And if you cannot read the "bible" in the original and form an opinion about the manuscript traditions in that "book" then how can you believe
it.
or as they say, "Don't automatically believe everything you cannot read!"
'Nuff said.
If you are one of those pathetic American-English-only speaking fundamentalists who cannot read the Bible (but "believe every word" !) and who
didn't even know R. Yehoshua bar Yosef was even a jewish Rabbi executed for armed sedition against Rome, then maybe you better go back to school and
start over...
There's a bigger world out there, my friend. I suggest you get out a little more.
Just a thought, is all.
My, My, How do you ever find a hat to fit your head?
You may think that all your education makes you someone worthy of an
ignorant Christian's attention but...as Paul says... "For although they
knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking (dialogue, gk-dialogismos) became empty and their foolish
hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise (by their philosophies, gk-sophos), they became fools..."
You see, God never chose everyone. If one doesn't have the receiver then God's wisdom cannot be transmitted. Some say God wants everyone, they
quote, "whosoever will may come", but it is God who acts on the willer.
Eph 1:4 Eklegomai- chose out from among those not chosen, by speaking, for Himself.
Yes there is a big world out there but it is very, very, limited!! The understanding of humanity is just a drop in the ocean compared to the knowledge
we'll have when..'we awake in His image.' You see, you cannot even come close to teaching me anything about God or His Son, you are not a Domita of
God's word.
