The year of whose lord?

[Cinjin]

I read Drich's copy and paste:


You'd think your almighty, all knowing, perfect god could keep his authors from confusing the shit out of everyone and leave absolutely no room for theories, conjecture and the inevitable (and painfully obvious) contradictions.

It's the same ole same ole from you and your kind: "This is what god really meant, and all you need to do is trust me that THIS particular interpretation is the one true explanation." "Oh and uh, an extensive knowledge of ancient Hebrew and Greek, a library of ancient manuscripts, a Doctorate in Theology and a healthy dose of 'creative phrasing' is also very helpful in understanding what god REALLY meant."

There is no confusion for one willing to do just the tinest bit of research. It took me all of 2 mins to put that post together. The problem lies when one put all of his eggs into the english translation and ignores the fact that everything that is being discussed happened in a different time, culture and language. so yeah there are going to be some areas where things get lost in translation. It seems every other area of the world understands this except english speaking countries. This should be a bit of a wake up call in the the world, more over God does not revolve around you or what you think you understand. We have been commanded to seek God. looking past the english is apart of that 'seeking' process.

That's awesome. YOU have the internet and someone else's research and yet have the audacity to proclaim, "Hey it only took me 2 minutes to do the tiniest bit of research." Screw all those people who don't have the internet and someone else's extensive research. How obtuse can you possibly be??? If you wanted to know what god meant prior to 1993 and you didn't have access to a library of Hebrew and Greek and/or you simply weren't willing to take a fundy researcher's word for granted, you were screwed. Which equals BILLIONS of people. Your god's more impotent and pathetic than fat Elvis.

God: "Hey I want them to seek me ... and I'm going to make it a brutal son of a bitch to do just that."
