Nothing twisted. All who read this thread will notice one thing, whether they agree or disagree with my position, You couldn't refute it.
Once again Danoh, just for kicks...this is Esther 8:17:
17 In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the kings commandment and his decree arrived, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen on them.
How did "the people of the land" become Jews? As you like to say..."simple question"...
They had blood transfusions.
Its not that I can or cannot refute some of you at times, as I have years in Scripture and know my way around studying a thing out when I put my mind to it; its that you are sometimes just tiresome.
I wish we could just compare, share, or what have you, but some of you do not appear to be about that no matter how much you assert otherwise.
As a result, at times I simply do not wish to bother. And that any of us should feel this way due to others should bother us. I include myself.
As to the Esther question, I'll have to study it out by my understanding to this point has always been that they became Jews by submitting to the Law of Moses and circumcision, Esther 8:17; Acts 10: 28; 11:3; 15:1, 5; Gal. 5:3, etc.
If you see otherwise, then your debt of gratitude to us all as unto the Lord is to simply share it and not use such supposed learnings as a means of another's stumbling block, 1 Cor. 15:58; Rom. 14:13.
My days on this site are numbered anyway, as I'd rather invest my time with people who are actually about sharing with one another, regardless of differences, and in contrast to all this supposed "exposing" of error. Its why I often try to relate "my understanding is..."
Only to have you spit on it. Given my background, its not something I take kindly too, as my prior life was not one of stepping back to anyone. So, for this, I am glad this is merely an internet forum and not face to face.
Its been an interesting challenge, this trying to hold back my old ways, so for that I am grateful, but its beginning to wear thin. I'm too well aware from the Word that this continued ugliness by so many in this "Christian" forum "professing" Christ is no more than continuance in "evil communications" and its result - the "corruption" eventually of "good manners."
We all really need to at least try to be a be bit more civilized with one another - we - of all people - are supposed to know how to get over ourselves!
