Have you ever compared texts? Thought about the differences
Seems a casual attitude to take towards the Word of God. Especially the notion that the authority of a biblical text stems from its copyright.
"Teacher, how come these Ten Commandments aren't the same as the ones I learn about in church?"
I could care less about this. Kids should never be forced to read it. But when kids are being taught this. Or see this. Then witness our leaders or family members doing differently. They will get bitter. And ignore it.
ooh. Good question. I guess I see so much dispute, even within myself, about what is likely real and whats likely projected onto reality to satisfy personal preference, or about whats real and whats assumed based on our constricted pov. A philosophical bent is just an ongoing noticing of that conflict.
That is why I study Hebrew.
I don't take it casually; and I didn't say that the authority stems from a copyright; nor do I recognize the authority of an errant translator. I take it as a matter of fact. That is why I study Hebrew.
Call no man teacher; for one is your teacher. The ones in your church are most likely not exactly the same as the ones written in Ancient Hebrew; and even the manuscripts kept by the Zadokites contained variants. They are more likely a translation, based on the doctrine of your church.
My point is that the information has already been posted here. Your "skeptical" act is not compelling.
That the sourcing of the 10 command given by the Louisiana law is evident and has been clearly presented to you. The answer is available to you if you actual pay attention to what was written.
No, that wasn't the right word. You have exhibited no desire to obtain information or knowledge on this topic, only to assert your opinion without evidence. I see nothing but pretense to inquiry as evidenced by post #278 where you seem to deliberately equate the answer to he question "which version of the 10 com.?" (the Frat. Order of Eagles) as if the F.O.E. was some sort of bible.
I think our point is that nobody knows what, if anything, you're trying to defend at this point, so your recent posts just read as random smoke bombs that no one is really obliged to address.
A distinction without a difference. Talking about freedom to express beliefs is meaningless for things which don't have beliefs in the first place.
I do pay attention to what is written. Now if you've been paying attention; maybe you can answer how the the Ancient Hebrew compares to "every other" English translation. I think that it would be wise to let the person who dug this bunny hole to answer that question.
It's a collective point now? Looks like speculation on your part.
Nobody is comparing ancient Hebrew to "every other" English translation, There are various English translations regarded as more or less authoritative by the various Christian denominations and these different slightly in their wording but none so much with each other as with this State version.
That phrase should make everyone shudder. The Christians and Jews should be bothered that the state is specifying a version (possibly not like theirs) of their sacred text. The rest of us should be bother that the state is writing versions of religious texts outside our own tradition or at all.
Wrong.
