    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Why is this in civics?

        I was thunkifying the same thing after I posted and saw where it was.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Christianity 201?
          Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

              Because all the other boards are boring!
              Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                And John specifically departs from Greek grammar rules in John 14:16 and elsewhere, using a masculine singular pronoun to refer to the neuter word for "Spirit".

                "What I pray of you is, to keep your eye upon Him, for that is everything. Do you say, 'How am I to keep my eye on Him?' I reply, keep your eye off everything else, and you will soon see Him. All depends on the eye of faith being kept on Him. How simple it is!" (J.B. Stoney)

                  IIRC, in John where Jesus is quoted as referring to God as "father" more than the four Synoptic gospels combined.

                    They added a synoptic gospel?

                        For the longest time I couldn't remember which of the 4 gospels were the synoptics -- it was a weird mental block. Then one day, just like a light coming on, I thought ... I don't have to remember which ones ARE - I just have to remember that John ISN'T!

                          I'm triggered; I prefer to think of Jesus as a queer black woman (yes, this is actually what an article in a decent journal did).

                            In Genesis 17, the passage of scripture where God makes the Covenant of Circumcision with Abram, the Hebrew "El Shaddai" is traditionally translated as "God Almighty;" the Inclusive Bible renders it "the breasted one."
                            When I have the time, I'd love to see how badly they distort the original Hebrew and Greek.

                                If you go to the Amazon page
                                https://www.amazon.com/Inclusive-Bib.../dp/1580512135

                                and click on "look inside" there are quite a number of pages you can read.
