Slightly off topic of the translation subject, but... Is it the Buddhist majority then who are the persecutors of the Rohingya, and is the hatred and persecution because of their religion, race, culture, or possibly some combination of all of these? Or something else?

Your statement to which I replied is clearly man-made. However, do not bother to admit that you misrepresented my saying that who said it was somehow important to whether we should listen to it or not, which I did not. More equivocation and deflection. You do not want proof, you only want to...

Our church has what we term a Statement of Faith, a simple declaration in writing of some things we believe the Bible teaches. Our statement of purpose is that it is (1) for the edification of our church “that thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed”...

It is a necessary inference. God created Adam & Eve. He did not create anyone else. The first people to inhabit the earth with Adam & Eve were their children. Anyone born into this world was born to these people. They had no one else to marry. The only way you can get around this is to make up a...

Somehow I overlooked this statement before. Once again you are making stuff up. I neither said nor suggested that man-made is better if it comes from a professor man. Makes no matter who says it -- some nutty professor or an old retired steelman. It is the content of what is said compared to the...

Funny that you deflect this time by finding refuge in the fact that God had not yet forbade the type of marriage between Abram & Sarai or Amram & Jochebed, but are not willing to admit that he had not yet forbade the type of marriage of Cain & his sister (or Cain & his niece, etc.). You refuse...

More deflection to preserve your man-made doctrine, whatever you mean by "NONE of them married their direct relatives." Abram and Amram married people whom they were forbidden to under the law of Moses (the same law which you are trying to use to prove your man-made point about Cain). Whoever...

The Diary of Anne. Frank! (Nothing Vague Here)

Confessions do not have to be by a denomination, school, etc. A confession can be personal -- what you believe. One definition of confess is to declare one's religious faith or belief, or as you say, "I have given what I personally believe." If you don't get it, I am not sure I can explain it...

I take it that you mean you have not used a confession adopted by a church, association, something like that. Is that correct? In this thread alone you have made at least the following confessions of faith: the Bible which Teaches that The Three Persons are equally YHWH The Holy Bible, in its...

Meaning some people claim they believe the Bible, but are very slippery when explaining what they believe the Bible teaches. Surely you have run across some of that type in your experience?

At its best, a confession is a declaration of what an individual, church, association, etc. believes that the Bible teaches. Unless it is wrong to confess what we believe, it is not wrong to have a confession of faith. Following the principle of confessing one's beliefs does not mean that...

Just make it up as you go. Since it is man-made -- your man-made doctrine -- you can do that. You cannot find any other humans that God created, so all that is left to do is to deflect. Abraham married his sister (Genesis 20:12; the daughter of his father, by a different wife), and God did not...

The Bond Collector (How to know you have all the 007 movies)

The contradiction is an imaginary one in your mind. There is no prohibition of incest until the law of Moses, and there is complete biblical clarity that God only created two people and that all of the humans descended from them. If you have a scripture for God creating more humans besides Adam...

We can only wish. Don't need a hint. God made two people. Everybody else came from those two. Anything else is man-made-up denial of the truth of creation. It appears that over the course of your discussing this, folks have offered several alternatives. Since you are happy with your man-made...

And the scriptures plainly say that Adam & Eve are the two people God created and that we all descend from them. Yea, right. British Israelism in American roby-garb does not a scriptural doctrine make. Romans 2:1.

Which sounds quite pious of you until people start noticing your own man-made doctrines with no scriptural support, such as God creating people other than Adam & Eve, or Britain and the U.S. being the lost descendants of Joseph.
