The "Cultural Context" Excuse

[Huggy Bear]

So quick to pat yourself on the back...

If you bother scrolling up you'd see my response was just above your last post.

Sorry, I didn't consider this to be any kind of response:


"What part is supposedly speaking of abortion? You know you can actually post the relevant scripture..."


So basically you demand the book/chapter/verse of where the Bible discusses abortion, and then you ignore the passages I present.  Or maybe you're going blind from excessive masturbation.  Here, I'll post it in large font:


When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.

See Numbers 5:11-31 for context.

Numbers 5
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

What did I tell you guys about the NIV? You do realize that it subtracts whole scriptures, and adds words that are not found in the KJV, which is translated directly from Hebrew and Greek.

Just do a google search of NIV mistranslations

The New International Version of the Bible, or NIV, was first published in 1978. Since then, it has become one of the most popular English Bible translations, and almost certainly the most popular one among Evangelical Christians. It is also one of the worst translations for anyone who is seriously interested in what the Bible says.

So you deliberately take the scripture out of context?

here is the full context.



Strange but true: Twins can have different fathers

also

It doesn't get much clearer than that.

Biblical exegesis courtesy of Stretch Fucking Armstrong! So you take the word "later" and deduce it must mean Cain and Abel are twins?

I never said they were twins at all, I just showed where a woman can be impregnated by two different men. Adam clearly made love to his wife one time and Cain is born, and somehow mysteriously a second child appears later as you so eloquently put it, use your brain.

And then you cite a New Testament book as evidence of your nutty snake-daddy reading of Genesis? There just aren't enough face palms in the world for this.

Last time I looked, the Bible includes both the old and new testaments... strange how you approve of cherry picking when it suits you.

Don't be ungenerous, vorlon. They cherry pick because of -- what's that learned word? -- exejesus . . . exegenesis . . . exegesis . . . something like that. Remember, it's not intellectually dishonest if there's some sort of Greek-based word for it. They're scholars! Just ask them.

Conservatives cherry pick the Reagan years like fundamentalists cherry pick the Bible.
