Is that the No True Scottsman Fallacy I see? How serious a person is about their studies may have a strong correlation with the quality of their work, but it in no way determines that their work will be good, or match yours.
Typical response of those who don't carefully read Scripture. Exod. 21:20 states,"When a man strikes his slave or his salve-girl with a stick and the slave dies on the spot, he must be punished. But he is not to be punished if the slave survives for one day or two, because the slave is his property. "
You're justifying changing "servant" to "slave," and then then telling me about "wordplay"?I guess you mean the planet, but it is more humorous to imagine you mean the Romanized version of the Greek god Hades. You probably think that if us atheists don't know more about that now, we will soon enoughand the dark humor of that and wordplay that are at my expense don't humor me any less for it.
)I already cited you direct OT quotes that debunk you here. Did you pay any attention to them? Also, historically, there was often no real difference between being a servant and a slave.You're justifying changing "servant" to "slave," and then then telling me about "wordplay"?
Alrighty, then.
I'll be you think God's miracles were God's magic, don't you?
(In the Old Testament, that is. We need to stipulate that, don't we? Wez smart cookies.
No, it doesn't.
Democracy is about the worst form of government, except when you consider the alternatives. Also, it takes far more talent and skill to govern over a democracy than to govern as a tyrant, enlightened or otherwise. Remember, an enlightened tyrant is still a tyrant.
Yep, I'm one smart cookie. Therefore, I know exactly what to do. Go and read the Bible. Apparently reading Scripture is not among the skills in your response repertoire. I just posted some direct quotes from Exod. Too bad you haven't paid any attention to them.He's a smart cookie, ain't he?
I'll bet he knows more about Pluto than I, too.
It does here, however. The reason I say that is because the academic world of modern biblical scholarship has research tools, education, and linguistic skills in place way beyond what the laity have. Hence, the conclusions scholarship presents are based on a far more objective and extensive study of the Bible.
No... I was making a dark joke. Because thinking we know more about Pluto than you (Pluto is the Romanized version of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld and also another term for Hell). And I said if we don't now, we will later (as per your belief system, atheists go to hell). That's how it's a play on words, because knowing you, you meant the planet.You're justifying changing "servant" to "slave," and then then telling me about "wordplay"?
Alrighty, then.

Really?
Shebet, which you brought up, means to be hit with a rod. What on earth does Hebrews have to do with this?
No, it doesn't.
I am actually a bit shocked you'd bother with the Hebrew, given that you personally consider the English King James Bible to be the most accurate.
In case you didn't notice, the word was servant/maid, not slave, in his post.
It makes no difference. Saying we should use "servant" rather than "slave" is simply putting lipstick on a pig, and you know it and he does, too.
