Christology and Preterism Part 2

Herein is your basic problem.

My words were in their irreducible simplicity - "Herein is your basic problem".

Dr Cassidy and John of Japan have made great sacrifice of time and treasure to help the rest of the sheep (b-a-a-a-a) here and abroad.

Now I don't agree with either one on every jot and tittle but I can honestly say I have learned more from these two men (couple of others Dr Bob, Logos) than the rest at the BB.

True I am "old school" like them.

But give a listen and consider what they say before you throw them into the River of Ignorance.

But p70 - I do admire your perseverance - terrible waste of talent though.

You have much to learn grasshopper (Depending on how old you are you might not understand that).

As for Tcass - think hyperbole.

Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration used to make a point. It is like the opposite of “understatement.” It is from a Greek word meaning “excess.” Hyperboles can be found in literature and oral communication.

I think he either is or was a college professor which can cause a man to be impatient and/or irritable at times ..
Also he is the sheriff (in more ways than one ) here at the BB and he must keep the peace.

Agreed, Kyredneck and covenanter are very knowledgeable.

Relax. I for one take you seriously. I've great respect for anyone who takes their right to private judgement seriously, and that you most definitely do.

 

Lev. 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

Doesn't get much plainer.

 

There are others, of course, such as:

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you." (Leviticus 18:22-24).

"For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."(Romans 1:26-27)

There are other verses referring to Sodom While the Sodomites were also idolators, so was most of the rest of the world. But God chose to roast Sodom because of its rampant homosexuality, I believe.

God calls a particularly-bad sin an "abomination", and HS is included in that category.

BTW, the word 'homosexual" wasn't coined til 1892, from a German play translated into English. The word quickly gained use among intellectual circles & over time came into general use. In the meantime, the meanings of "sodomy" & "sodomite" changed.

 

I take you seriously too. I am frustrated because I have such limited time on the Internet. I am currently staying with my Luddite ma-in-law who does not have Internet.

BTW, we are hopefully embarking soon on our next foreign teaching assignment. It will be good to be in a place where I can get involved here again.

 

You spoke of humility to Dr. Cassidy. May I suggest that a humble approach for you concerning genea and genos would have been to phrase your post as a question? The way you phrased it made you sound like you actually knew what you were doing. You don't.

Dr. Cassidy and I are both Greek teachers. We spent literally hundreds of hours gaining that knowledge, not to mention the huge amount of tuition we had to pay. (As I have told you elsewhere, I worked full time in a dirty, dangerous factory to be able to pay my college bills.) I have spent literally thousands of hours translating the Bible from Greek into Japanese. If you can't see how incongruous it is for you to then try to lecture Dr. Cassidy and me on Greek, then you simply don't understand life.

 

Thinking of personal experience, once entrenched in a doctrinal error, getting one to acknowledge the error and embrace truth is like trying to find a camel in the Middle East that isn't harelipped.

Personally, I worked for every degree I hold. Those that do so find it is honorable, and as part of character building. One school I attended required until recently that every student had to do a certain number of non-credit community work before a degree was granted.

However, some make the mistake in thinking there is a correlation between being educated and being right.

Some of the most ungodly, perverse sort hold exalted educational degrees, and are greatly puffed up in their own status. No amount of reasoning turns them from excess and perversion.

That said, the honest scholarship that is found on this board, such as is displayed in TCassidy, John of Japan, and others who have both testimony and education is a resource I have treasured.

More than once, i have appealed to the language skills of the scholars on the BB in examining my own work in fear that it be found unworthy, in error, and antichrist.

Do we always agree on all things? Nope

All would point to areas of disagreement with me. But I never found that non-harelipped camel, either.

 

I guess I missed it. Has there been verses put forth on this thread that demonstrates this?

Which post number?
