Inasmuch as the majority posting to this group are no longer xian, are
you saying xians don't know the bibles? You know, the Hebrew one, &
the Greek Testaments.

James 2:9
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted
by the law as transgressors.

James, the one Martin Luther said should never have been included? The
one who supposedly is the brother [AKA James the Just] of the missing
xian version of the messiah of Judaism? That one?

Acts 10:28
And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a
man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and
yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

Acts 10:34-35
Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that
God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who
fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.


The so called apostle Luke, who was the claimed secretary of Saul?
That one? Sounds like propaganda to me. Or else a specific audience
was in mind. Which makes it propaganda. Or are you thinking of this
secretary?

Acts 17:26
and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the
face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the
boundaries of their habitation,

Obviously an error. You see, he had to go find a sucker to follow him.
& he had to bribe that sucker with a name that lasted forever, along
with material wealth. & a wife that was a sister pretending to be a
half sister? That one, called Abraham.

Romans 10:12-13
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord
is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for
"WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Romans? Really, you want anyone to take Romans seriously, you need to
provide historical support for the author. Not for the effect, the
author. Seems your bubba & saul have the same problem.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:11
a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew,
circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and
freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

Yup, propaganda. That military training wasn't a total waste of time.


1 John 2:11
But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the
darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness
has blinded his eyes.

If your brother has done something hateful, why would you not hate him?
Or your momma, daddy or sis come to that.

Really, before you say read the bible, make sure you have read all of
it, like the following. & then learn what it says, not what your
fearful leaders say.

may not be able to help you, but it helps many understand what the
proper usage of a word is. Unlike a dictionary, it is concerned with
the origins of words, not how people have decided to abuse them.

KJV

9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation,
when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land
of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way
of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they
that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light
shined.
9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they
joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice
when they divide the spoil.
9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his
shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and
garments rolled in blood but this shall be with burning and fuel of
fire.
9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God ,The everlasting Father,The
Prince of Peace.
9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end ,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for
ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
9:8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.


Tanakh

Isaiah
Chapter 9
9:1 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they
that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light
shined.
9:2 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast increased their joy;

government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called
Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;

upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to
uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts doth perform this.
9:7 The L-rd sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

Which in spite of xians special pleading, is not a prediction for their
bubba, but then, you won't know that.

walksalone who has to smile when bleaters pretend to know their bible,
& Greek Testament. All they can do is say, but it means this, not what
it says.

Praying is like a rocking chair-it'll give you something
to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
