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.

Here's a better example still and more parallel with the actual Gospel. A woman stands guilty of adultery. She is divorced and sentenced to scourging. The judge steps down from the bench and lays aside his robes, and takes her place in the dock. He confesses her adultery as his own, and...

All men everywhere are commanded to repent. The obedient Israelite was still a penitent Israelite. You're ignoring a host of rites concerning the body of the sacrifice. We don't just take the cup at Lord's table. There's the broken bread too. More on that later. Still, the sacrifice was...

But God was home when the penitent Israelite presented himself before Him. What did God accept, and treat as if it were the Israelite himself? The offering. And what was the treatment of the sin offering? It received the judgment of sin. There's no way around it. PSA is the Gospel, and...

But if you accepted flowers for her, or on her behalf, that means you received them instead of her.
