Biblical Languages 301 Guidelines
This is where we come to delve into the biblical text. Theology is not our foremost thought, but we realize it is something that will be dealt with in nearly every conversation. Feel free to use the original languages to make your point (meaning Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). This is an exegetical discussion area, so please limit topics to purely biblical ones.
This is not the section for debates between theists and atheists. While a theistic viewpoint is not required for discussion in this area, discussion does presuppose a respect for the integrity of the Biblical text (or the willingness to accept such a presupposition for discussion purposes) and a respect for the integrity of the faith of others and a lack of an agenda to undermine the faith of others.

N.B. It's a pericope not a periscope! You find the latter on submarines.
The issue is not about whether or not anything is "true" it is about textual criticism and academic interpretation of an ancient text."It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."

I believe Jesus really said this, and meant that we are the sheep, and he is our shepherd. I'm surprised your source didn't mention Psalm 23! The Lord is my Shepherd. It seems this source is making a mess of what should be plain Scripture.

When he was all finished, the guy in charge of the orals team congratulated him on what a superb job he did, then got that funny look on his face, and said, "Except - it's not a pericope (wrong pronunciation) but a pericope (correct pronunciation)
My friend was duly embarrassed and humiliated.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Here are some Biblical experts' readings of the passage:
Clearly, they are taking this statement as a real statement of Jesus.

You did and it's wretched auto-spelling on my tablet, and so I apologise. It does not know what a pericope is.
I briefly outlined some of the theories put forward by a brief selection of academics."It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."

Given that you have quoted me I therefore feel I have a "right to reply".
By the way, how fluent are you in Koine Greek?"It ain't necessarily so

Incidentally, we are all prone to typos - to wit your own thread entitled "Crucifixtion" We are also prone to confuse names, as you did when you assumed that John Ashton whose work I cited was the John F Ashton who writes for AiG. To err is human...

I also rely on Daniel B. Wallace.
