Not really sure what you are saying. I'd say the greatest deception is that God does not exist. And the 2nd greatest deception is to be convinced Jesus is not the son of God, the prophesized Messiah, who came to save the world. Perhaps the 3rd greatest deception of Satan is to convince people he...

LOL. My point is obvious. You are criticizing a denomination for changing their mind on some things. I'm proposing that characteristic in a favorable light. God himself changed his mind. There was a time he was going to wipe out the Nation of Israel. Moses changed his mind. Any criticism you...

JW aren’t big into accepting modern day miracles, are they?

I’ve listened. Notice how this verse does not even refer to Jesus? You keep invoking codes and riddles in violation of Scripture. I’ll ask you again, does it make sense that God has a God?

BS. There are Christian nations. Fact. This is true even if they don’t always follow Christ’s command as you put it. Saying so as an Appeal to Strawman. Christ only issued individual commands, not edicts on foreign policy (which includes war). Is my patriotism getting in the way? When it...

Again, read the Conquest of Cana in Joshua. Fact is, you can have God's sanction to fight a war over land that you stole from someone else

Wrong. Totally wrong. Invading numerous nations who never attacked you is not defensive. It’s certainly less defensive than the Crusades.

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...
