Where are you?
I'm a little depressed. I'm wondering what's the use. Nobody goes to UT to discover the truth, and Annihilationism isn't allowed to be discussed anywhere else. The Cult of Torturism controls the board and doesn't allow a fair discussion. We argue circles around their illogical scripture twisting but it doesn't do any good.

I know what you mean, however, think about the many obstacles Christ and the disciples faced when they preached the word and how many rejected that word in favor of the Roman/Greek gods.

It was very discouraging to only have around 500 followers, whereas many denominations today claim to have millions.

I must admonish you to "keep up the good fight" not only for others but for your well being also.

1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Your brother In Christ,
Roy

I know, I hold on to this. It isn't until the end that everything is set right. I hold onto this scripture:
οιδα σου τα εργα ιδου δεδωκα ενωπιον σου θυραν ανεωγμενην ην ουδεις δυναται κλεισαι αυτην οτι μικραν εχεις δυναμιν και ετηρησας μου τον λογον και ουκ ηρνησω το ονομα μου ιδου διδωμι εκ της συναγωγης του σατανα των λεγοντων εαυτους ιουδαιους ειναι και ουκ εισιν αλλα ψευδονται ιδου ποιησω αυτους ινα ηξωσιν και προσκυνησωσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου και γνωσιν οτι ηγαπησα σε.

God will reveal the truth in the end and it will be obvious to all that He is not torturing anyone.

Correction Mat 9:13
Mat 9:13 But make your way to know about to what extent it is I will have compassion, and not offerings as a sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Mat 9:13 πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεος θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους

good one

but you forgot repentance,

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The Holy Bible : King James Version. electronic ed. of the 1769 edition of the 1611 Authorized Version. Bellingham WA : Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1995, S. Mt 9:13

nicene fathers are quoted saying the long ending of this verse

"“I am not come to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.”
St John Crysostom
Schaff, Philip: The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Vol. X. Oak Harbor : Logos Research Systems, 1997, S. 201

same thing with mark 2:17 KJV
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

I realize it's not in the best texts NOW, but then it may have been. Because John crysostom quotes the long ending.

Hi Gradyll, Welcome to the study of Matthew, it's good to see you here. I hope we can set aside our differences for a while.

On Matthew 9:13 it depends on which manuscripts a person is looking at.
He-man is looking at UBS4 manuscripts (I think), and I've been in the Byzantine manuscripts.

πορευθέντες δὲ μάθετε τί ἐστιν· ἔλεος θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν· οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς.

πορευθέντες δὲ μάθετε τί ἐστιν, Ἔλεον θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν· οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλούς εἰς μετάνοιαν.

The Byzantine group includes εἰς μετάνοιαν - into repentance. Apparently early manuscripts don't include εἰς μετάνοιαν.

I'm not getting into which is better, I'm just sticking to Byzantine because that's the object of my study. In my regular bible reading I study UBS4.

interesting thing is Chrysostom quoted a text that was byzantine too. The earliest dates of the byzantine come in right at the end of Chrysostom's life. So it is possible that Chrysostom had some other copy that was actually quite the same as byzantine. Just a note I was thinking of.

I think that there are early manuscripts that are the same as the Byzantine manuscripts, but they were destroyed when the fresh manuscripts were prepared.

I like the Byzantine manuscripts, but my likes are not relevant.

Many quotes from the early church confirms it was in existence or a similar one. Thats one reason why I trust it. Good, that you like it....I do to.

That is partially correct and that is what I use, "A" along with "B" and the rest and is what Mt 12:6 means!

Matthew 9:32

αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον

They but going-out behold they-brought-to him man mute being-afflicted-by-a-daimon.

As they were going out, some people brought him a mute man who was being afflicted by a daimon.

δαιμονιζόμενον from δαιμονίζομαι

Strong's is more helpful than Thayer's on this.
To be afflicted by an evil spirit, to be a demoniac.

Quoting Strong's
It is much disputed whether the writers of the NT used this word to denote the actual presence of evil spirits in the persons affected, or whether they employed it only in compliance with popular usage and belief, just as we now use the word "lunatic" without assenting to the old opinion of the influence of the moon. A serious difficulty in the way of this latter supposition is that the demoniacs everywhere at once address Jesus as the Messiah.
Thayer's
δαιμονίζομαι; 1 aorist passive participle δαιμονισθείς; (δαίμων); to be under the power of a demon: ἄλλος κατ' ἄλλην δαιμονίζεται τυχην, Philemon 1 in Stobaeus, ecl. phys. 1, p. 196; of the insane, Plutarch, symp. 7, 5, 4, and in other later authors. In the N. T. δαιμονιζόμενοι are persons afflicted with especially severe diseases, either bodily or mental (such as paralysis, blindness, deafness, loss of speech, epilepsy, melancholy, insanity, etc.), whose bodies in the opinion of the Jews demons (see δαιμόνιον) had entered, and so held possession of them as not only to afflict them with ills, but also to dethrone the reason and take its place themselves; accordingly, the possessed were accustomed to express the mind and consciousness of the demons dwelling in them; and their cure was thought to require the expulsion of the demon — (but on this subject see B. D. American edition under the word Demoniacs and references there; Weiss, Leben Jesu, book iii., chapter 6)
