You may not be a fundamentalist but you are certainly acting like one. You made a mistake because you didn't read the whole post. Be a man (or woman) and admit it. Trying to justify it makes it worse.
Quote:In any case... I'm not here to defend every OT prophecy or would I try, but clan/town/city, at the level of society we're talking about are kinda interchangeable.No it isn't. Clan is not a geographic location but a family group.
Quote:As to the Nazerene, thing I think you should stop reading terrible biblical analysis written by people who think the world was created in six days as your basis for your disagreements with the bible. It is made explicit in John that Nazerenes were looked down on, ""Nazareth!" exclaimed Nathanael. "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" "Come and see for yourself," Philip replied.". All there is to it is that. Though I won't deny the authors of the synoptic gospels were sometimes over-eager to fit the OT prohecies to the story they were telling, what you're citing is a load of proverbial poop made up by Christian Fundamentalists to justify their reading of the bible in modern times.I'm reading YEC stuff? You know what? Shove your fucking deadbeat daddy god who raped his own mother up your ass. In case that wasn't clear enough for you, I want nothing to do with you.
