What Does It Actually Mean?

[Soundbear]

Wow, what an irrational, bizarre thing that was. It has nothing to do with any part of the conversation, other than to try and deflect attention away from the main points, which you are solidly pinned under.

Sorry, not going to play. I will let others judge your statement, rather than respond to such nonsense. And you even added smiley faces... wow, there's some serious issues brewing somewhere.

Sorry you have no sense of humor.

Solidly pinned by someone who doesn't know what OT means.

Right.

Sorry, I'm not playing with someone who know nothing about the bible, obvious from your assumptions.

Have a nice day/

Sorry you think that wife beating is a source for giggles. And I'm supposed to concern myself with what you think of my Bible knowledge, after a comment like that? No, don't think so.

In hindsight, it's actually kind of funny how certain Christians will cherry-pick pieces of the Bible, and claim that for technical reasons, some parts still apply, some don't. The entire thing is supposed to be the factual, unerring, direct word of God, but for some reason, some people think they can pick and choose what 'matters'.

The entire Old Testament is the story of the Jews. It starts from the first man, Adam, who was hand-crafted by God Himself, and follows every generation of Jew, right up until the time of Christ.

Between the time of Adam and Noah, the ten tribes of Israel were established. But wouldn't you know it, according to experts on here, they weren't actually Jews? Noah had a Covenant with God, and was in God's Grace, but he wasn't a 'Jew' either!

A number of Old Testament books were written by this period, referred to as the 'minor prophets'. But you know what, they weren't 'Jews' either!

According to these 'experts', there weren't any 'real Jews' until Abraham. So in other words, God built and kicked off the development of His 'chosen people', but used a non-Jewish off-brand, up until Abraham. Imagine that!

What an utter load of nonsense! The book is about the Jews! It is their Bible! It chronicles their history, from God's creation of man, all through the ages. The Hebrew word for man is, guess what.... Adam!

It is this kind of goofiness that causes some Christians to ignore the entire Old Testament, as... the 'Old' Testament. Only the New and improved one actually counts. Must be nice to just pick and choose what part of history you would like to jump in on, huh?

So, when you see religious types, trying to cut regular people down with their so-called 'knowledge' of Biblical matters, just bear in mind that they are well practiced in playing this cherry-picking game, in order to try to discredit challengers of their beliefs.

If you want to know the truth, just ask yourself one simple question: why would millions of Jews carry around a book that includes Adam for thousands of years, if Adam wasn't really one of them? If Adam and Noah, and all the books written by the 'Jews' during that period weren't actually written by Jews, why not ditch them, and lighten the load?

The answer should be simple, at least for those of us who haven't scrambled our brains in Bible study classes designed to teach people how to turn other people's religious texts into Origami.

Figures that my little joke at your debating style would go right over your head.

Ya wanna use that as an excuse to bail, go ahead.

And bail you should, as what you speak of about the bible is out to lunch.

I am still trying to figure out what was supposed to be funny in that post.

I was actually quite shocked, I did not know what you where trying to get at.

Rhetorical question. it cannot be answered in a positive way

Honestly, I don't know the answer so it is not rhetorical.

I was trying to put it into context?

That's because it's not a history book; it's science fiction.

Can you name a sci-fi book that has been accurately used by archeologists as a source for exploration??

Sorry, Blunt, now you're just being silly.

I keep forgetting that, being older, I have heard and read many things that you've never run across.

You totally miss the content and purpose of the statement, and then go and post a thread about some idiot who doesn't understand much either.

Let it go.

[Soundbear]

I can name one that has been used by archeologists and found inaccurate...

You need to point out the inaccuracy specified in that article. I can't see it.

An inaccuracy would be an archeological find that clearly contradicted the bible.

Oh and by the way, make sure it's a contradiction, not a trumped up, or as your article says, "sensationalized" difference.

[Soundbear]

Wow, you went awfully quiet, awfully fast.

Hold the BS, dull, a guy has to eat, babysit, visit etc.

[Soundbear]

Wow, you went awfully quiet, awfully fast.

You wish, eh?? Bet you also wish you had some hard facts to give as contradictions. Why am I not seeing any??

[Roll The Bones]

do you know what this will do to western society?

Uh......nothing.

[Anapeg]

Did God cause the Big Flood? Yes.

Do those who deny Christ is God face eternal damnation? Yes.


Now YOU can answer.

Did the flood affect the Jews?

Did the OT Jews who knew God deny Christ?

One has to expect if Jews where out and about then yup, the flood affected them and likely badly. Does Jewish faith by definition not deny that which you worship?

Try anything that has been carbon dated to millions of years ago, .... you know, back when the earth was just a dream of someone, ....

They weren't, so it didn't. Abraham was the first Jew, well after the flood.

Jews today either deny Christ or are Christians (sometimes called Messianic Jews). Old Testamant Jews never heard of Him, and worshipped One God.

Carbon dating and the age of the earth aren't archeological problems, or part of this discussion.
