i have a thing on that somewhere, lemme see if i can dig it up https://biblicalhistoricalcontext.com/israelite-origins/israelite-origins-putting-away-childish-things/ ya, so what i mean by “lies” is things written that are not literally true, and were never meant to be understood literally; so...

i think it goes that samaritans were considered atheists by devout Jews, whether they actually were or not? A Jew even talking to a Samaritan = stoning then, regardless, and we now basically have a lot of “good samaritan” journalism to overcome, when they were then considered strictly off limits...

well youd prolly get more reliable information by just typing “five” and “one hundred” into a Bible engine, but five is generally considered to be a number that reps something like “hand” whereas man is six, so a kind of reflection of man, maybe. Five is usually equated with grace, i think...

Jesus clowned the religious of His day, and praised the atheist (samaritan) and the pagan (roman centurion), so, ya (Try to do a lot of good in a lot of different ways.) is supposed to be in your post, but whenever i erase it the next one moves up here lol Well i def wouldnt suggest blindly...

bc everything you have purported to know here so far has turned out to be so accurate, right? lol ok, best of luck to you ok

ok buddy, go with that if you like, fine with me

The Bible plainly warns us that strong men will seize control, if they can and fwiw, sorry about this, ok? I realize that finding this out from some stranger on the internet seems pretty ridic lol. And there are, God help us, even pastors who are apparently blissfully unaware. Young ones...

i guess wikipedia would be a decent first approach? The Cult of Sol Invictus is technically the Roman Catholic congregation now, although Protestants have retained all of the basics. Amazing to me how…hidden in plain sight all that is, to virtually all believers; but then there just is no vested...

Nothing wrong with being in the cult of sol btw, Apollos waters

hey, so, progress. From you knowing all that stuff before, i mean i mean, Paul’s writings are very clear to you, but you didnt know that there was no “to be absent…?” ha cmon Scooter pls

that congregation that you belong to, but are not aware of?

i just edited back there fwiw; it usually takes me a minute to build a post, sorry but yes, the verse that never says “to be” in any translation, idt? point being that Paul is adept at putting stuff a certain way, so as to be easily misunderstood by the cult of sol invictus

You can no doubt recognize the sense in which since we are still talking about Jesus 2k years later, He has “risen” though. And your last sentence strikes me as a pretty good way of saying “no, you dont yet recognize Who Jesus is” maybe

https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/5-8.htm idt its even ever xlated that way into English, Scooter. My fave rendition might be “We are cock-sure, i tell you, and would prefer to be dead, and partying with Jesus in heaven”

ah. Not aware of any problems in the Bible, that might be interesting. Problems understanding, maybe, i mean i have plenty of those lol realizing that i wasnt reading journalism helped a lot

5 and 12, 4 and 7 is a possible point, even if largely lost on us now?

hey, if they cant read Buried with Him in death, raised to new life in Him, baptism iow, thats on them right. We also have Galileans (the code word), why do you stand there looking up into the sky? which would be a perfectly logical response in a literal scenario, right. Anyway, “5” and “100”...

well, not sure how useful i would be there, but post a link or whatever, im down

ha ya, i know…its why i got called here i guess maybe i put that poorly; i am aware that the apparent contradictions in the Bible are surely deliberate, and lead to wisdom, while also hiding wisdom from the wise
