Why do biblical literalists refuse to answer questions?

FWIW, I say "jebus" because it's no more accurate then saying "jesus". Actually I prefer "jaysus" because that's how southerns pronounce it.

 

And you would b wrong on all 3 accounts because none of them are accurate. His name is Yeshua. the letter "J" wasn't even around during the time of the creation of the alphabet.

You're welcome.

Challenge me or challenge the word of GOD? the latter is what the quack on the video is attempting to do.

 

On the contrary, "These" are the very reason the Taliban hasn't already taken over.

Not hardly when you think of all the accomplishments the Most High allowed mankind to achieve in such a short time.

 

How do you know that?

 

The Greeks created the letter "j" experimenting with the letter "i" and just put a hook on the end of it.

 

The question was how do you know that is what the guy was saying on the video?
You've never seen it!

 

Christian or Mus talibans, they'd each be worse than the other.

 

That seems to be the problem: often the very fundamentalists, who idolize the Bible as the verbally inspired, literally true and inerrant word of God, don’t take time to actually read and study it. They just go for the bits their church leaders cherrypicked and spoon-fed them to support theologies that ironically are anything but plainly and literally scriptural but the result of very heavy interpreting.

Thing is: to a lot of Christians - and that would include more scholarly minds within the Catholic Church such as John P. Meier for example (http://www.americancatholic.org/Messenger/Dec1997/feature3.asp) - what’s historically ‘true’ doesn’t matter so much for their faith. A biblical narrative about Jesus’ live may be historically inaccurate but still carry a deeper theological truth. The story of Jesus, the adulteress and the first stone for example probably never happened, yet it may tell you something about the true essence of Christ as early Christians perceived it.

 

Ἰησοῦς - where's the hook?

 

Is it just ignorance that gets you to write this nonsense or do you lie on purpose? The Greeks do not have a letter 'J'. There is no letter developed by them that is an í'with a hook on it. I thought you christians like to study Koine? Clearly you are one of the ones that dopesn't have the grey matter.

 

However I love the way that 4 horseman just proves my point.

He is unable to show that there are inconsistencies in the bible and refuses to even address them. he just attacks those who point them out and even lies in order to do so.

What is it about fundyChristiaans that they feel they have to lie?

(forgetting the nonsense the non fundies witter about fiction beeing more true)

 

He writes similar falsehoods about science, too.

I've often asked the same question.

One hypothesis is that they are actually followers of the father of lies.

 

What questions?

 

The Romans took their letters from the greek culture and maybe they made what he said. Or was someone else using the first time the letter "J"? Whatever - I don't think it's important how the name of ישוע is written. As far as I know were the early Romans also Greeks and melted with other tribes of other cultures in Italy.

The "Ladinos" and/or Romans did so. The "Ladinos" were Celts and/or Etruscans if I'm right and the early Romans Greeks. Etruscans smiled - so we know it's impossible that fanatic atheists are reborn Etruscans and/or red indian celtic Latinos.

No the Romans have different letters from the Greeks. That much is quite obvious to anyone who has ever studied the classics. The romans didn;t use a J either. I suggest you stay out of debates you clearly know nothing about.

I have no idea what your last sentence means.

 

you aren't right. Ladino is a vulgate language written in hebrew script and spoken by Sephardic jews.

The latins were neither Celts nor Etruscans.

 

I was wondering that too.

 

The letter 'J'does not become a distinct letter until half way through the 16th century in Italy and about a hundred years later it replaces dg (as in Hedge or Ledger) in about 1650 to spell the sound of dʒ

 

Thank you.

 

All you're reinforcing is that the bible is a made up fable created by men.

 

The strange thing is: You are really so agresssive. We Germans are for example also using the letters "J" and "I" - neverthelss the word "Junge" (=Boy) would sound in the same way as if we would use the combination of the letters "iunge". Not so in all other european languages - also not in the german dialect english. "Jungle" sounds different than "iungle" for example.

And although romans got their letters from the greeks (¿via Etruscans?) you are right - it's 'sad' - ah sorry: 'said' - that the Romans did not use the letters G, J, U,W,Y, Z. In case of the letter "j" I heard about two different opinions. Some say the Etruscians used this letter - others say it occured within the last 500 years,

But Otfried von Weißenburg for example used in the year 870 a letter "I" in a Latin text what looks like this (Source Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/J):




Maybe we Germans introduced the letter "J" just for fun - or maybe we started to learn 'iodelen' - ah: 'jodeln' - damn: 'yodel'?

You Germans didn't event the J
