That's pretty funny right there! Code talkers don't get convicted of perjury. :gd <sigh> Analogies and metaphors don't work when you know your audience is taking it literally AND you keep double down on the deception. I use analogies and metaphors all the time in referencing pop culture, like...

Odd for you to ask this question after asking who said I have to like it. Also, my preference is not my attitude. I am allowed to like certain things and not like other things. There is no requirement change component.

Are you saying the ends justify the means?

There you go again, falling back to deconstruction. The WHY of the matter is not the issue. The WHAT of the matter is. Deception. Words have meaning and ideas have consequences. Using words his audience takes to refer to Solomon’s temple - and knowing his audience takes it that way - is not the...

Did I ask questions in the OP? I'm just stating my preference. Why is that scary ground?

LOL. Why are you using quotes? To pretend the lie is not a lie. Your lie (to yourself) is to deny Jesus most certainly did speak about bread. He also repeatedly spoke about sleep, an action by the living. I know there is a deep seated need to dismiss these lies as metaphors. We can reject that...

Ever read 1 Kings 22:20-23? Circular Reasoning, aka, the sacred cow.

I've addressed elsewhere in this thread the distinction between someone who lied from being a liar. What do you call someone who says something other than "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Talking about inapplicable bread, sleeping, temples is straight up deceptive...

Not this thread. :rolleyes:

No one. Thanks for making that point. I'm just saying publicly that I don't like certain things about how Jesus communicated at times.

As I see it, the sacred cow is glossed over in predictable ways. Like changing the subject. It is not "vague" it is lying, using words to mean something the words don't mean, leading to frustration of the audience as well as the speaker. The very definition of poor and deceptive communication...

Agreed. "Teaching" so that not all people will understand it is foolish nonsense.

Vid showcasing feminists refusal to take responsibility for their choices.

Jesus did lie by omission in not answering if he was the Christ. And he lied by calling one thing another thing. Bread, sleep, temple. I don’t like this. Scripture says the Spirit gives us a spirit to be bold. Start by calling things what they are: deceptive religious leaders, a dead girl and...

Huh? A lie is only a lie if there is an obligation under authority to report? Does this mean: Those in authority have no obligation to speak the truth, including not lying by omission? Therefore, the word ‘lie’ does not apply to those in authority? In all my life, I’ve never heard such a...

False. This thread is why I would not like Jesus. I’m allowed to have preferences. There is something about what he says that I do not like. And I explained it very carefully. It is NOT about me not understanding. It is about his word deceptive choice that I don’t like. I understand he uses...

You’re in denial. The curse of Original Sin was being spelled out and this curse applies to all their descendants. People acknowledge the labor curse but often over look this curse of the woman having a desire to control the man.

Not really answers to my questions.

Accuse? He was such a bad teacher that at John 6:66 he asked if he was so deceptive and offensive about what he was saying that he was going to lose his disciples. The very idea that him being a bad teacher at these points is an accusation is ridiculous. I guess we have different understandings...

A gratuitious insult. That's my point! His lying, his lack of clear commnication was so bad, that even he got frustrated people could not see through the fog of deception - that he wove! Appeal to Diversion. The difficulty of the concept is not the issue. The issue is he's speaking with a...
