Post by S. J. CarsonPost by e***@no.spamThey do not tell Herod of the star, but of the star's significance.
Moron, do you even read the book?
It is not necessary, to be insulting. The greatest 'scholar', of the
Bible, knows nothing, unless he reads with Faith.
Some of the worlds most well known sociopaths had "faith" in what they
believed and read in that book.
Of course, 'the demons also believe, and tremble.'
What demons? Like your imaginary god?
Post by S. J. CarsonPost by Bob OfficerPost by S. J. CarsonPost by e***@no.spam2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Sounds like somebody told Herod.
This is foolishness. The text says that Herod asked a question, but
who are you, or who am I, to say whether, or not, he really did not
know the answer?
Matthew wasn't there, and it reads as if it is a seconds or third hand
account. Matthew never ever writes as if he was there.
Not much of a testimony is it?
Today such an account would be labeled as a urban legend.
Matthew's 'informant', was the omnipotent God. Are you suggesting,
that God has a bad memory, for events?
But that is a false claim, Matthew never claims to have talked to 'God.'
I suggest this recounting was made up out of whole cloth. Fabricated.
A fable to control the slaves and masses.
Post by S. J. CarsonPost by Bob OfficerPost by S. J. CarsonSo run along, Carson, you need
Post by e***@no.spamto spend more time on your homework and less on Onanism; it's
affecting your ability to see the words.
If you had read, and understood, the Bible, you would know, what the
sin of Onan was, instead of showing ignorance of the meaning of the
text. You may be guided to the truth, if you read one of many, good,
Evangelical commentaries.
Yes, Onan refused to commit an act adultery, and in so doing refused to
give his dead brother an heir upon his dead brother's wife.
There was no 'adultery'. Onan's sin, was that he misused marital
relations, to avoid procreation. The meaning is clear, yet even our
language demonstrates, how fallible it is, by using the name of Onan,
to label a different kind of sin! If even language is thus fallible,
how are 'ideas', expressed in language, such as the ideas of
'science', to be considered 'reliable'?
You forget the woman Onan refused to impregnate wasn't his wife. It was his
dead brother's wife. If it wasn't Onan's wife, and it was someone else's
wife then the act was adultery.
The word of God can not contain errors or contradictions
The Biblical Law commanded Onan to commit adultery.
The Bible states thou shall not commit adultery.
adultery is a sin.
Ergo the Bible contains a contradiction.
Contradictions are Errors.
The Bible contains Errors.
Therefore the Bible isn't the word of God.
What part of that don't you understand?
Or is ok to sleep with another man's wife if you intend impregnate her?
