or do you reject the idea that God can use the actions of wicked men for good, as He did with Joseph and his...

Correct. Correct. None of which are significant enough to change the overarching story of the Bible. No, it means that I believe that the original manuscripts have been copied hundreds of times over the course of 3500 years in order to preserve them, and that, because men are fallible...

It doesn't matter how many people claim it was written by Paul. If the evidence doesn't support it, and such a position goes against what the Bible teaches, then the belief is false, no matter who those people are who believe Paul wrote Hebrews. Saying it doesn't make it so. An appeal to...

Translation: I can't defend my beliefs and so I'm going to straw-man my opponent and not even try to defend my beliefs.

Uh, no, it's not.

Also, you didn't answer my questions. Please answer the questions I asked: Was it wrong for the US army in World War 2 to use inflatable tanks, sound effects, and radio trickery to fool the Nazis? Was it evil? Was it wrong for God to trick the enemy army at Ai into an ambush? Was it evil?

Again, there is an entire thread on the topic of lying.

This is called begging the question. It's a logical fallacy for a reason. It's also not what I said. I said that God will manipulate Satan into defeat. He tells us as much in Revelation. Do you deny that God will bring about His own victory in the end?

I would argue that God is better at manipulation than the devil is, because He will manipulate him into defeat. God is definitely a better chess player than the devil. Lying and deception are not quite the same thing. You're equivocating. On this and on manipulation. You're talking about...

Manipulation != temptation

Or your understanding of what scripture says is in error...
