No it isn't... I provided that the bible says donkeys can talk to humans because it says one did, you aren't agreeing or disagreeing. You're using red herring as filler.
Speaking of red herrings, I'll bet you believe Genesis 1:1 says "heavens," don't you?

If so, scholar, I submit that you're carrying that same mindset into the Balaam story as well.

Compliments of higher aceldama, of course.

Again... you aren't actually taking a position on the talking donkey :p

Again ... no kidding!?

It (parthenogenesis) didn't happen to Mary, and it didn't happen to anyone else in the Bible.

Are you making some kind of point with this?

I intended to tell you that miracles do not happen... this is why I said that they undermine the very scientific principles you try to use.

I've heard that 1-meg times here.

Don't get me wrong.

You're not the only one who talks like this.

Many of your educated comrades here speak of "heaven" being plural, and "talking snakes."

So you're not alone.

Again you aren't actually taking a position on whether what i said is true or false. When you said you appreciated my straight forward honest way of speaking.... that is what you are not doing.

Your position is as false as an eight dollar bill and comes straight out of Hell.

Wait... did you just get upset? Well I am pretty sure Thor is going to smite you really hard one day for your blasphemy.

That donkeys do not talk and your virgin birth did not happen and your hell is not real... is completely logical.

What would it be like if someone mistranslated the word "almah" in the OT book of Isaiah?

Credible Christian scholars have now conceded this issue to Jewish scholars. Aspects of the Jesus story have been forced into the Old Testiment in justification of those who left Judaism to follow Jesus. Christianity drains many an ancient Pagan swamp.

What are you referring to?
The English word "virgin" in Mathew is a mistranslation of the word "almah" in Isaiah. Almah is simply the word for "young woman."

Thor had his 15 minutes of fame on the earth.

Now he's in timeout.

(And I'm not kidding.)

If it is ...

And I would like to stress ...

If somehow that word "almah" got in there ...

The KJB took it out.

Hey he promised to stop all the frost giants and I don't see any frost giants....
Evidently he kept his promise then.

Is there a problem?

Do you know what a fallen angel is?

You do know they have names, don't you?

You live in a beautiful special pleading fallacy with mythical creatures because it makes you feel good... and you insist that no one can possibly perceive the truth of it or the nature of reality... unless they first meet your mythical creatures :D and are granted access within hahaha... please stop. Okay?
I only wanted to explain your misunderstanding of the rape, burn, murder stuff you mentioned. There is a simple answer. But the fact that you live about as far from the actual reality of what the universe is all about, stands in the way of you even being able to consider it. I may as well be literally conversing with a fish in a fishbowl. The difference is, unlike a fish in a bowl, you don't even see beyond the limit that binds you, nor apparently do you have the imagination to conceive it. Incidentally, that is where the term "born again" comes from...the ability to conceive the spirit of God. I guess you don't got it.

The sad part is...your horizon stops at the very thing you curse, at the make believe created world...in contented bliss.

If for some reason an inkling of imagination pops into your mind, and you would like to expand your horizon to include the actual reality beyond this pixelated Masterpiece, the door is open (for a limited time).

Yeah, Mathew's anonymous authors completely mistranslated "almah," and rode that horse hard for the 'virgin birth' narrative, when all this time is was a simple mistake... oops. ;)

So the ability to conceive of god/s and alternate realities is akin to being born again? GTK.
