I explained that the greek word for nations meant people, especially pagans, and usually not Jews. The bible.org concordance I gave him the link to specfically said the scirpture does not mean governmental body, or ruling powers, only people in general since salvation can only come to people, and not to a government. They showed the greek word for nations meaning peoples of all other creeds [except Jews].<BR/><BR/>any way, its moot.Dromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-40075041516236028222008-10-16T18:15:00.000-04:002008-10-16T18:15:00.000-04:00Fast, I don't remember the title, it had quite a f...Fast,<BR/> I don't remember the title, it had quite a few comments. I was explaining to this clown (who has a picture of an old bald man for his avatar) that a translation he kept using to support his political agenda (which it seems is what they like to do there)has been deemed erroneous by almost every Biblical scholar. I told him he could check the greek translation at Strongs for the proper english word that the KJV had wrong. <BR/><BR/>Next thing you know he claims to be a greek scholar, and repeats back to me what I said verbatim (he cut and paste it from Strongs), as though his wrong perspectiuve and his multiple objections to my pointing out a scriptural disconnect over five posts never even occured!! <BR/><BR/>Naturally I called him disengenuous and intellectually dishonest... because now he took my position as his own. <BR/><BR/>Some other regular (carl something ot other)came to his defense saying i was "out of line and over my head", whatever the fuck that means, since my knowledge of scripture far exceeded anyone else there (which i told him in so many words); and that if supporting dishonesty is the preferred route to supporting learned scholarship that is of course his perogative. <BR/><BR/>An hour later I couldn't post.<BR/><BR/>It seems if you are "flagged" by a regular, as I must have been more than once, they eventually boot you. <BR/><BR/>I am unsurprised, since an atheist with a knowledge of scriture isn't exactly welcome to correct "the faithful" when they want to use scripture to make a point. even if the point is invalid, or the meaning of the scripture erroneously used.Dromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-49469506862399179792008-10-16T17:29:00.000-04:002008-10-16T17:29:00.000-04:00"UPDATE 10/7/08: Evidently pointing out textu..."UPDATE 10/7/08: Evidently pointing out textual criticism of the scripture, & correcting fake use of scriptural verse to support their idealogy is not welcome.
