I found that percentage suspect as well.

Ummm … by your argument, the Latin Vulgate is even better: older (c. AD 300’s) , used longer (1700 years), read and used frequently by Bible Scholars of every denomination.

1. I clearly said this: And you responded with this: 2. I think it is time to stop suffering your folly and ignore your rude self.

Sheol is “the grave” … not the simple hole in the ground that we place a body in, the holding place of the dead. Either Paradise (Abraham’s Bosom) or Gehenna (a place of fiery torment and God’s curse); those are the two parts of Sheol. This is the OT afterlife. We see it illustrated CLERLY by...

That is EXACTLY what Jesus called the Pharisees to task for … “Who is my neighbor?” The fault lies in the “traditions of men” added to the Laws of God and not in the Laws of God themselves.

You seem to have implied that non-Jews were exempt. I misunderstood. Now I merely have no idea what point you were making about the law only applying to the Jews. US laws only apply in the US. That’s just how laws work.

That’s on you. 75% of my post was about Moses and the Law and 25% was a comment about Revelation … your response was too vague and gave no clue that you were only talking about the “1000 year reign of Christ” in Revelation, so I applied your comment to Moses and the Law. With respect to...

I am not an expert on the nuances of the Levitical Law, but I think that it applied to anyone living in the country. The first act when they entered the Promised Land was to KILL or ENSLAVE everyone living there. [God actually ordered all the inhabitants killed or driven out.]

I was getting back to the subject of the OP with humor. You and he disagreed. The conflict was attributed to "sinister intent" (which may or may not be true, I suck at reading minds). The intensity of your religious disagreement encourages people to take "drastic actions" to eliminate the...

"You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity." - "devil theory" fallacy by Doc (Logic of Empire, Robert A. Heinlein) :)

Only if you define "BEST" as "most formal translation". What is inferior about "dynamic equivalence"? Is it BAD to know what they MEANT instead of what they SAID? [idioms].

So it is the Eastern Orthodox Church and not the Bishop of Rome that broke fellowship with the other Apostles!

No, it is not. Mary is a sinner Christ is a sinner See, the words are different!

If there is a post #119, then there must be a post #104. ;) Here is post #104 on my screen: and here is post #92:

... and now you see why they stoned people! :)

I have to point out that his signature "I’m not a calvinist by choice." can be interpreted two ways and may be humor. "God made him believe in Calvinism, he had to choice on the matter." "He CHOSE to not be a Calvinist - proving Arminian free will" - [which would be a clever double meaning pun...

For the record, a "false convert" is "unsaved" or "a sinner". In that case, you have rejected Christ as "Lord and Savior" ... "But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that...

Under "Faith:" you selected "Christian" and that is displayed with your name and picture.

[John 3:16-21 ESV] "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is...

What are you talking about? GOD gave them the penalty, Moses didn't make it up. So what IS an appropriate penalty for willing apostasy when living in a THEOCRACY under the direct rule of God? You might want to avoid the part of Revelations where Jesus deals with the people that revolt after...
