Agreed. Wait unti the screw turns.

What does race have to do with a Supreme Court decision against the evil gay agenda of the OP?

I also recommend wholesome family shows of the past Brady Bunch Andy Griffith Show Leave it To Beaver Father Know's Best

Yes.

Logic more than textual criticism. Well, most people identify it as God's book because it contains the words of YHWH. Prophets speak and write God's word, by definition. Consider Isaiah 45, Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus ... No one values the works of the prophets because they...

Twilight Zone and X-Files are also recommended for the same reason as Star Trek. In one episode of the new Twilight Zone, a professor struggled for months to solve a math problem, exclaiming, "I'd give my soul for the answer." Suddenly, the devil appeared stating the answer. Satan smugly said...

I always recommend Star Trek because most shows present a moral dilemma. For instance, one episode of Enterprise, the doctor was taken hostaged by Klingons. His option: let his patient die or allow the anti-bodies that saved him to be used to make a super-race of Klingons. This episode explains...

Sure, disagree but what are the reasons and facts supporting taking out YHWH's name 7,000 times from Scripture? Regarding it being his book or man's book, that brings us back to agency.

At least YHWH is a proper noun. So, there should be no substitute. IMO, replacing YHWH is worse than sloppy. Imagine writing a book, where your name is removed 7,000 times? No author would be happy with having their name removed from their book.

Mainly because 'el' and 'elohim' are not English words AND there is no (single) word for word transliteration. Consider the one thing you put on bread to make a sandwich that consists of the 3 words: butter, nut and pea. I believe you pointed out the fallacy of putting too much importance on...

Also in the use of definite articles. With 3 dozens lords or gods running around Scripture, we can get confused who is being referred to when we say "the" lord or god said such and such. Context is needed but does not push aside the pattern of certain generic terms that Christendom hold as...

Not knowing who this denomination is, what their actual argument is and knowing that Proverbs 8 is about wisdom not Creation by Elohim, I cannot answer your question. I will say that you, more than most, acknoledge YHWH's council, other heavenly beings playing a roll in YHWH's plan. In the...

I agree YHWH alone is the Creator but deny he said he did it by himself. What verse says that?

Me too. The HOW is above our pay grade.

No. I am not speculating on ambiquity. You are in denial of agency. Who spoke to Moses in the burning bush? YHWH or angels. Who destroyed Sodom and Gomorah? YHWH or angels? The text says both. Elohom created, which does not mean one or the other.

Again, no one is disputing that. The question is about agency. Did YHWH create other elohim's to carry out his plans of Creation? The text is ambiguous. Don't contradict yourself in acknowledge elohim has multiple meanings but only means YWHW in a certain instance. The ambiguity of HOW remains...

No, esteem is not like communication requiring back and forth. My point was that one can esteem themselves and others. It is not a zero sum game. For instance, I am proud that the tennis plater I rooted for made it to the finals at Wimbledon. I'm also proud of myself for spending time with my...

You are taking Elohim to only be referring to YHWH in creating when the text does not support that. It is you who is speculating. I admit the text is ambiguous as it uses the term elohim created rather than YHWH created.

To what end be a witness to subsequent creation after their own? I mean, their existence is witness, isn't it?

Welcome to the forums! I love your provocative OP. Need to ponder your question.
