The Old Testament is evil.

Then......the 'New Testament' is somehow created. The evil 'God' is ...[text shortened]... ken place in the Old Testament. And.....they sound more deranged than the actual stories given.

You err in the exact same way that Zahlanzi errs.

Are you two brothers?

Actually, I think sonship ~ for example ~ has "defended" [or perhaps shall we say explained] slavery during the OT era in a way that, while I am still not convinced by it, certainly was not "deranged" and was laid out thoughtfully.

Thankyou FMF, for acknowledging an effort to explain biblical slavery was made. For slavery in the Bible I recommend Dr. Paul Capon

Did God Sanction Slavery in the Old Testament ?

Excellent question and answer toward the end of the lecture.

wow anyone who reads the Greek portion of Scripture and fails to understand how it relates to the Hebrew portion understands neither.

Do you really speak Greek, or did you just once eat an olive?

I do not speak Greek, I can read Koine Greek, very slowly and need to look at lot of the words up. I use an interlinear Bible which has a verse by verse Greek/english text so that the meaning becomes apparent. Yes I also eat olives.

I don't care what you say FMF, you are a bad troll, who tries to derail any thread.

My point and OP is valid. There seems to be nothing about the holy bible, that is in fact holy.

Are you going to troll? Or, will you contribute something valid? You were once a Christian, and now are not. Surely, if you believed in the bible, you would still be a Christian.

Don't be a troll FMF, please give something valid.

If the OT was all we had we would not be Christians.

It is his example and teachings that make us Christians.

Katherine trapezed into a billabong to learn mathematically disastrous graphs.

How does that relate to the OT?

no silly

kathedra is a chair, as in a bishops seat from which we get Cathedral.
trapedza is a table but probably not trapezium shaped
Biblion is of course a book, from which we get Bible
mathetes is a student, the word now having been monopolised by mathematicians
didaskolos is a teacher from which we get didactic
grapho is writing from which we of course derive graph

If you add a few others cheir (hand), kalamos (pen), dexia cheir (right hand), aristera cheir (left hand) dyspepsia (indigestion) you get a set of words which contain all the letters of the Greek alphabet. You see its not very difficult and is probably on a par with learning something like Spanish which is way easier than French. Es importante para mi! 😀

Splendid. When are you planning on learning common sense?

Have been struggling with Japanese for a number of years. Would have difficulty debating the meaning of life with a native, but could quite confidently ask where the penguins were at a zoo.

I hope thinking about all that is an incentive to do what is right in God's sight and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
