You resort to logical fallacies and dishonest debate tactics to make your points, and the fact that you ACTUALLY believe no one has ever proven you wrong on a point around here only speaks further to your delusions of grandeur. And, there is no such thing as "cultural context" when God himself commanded the culture into being. But, you know where to find that thread. [emoji6]
Are you saying because God does not exist the Jewish people does not exist? Or are you say they are without culture? or are you saying their is no history to said culture???? Because if the Jewish people exist.. and if they have a culture, then despite the importance you place on verifying it's origins, the truth of the matter means, that the Jews have a 'cultural context' from which interpreting their writings must be filtered through for proper and accurate exegesis.
If you 'feel' differently, then Please, explain.. "Prove me wrong/Win this argument."
I actually didn't mean ANY of those things. Obviously I wasn't clear. I'm saying that God is 100% responsible for cultivating Jewish culture, therefore placing god's moral laws into "cultural context" in order to justify them literally makes no sense. That's all I'm saying here because I don't want to derail NV's thread. You know where to find my cultural context thread. Huggy could really use the help, actually. [emoji41]
