This is what happens when I present complete intact concepts without any ground work that supports the final conclusion. That is why I spend so much time focused on definitions, and trying to bring basic concepts to light. Subsequently this is also the reason conversations stop and you reach for the troll label every time we can not push past basic comprehension.
(Why you do not think I do not understand or can communicate what it is i believe)
Here is your missing ground work: 1st century Israel was under the rule of Rome in the time of Christ (and for several hundred years after.) The written language of Rome was Koine Greek. The original manuscripts that the bible were compiled from were written in Koine Greek. It wasn't till the 3rd or 4th century that they were translated into Latin (So the church leadership could "interpret" in secret scripture in away conducive to their doctrine. Because no one outside of the 'church' could read or write that dead language.) That means if we are using the original Greek to interpret scripture. then none of the changes the Ralphie suggested are possible. Why? Because the texts were completed before any of the suggested changes were made.
Not sure if trolling or stupid.....
Sarcasm Drich, google it. The rest of your post is the same tired shit you've been pushing and failing at, and it has nothing to do with any lack of knowledge on my part, but presumptions on your own. You want to lecture somebody on the origins of the bible and the beliefs expressed therein do you? Would the conversation stop dead in it's tracks as soon as someone invoked all of the fun places the biblical narrative and its varied spiritual beliefs most likely came from? I'm betting money that it would. Nostly because it has nothing to do with your christ, or your god, and that's where you draw the line. That place where origins and fairy tales meet is as far as you can take me Drich. I've already been there, and I decided to go a little ways further down the road.
