Says the guy who quotes Leviticus 13 when he was originally referring to Leviticus 14...
Quote: I don't think "spiritual uncleanliness manifests itself in the form of "leprous sores" now does it?
I never said that it did, I merely said that the practice in Leviticus 14 is a spiritual cleansing practice, which it is.
Quote: Besides, in practical terms the priest is deciding if the man can com back from the exclusion of a leper colony or similar. Reading the whole story doesn't not lead one to believe the problem is a man's sin that caused him to be punished by leprosy does it? No, it appears to be a priest judging the man's health and trying to help him. Furthermore, it is obvious that the priests incorrectly thought that the leprosy was brought about by fungus or mold, hence their house cleaning instructions. Apologists have avoided this by separating the story mid-stream, which makes both of the non-nonsensical. FYI, leprosy is a bacterial infection and has nothing to do with anything spiritual. We know that today, in the third century or so bc, when the story was made up, they didn't know that.
Why are you now referring to the diagnosis and quarantining of leprosy in Leviticus 13 when originally you were referring to the ceremonial cleansing of leprosy in Leviticus 14? You’re intentionally trying to confound the two practices. The ceremonial cleansing involving the birds in Leviticus 14 is a Messianic foreshadowing ceremony. The Israelites practiced these ceremonies routinely and were well aware that they did not achieve physical cleansing, but were an exercising of faith in the coming Messiah’s work. This is very basic theology sir. All that I ask is that before you attack my faith, at least exhibit the intellectual honesty to possess a working knowledge of it. I’ll do the same for you.

Quote: In verse 15, the bible says this:
17 And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. So does this mean the garment has sinned and it needs "Spiritual Cleansing" as well?
Again, you’re now pulling verses out of Leviticus 13 when you were originally referring to Leviticus 14.

OK, that sounded harsh. You might
just be that deluded.
How do you think personally attacking someone rather than addressing their points reflects upon you as a debater?
