It's a matter of semantics. You used the words "not inaccurate," I believe. Accuracy is not applicable to the number 613 (which is widely disputed) in the discussion regarding the total number of commands in the Torah or in the OT. This is a fact. I can't help that.

Agreed. If it actually represented an average, but it doesn't, which makes it the opposite of accurate: Inaccurate. But if you only think so, I guess it's ok. :D

It doesn't seem to explain much; it just claims. If you want to see exactly how media is destroying spirituality, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNomdEoen2NU3QS5OCJFhSclfNDTv4d6x

They can't even agree on what's what in the Torah.

It's highly disputed, but it isn't 613. 613 is the number contained in the Mitzvot, but rabbinical authorities can't even agree on what constitutes a commandment. The situation is a lot like that of Christendom today. No one can agree on more than a few dozen verses in the New Testament.

That's pretty sick. And the 613 figure has been thoroughly debunked.

I didn't see that. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have said anything. :)

That doesn't seem very nice. :)

You have last-word-itis so bad you'll say any ridiculous thing.

Think what you like. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20) Romans 1 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of...

Edit your post all you like. I don't answer questions calculated to ensnare. There are no strings on me.

I'm really not interested in trading insults. The way you're representing my words is nonsensical. If you'd read back over our exchange carefully you'd see that. This will end my part of the discussion. May God bless you.

Nonsensical

No, thank you.

Very thoughtful of you. I hate to rebut covenant theologies over and over. I feel like I'm harping and being argumentative. My position is simple enough, though. I don't believe the various covenants are of the same weight as the covenant with Israel (The Christian church is Israel--Romans...

I was Free Will. Staunch Calvinism is confusing to me. It makes God a subject to his own creation of time, which is just ridiculous. I believe, as you do, that we are saved from our sins, not in them. I believe it might be very difficult to avoid all sins of omission, although I believe that God...

I've never heard of you. I've been an Adventist for 30 years. Maybe I'm not enough of a "big shot." One thing is clear. You are your own biggest fan. How am I supposed to know to fear you or dispose of your literature or chase you off if I've never heard of you?

The Bible gives no command for all believers to "study" "cults." And it seems that, when determining what Adventists teach and believe, anything and anyone is consulted, except Seventh-day Adventists themselves. William Johnsson was a fine magazine editor and author, but he is no debater and...

What does this mean and why does spelling "legitimate" in uppercase help the communication of the idea?

I don't know how to say it any plainer. The fact that some people made some clerical errors 100 or 1500 years ago in no way makes me doubt that God has failed to preserve His word to sufficiently do His will. All the technical mumbo jumbo in the world notwithstanding. I'm grateful for the...
