Theists, some questions

[catfish]

Ezekiel 22:28 (KJV)
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.

Jeremiah 8:8 (NIV)
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

I am not lying when I say I find those quotes interesting, even engaging, but we do quote different types of phrases. For instance, your quotes are of a philosophical level, not being imperative, but rather questioning. And my quote for instance (the quote from the NT) is rather declarative, even imperative. When demands are at the head, interpretation is less of a factor, "so just do it".

I had to re-read your quote beside SoC's original to determine what you were talking about. I assume you mean your Luke passage.

So, here are some from the NT then?

2 Timothy 4:3-5
New International Version (NIV)

3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.


2 Peter 2:1-3
New International Version (NIV)

False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Oddly enough, immediately following the preceding verse you can find Tartarus interpretted to "hell". Damned Greek myths...
