You do not understand ancient history nor the ancient customs of that day. Get back to me when you fully comprehend the times of the old testament. Until then you will continue to rationalize the text and force your opinion on it rather than extracting from it. You have shown that you don't read the Bible and you don't understand it. You should first study up on a subject instead of comming off as if you know it all and have studied to show yourself approved.
What are you talking about? You don't have to read my responses because I was not speaking to you. Unless........you and kjkent1 are one in the same??:eek:
*Sigh* So many slippery salamanders, so little time... Good luck, kjkent1. After writing your last post and then getting Aapex's response quoted above, don't you feel like you paid for a fine meal but got Chicken McNuggets instead?
"Bullshit." Brilliant argument. Brilliant!!! What a logician!!! LOL...... Nothing if not consistency from TK9.....fallacy, after fallacy.....
And nothing quite like another sidestep on your part. Parry and jab, eh? Thank you for confirming, by example, the very thing I accused you of in my post that you quoted.
Your ad hominem vein, and full on expression of the resentments you hold, and hold, and hold, and hold are a joy to behold.... LOL..... You remind me of Ned Beatty's character in Deliverance, come on, squeal for us TK9.... <img src=http://hillquest.com/images/pig-lipstick.jpg>
Actually, it was you who perfected the ad hominem attack, both here and in other threads. Here, specifically, I refer to pages 3, 4, 5 and, oh look, 10. And now, I will leave you with your rigorous intellectual honesty which you referred to at the top of page 6. P.S. No doubt, your last post is an example of the spirituality by which you live. It is little wonder that you are deeply concerned with human nature. Perhaps you should be equally concerned about your photo collection.
Les's suppose you are right and I have perfected ad hominem attacks. That would make me a very qualified judge of the use of ad hominem, and eminently qualified to evaluate your use of ad hominem attacks, would it not? LOL.... You are so easy, I can take a shit in front of you, and then watch you step right in it..... Oh, and if you had an internal life of the type I speak of, you would know that real rigorous honesty has to do with being honest with oneself and the relationship with one's own spirituality, and has nothing at all to do with relationships with others.....
I may not know much about the ancient customs of the Hebrews (although my Rabbi would likely disagree with your view), but I know a whole hell of a lot about U.S. History and the manner by which the South used the Old Testament to support the maintenance of slavery in America. In the event you change your mind and deign to lower yourself to some "civil discourse" (as you put it) on the subject, just send me a PM and I'll come back to the conversation.
yes, zzzzz. please answer the question posed earlier--what text did you refer to? ancient magickal tomes by chance? one must combine the material, carnal, spiritual, righteous,science and faith to arrive at truth. hence the rise of spiritual materialism in the tradition of teilhard de chardrin yet expanded upon by the wisdom of the age. surfer
