Well, in your opinion, maybe. In God's eyes, some are chosen, set aside, holy. Some are not. I have singled him (Abraham) out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised.”...

Understood. don’t debate.

Thank you for that. People like Jane Doe either don’t see or believe they benefit from equality. Of course, those below average always do. Socialism always begins with ‘Free Healthcare’ and often ends with the population dumpster diving or over-valuing toilet paper.

No. I’m straightening out and properly connecting a bunch of different topics.

Rights is not a concept that applies to all existents. Right do not pertain to children. Children have entitlements. Your question undermines parental rights in an increasingly totalitarian society, bestowing entitlements mislabeled as rights.

If that were true, you would cite the verse. It is not Scripture but your man-made theology that forbids it.

In another thread I made the statement that in reality, most things are not equal and that (false or artificial or forced) Equality is evil, which is why there is scant reference in the Bible. The Bible emphasizes the importance of the unequal at nearly every turn, i.e., Holy. In the booklet...

Brother means biological brother. It's no assumption. Again, your theology is driving the notion that the plain text certainly cannot mean what it says.

Then you reference a totally unrelated verse. As I said, only those with theological ambitions would read ‘James, the brother of our Lord Jesus’ and conclude it refers to anyone other than who it refers to, Jesus’ brother. What matters to me now is the willingness to abandon logic to support...

Words have meaning. There is no assumption, just logical inference. If have a sister Jennifer and you find out she has a sister Helen, logic can be relied on to connect the dots. If word games are used, then logic is out the window and anything goes. By ‘brother’ I certainly don’t mean...

Thanks for the reference. See above. I have a technical background. So, I tend to struggle with the Bible’s rich figurative language. By the same analysis as you presented above, do you deny Jesus is the son of David, that is descended? To be consistent, both or neither seems to apply. If...

Yes, he would do it. Not the same as someone else ACTUALLY doing it. I would pick my son up at school when sick but someone else actually did it. Besides, this thread is not to deny there are verses that seem to support the trinity but to make the case on the many verses that go AGAINST.

Well, I’m sure you know better than Jesus.

What Bible verses are NOT ‘static statements? And what makes you think. DNB does not follow the Bible properly?

There is nothing hard of heart in pointing out how different things are different. Equality is evil, which is why there is scant reference in the Bible. The Bible emphasizes the importance of the unequal at nearly every turn, i.e., Holy. The greatest inequality is to hold unequal things as...

And there’s nothing wrong with that, like hyper-good stuff. ;-) Revealing how a thread about the Word of God, aka the Bible, applying to putting some people (women) in their place turns into implied criticism of men and the wonderful institution known as the patriarchy. Talk about Appeal to...

See what you did there? You can’t have your cake and it it too. The flip side is what this thread is about; IF Jesus were Divine, there would not be 2 categories of sin. Rather than man-made dogma, I take Jesus at his word, not God, and blaspheming Jesus is consequently in a different...

Well, sort of. There is an original language. There are many manuscripts in this language NT Scripture was written. While there is much agreement, there are also differences. The most obvious is 3 endings to the Gospel of Mark, depending on which manuscript you are translating from. What is...

Sad that trinitarians repeat claims unfounded. Many prophets rebuked people for the exact same thing. Doesn’t mean these other prophets were any more divine than Jesus. That you lead with such s specious and circumspect verse tells the story of what you are pushing. Then there is the...

You are ignoring the basic question; does the Bible indicate a husband has authority over his wife? Yes or No. Was Paul Right About Women In Church? Yes or No.
