Why do biblical literalists refuse to answer questions?

Any time, Lets not get crosswise, ok?

 

For a moment I feared you will tell me LA-Dinos are the Dinos from Laos Angeles and a rest of the Latinos lives in Switzerland.

Oh by the way - because it's always nice to speak with an expert: I miss some langobards. Is ZZ top the whole rest of the longbeards or are more ZZ's living in the USA?

Good that you are allknowing. Tell me something about how the letter "J" came on a script from Otfried von Weißenburg of the year 870. To remember the historical context: The German Charlesmagne became emperor of the holy roman empire in the year 800.

are you tryibng to be funny? If so you are failling

 

Again: How comes the letter "J" on this letter - ah: writing - of the year 870 if you say the letter "J" is from the year 16xx?

Do yo like to say I'm not amused? Damn. You forgot that I'm a German - we don't have such a thing like humor. So how could I be amused?

In order to be a biblical literalist, they have to ignore facts and pesky little things like that. Once you can start ignoring facts, its easier to ignore questions.

 

YOU did that...look at your own claim-

You didn't say "denomination of christianity"....you said largest RELIGION.

 

I meant Romans. Greeks, Romans their all the same. they all descend from Esau and Amalek.

Here you go.

And once you realize the Bible is not for you, then it's easier to not ask any questions at all.

 

Meh. Even people who dont believe in the bible ask the same questions. Why am I here? How did this all come about? The difference is, we dont think we know the answers. Christians in their absolute arrogence, think they understand everything.

 

It isn't the letter 'J' its an ''I'' and its the begining of the word In. The page reads In principio erat verbum et Verbum erat apud D(eu)m et D(eu)s erat verbum, that is in the begining was the word and the word was with god and the word was God.


I suggest you obtain an education before you attempt to bull(*)(*)(*)(*) me again.

 

Romans did not invent the J. They used an I. the J didn't appear for another millenium. You really are a bit thick .

You can't even answer questions about your bible.

 

What I am reinforcing is that the Bible was written by men who may have been inspired by God to some extend (whether you believe the latter or not is a matter of faith), but who certainly were not inerrant when it comes to things such as historical/scientific facts. When people are driven by ideological reasons to deny that the Bible contains any historical core, that’s just as daft and contrary to the findings of modern historians/Bible-scholars as it is daft and contrary to said findings to proclaim the Bible to be a 1:1 historical factbook for ideological reasons.
You may of course be of the drastic opinion that anything written by errant men must automatically be a made up fable and of the even more drastic opinion that made up fables can never ever teach us anything. In that case you may as well throw every single book you own into the bin, that is if you in fact own any books.

 

You are absolutely right, but why so unfriendly? Such unfriendliness won't help you to convince people to actually think about what you are saying. They'll be to busy with feeling insulted to take anything else in. Maybe that's partly why fundamentalists won't answer your questions. Granted: that certainly won't be the only reason and I shall have to admit that I too have lost my temper here and there when trying to discuss with them.

 

Who has denied that there is ANY historical core to the bible?

 

Why so unfriendly?

Is tarted by asking a question and just got abusive nonsense from 4 horsemen (as I predicted). Christians will not defend their absurd positions but have the termity to insist they are right. What is particularly galling is that they makie up any old (*)(*)(*)(*) and claim it is real and try and lecture people who know vastly more than they do.

It is clear that neither of the two morons have any idea of Greek or Latin but they presume to lecture us. they deserve whatever they get. Fundementalists will not answer your questions because they know they will get wiped so they resort to petty insults.

 

If you think so. It's by the way funny that every european language is using the letter "J" for another sound. We are using "J" and "I" with the same sound so we are able to replace the letter "I" with "J". You are anglo-centralized in your form to think.

short answer:
BABYLON

(all-caps for dramatic effect)

And, no one remembers to cross their T and dot their lower-case J anymore because the computer fonts does it for them.

 

No I'm not. I am well aware the German, The Netherlans (amongst others) Uses a J for the sound we use a Y for, that the spanish use it for an aspirated H and the french use it for a zh sound.

Germany uses an I for the vowel at the begining of ''In" as written above.

You will have to explain that

 

What's another expression for: His argument is wrong. Someone could had written in the German language (before the politicians decided they have to rule our language) for example "Jller " instead of "Iller" to make clear that this has nothing to do with "3er" or to make clear that the first letter is an "I" or "i" and not an "L" or an "l". Someone was also able to do so without any reason only just for fun, I heard Luther for example used all same sounding combinations of "ei", "ej", "ey", "ai", "aj", "ay" in a same page and even in the same words. "meier" and "majer" for example. It never needed a special reason to replace an "I" with a "J".

Let me say it in this way: If I see a "J" then I see a "J". If you don't see a "J" where I see a "J" then our perception is different. Not a theme for a third world war.

short answer:


What more explanation do you need?

 

You said you did not wish me to address you ever again, because I’m the sperm of Satan or something. So am I supposed to answer you when you address me or not?

 

What do you make of this sentence?

Had he written: “The Bible contains made up fables” I would have nodded my head in agreement and would have maybe pointed out that “myths and legends” would be more adequate literary terms. But with the word “is” he got out the big brush that covers all.

By their very nature most internet forums are full of people who talk out of their arses (and even though I happen to have the Graecum and the big Latinum, I’d often even include myself here). It’s a phenomenon that’s not restricted to Christians by the way, I've seen atheists doing the same. Live with it. If you feel the need to correct them 2.Tim. 2:25a might have a good advice for you: “Opponents must be gently instructed”. Admittedly I regularly fail to heed it myself.

 

Well simply put.....

I am a Biblical literalist. There are several reasons why sometimes I don't bother to answer people's questions.

Most times, the reason I don't answer is because you can tell by the way the question was asked or phrased, that the individual asking doesn't really care about the answer. The questioner is asking in a passive aggressive way, because they are simply trying to discredit your belief system. They were never really interested in the answer to begin with.


Sometimes it's the question. You simply are not going to understand the answer, until you actually gasp that G-d exists. Until you have actually had that one on one, direct meeting with G-d in Heaven, where you know he exists, and you know he heard your prayers, and you see him answer those prayers.... you are simply not capable of understanding the answers to some questions.

I'm speaking from my own life. There were times before I met the Lord of Heaven, where I didn't understand some things. But after you have met G-d, those answers make sense. I think it's simply a change of perspective, where if your world view is that G-d is like fairies and leprechauns, then when you hear the answers to some questions you don't get it.

All that said, I will be more than happy to answer questions to someone who honestly wants to know the answer. (assuming I know the answer)
