Big Bang theorists postulate a flat universe curved in on itself with no edge or center, like the surface of a balloon. If you traveled in a straight line long enough from any point in space, you would eventually end up where you started. The Big Bang wasn't an explosion in the middle of 3-D...

Pedantry shall not avail thee. Your implications are obvious to the casual observer. Just own it and let's move on. But congrats on your great escape.

*sigh* If you're going to belabor the point, a cursory search yielded this: Here in your signature arrogance you call PSA pagan, and accuse those who hold to it as presenting a petty God, needing to be pacified with a toy instead of just passing over our sins. You may not have used the...

There are things about Creation that are inexplicable, and I'm not so sure Einstein was right about everything. In fact, I believe the special theory to be false. I believe the narrative in Genesis 1 desribes the creation of a spherical universe with an edge and center, and I believe the earth...

Just as the earth and the waters brought forth mature beasts and plant "life", the stars were made and seen on the fourth day.

Whatever. I have a distinct memory of your referring to the idea as paganism and abuse, and pettiness on the part of God for demanding payment of sin instead of simply forgiving them and letting them slide. I'm sorry I brought it up, because now you're avoiding the main content of my...

The best way to deal with the issue is don't sweat it. Confess the sin that resides in our hearts, and look unto Jesus. Naturally, we all need to reduce the amount entertainment we take in, that goes without saying, but all this attention will serve only to exacerbate the situation.

In the past you've accused a God of PSA...the Gospel, rather...for pettiness and child abuse.

No, your holiness, not an insult...an indictment. If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the...

I used "your" as collective, so your edit of my quote is a parallel, however, you need to indicate your edit with brackets, or you will be attributing verbatims to me that I did not write. ;)

He bore, carried our sins, in His own body. You deny this truth and have to pervert the Scriptures to support it. Oh, you say the words, but you deny their meaning . It's true no mere man can carry another’s sins. But God can, and did in the body prepared for Him to offer as the sin sacrifice...

That's not my argument. My argument is that your understanding is carnal...worse actually, because you pervert the Scriptures to support it. Now you're on the right path. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have...

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. - John 3:2

Hath not the Potter power over the clay? It wouldn't be wrong for God to send God in the body He made for Him to be our sacrifice. And it wouldn't be wrong for God to yield that body to God's will. It's Who He is.

Yes he did. Of course not. He illuminates it. I'm well aware. No, here is what God said in Deuternonomy: וְכִי-יִהְיֶה בְאִישׁ, חֵטְא מִשְׁפַּט-מָוֶת--וְהוּמָת: וְתָלִיתָ אֹתוֹ, עַל-עֵץ. Here is what it means: If a man does a crime for which the punishment is death, and he is put to death...

*sigh* Except that Paul says otherwise. That's how Christ was put to death, by hanging. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: - Gal 3:13 KJV What is written? Cursed is everyone who...

Baloney. You know exactly what I mean. The Jews believed they were being true to the text, too, and they missed their Messiah. You say you’re being true to the text, but you're not. You're merely leveraging a hyper-pedantry to keep your thumb on the scales. In the sin offering the sin is...

It makes perfect sense. Wouldn't you say that Christians and Jews just have a different understanding of the law and the prophets? What of the Eucharist ? Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and...

Apologize? More like confess the murder and adultery that resides in your heart

The scribes couldn't have said it any better.
