Yes. There are good guys in every conflict.

You obviously don’t know the Bible nearly as well as you think you do. I honestly cannot believe you said this! My Bible states in the introduction to Joshua the Conquest of Cana. This is EXACTLY using God as an excuse to steal someone else's territory, and then claim a victory for God when...

That’s not a point. That’s an opinion. A politically correct opinion of many but wrong nonetheless. The crusades were a defensive ear as the book and the data based graph demonstrate.

No problem. 1st, just because a real phenomena is not explicitly mentioned in Scripture does not mean it does not exist. Strep throat, PTSD, the city of Cleveland and quantum physics are not in Scripture, yet exist. 2nd, diaspora Jews who did not even speak Hebrew, the Greek speaking Jews...

Nope …. sorry, you missed the point of Jesus telling his disciples to buy swords. It wasn’t ceremonial. Of course Jesus was advocated violence towards our enemies! What was that incident if flipping over tables and whipping everyone out of there? Another great example of Christ not merely...

This reminds me of an episode from the X-Files. There was a divine child who was being protected by agents of God and hunted by demonic agents. Mulder and Scully did not know who was who. There was a good looking, older man, impeccably dressed and very eloquent and charismatic. He could have...

Well, introducing more variables certainly helps mitigate the inherent drawback of the KJV manuscripts. However, on point of repeated copies or generation loss, I'd say it is a fact of less reliability, not an opinion. Generation loss - Wikipedia

Really? <sigh> So, your thoughts on him commanding the Apostles to sell their coat for a sword was ceremonial? There you go again, denying cultural appropriation. Murderous conquest? The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) The Crusades were a defensive war.

And that someone is specifically replying to your post. I love that feature of this forum. Alerts that someone posted in a thread you are watching and Alerts someone has replied to your post. When I'm short on time, which is almost always, I prioritized responses to my post. Otherwise, I may...

I was going to make a similar point. Getting back to the better source material (not the non-existent perfect source material) the Alexandrian texts have less corruption, less opportunity for corruption and begs the question, on what basis or standard are you claiming they are corrupt at all...

Well that does not really answer my question. I don't think it is that humans flip flop but why. For instance, in the face of being sealed by the Holy Spirit, do you suppose an Atheist ought to continue to deny the existence of a God so he is not accused of flip flopping? It takes humility...

I never noticed that. Is there an example of Christ doing it? It's funny you say this because I started a thread about the Chosen S3, E3, where Jesus read from the book of Isaiah. When he sat down the Nazarene Rabbi asked why he stopped with the verse of the Lord's favor and not continue on to...

Sorry about that. I tried to respond quickly to one point in your post. I didn't think one verse mattered to the overal discussion. I didn't take the time to look at a variety of modern verses. I only looked into one of my favorites. v4 is there in the VOICE translation. I believe it came out...

Isn't that a risk we all take if we are open to new information and coming to different conclusions based on new information?

‘Not necessarily more’ is epistemological ambiguous. Totally applies to the KJV as one of the oldest. Beyond that, since when was ‘necessarily more accurate’ the standard in considering documents closer to the source more reliable?

The inspiration for this is a coworker who observed ‘they’ play all these word games, trying to change the meaning of words. We all know Jesus is known as the word of God, the truth, the light and the way. There are those of us who can readily discern his voice, his words, his truth. In this...

Irrelevant facts to the point of is Judas one of the Twelve.

I am not doubting that Luther was antiemitic. I am doubting your claim that he was directly responsible for the holocaust. From your article: The racialized anti-Jewish Nazi ideology converged with antisemitism that was historically widespread throughout Europe at the time and had deep roots in...

You are just inventing that standard. Where is that in Scripture? Sad that so many reject facts and invent a rejection criteria that is anti-Biblical. My original wife does not change because we later got divorced. From The Twelve Apostles* | ESV.org The Twelve Apostles* Matthew 10:2–4 Mark...

I appreciate your empathizing with a newbie. :) He's asking a question that deserves to be answered. Satan's ideals are not something to live up to. :mad: What's wrong with the people of this world is that they don't have Jesus. What's wrong with the people of this world is NOT "failure to...
