And the Pharisees won but the other groups always spring up in abundance.The Jews were very divided. Essenes, zealots, Herodians, Saducees, Sicarri, Pharisees. They were fighting each other and the Romans. Herod's granddaughter was the mistress of Titus. The synagogues we're considered pharisaical.
Pharisees seem to have been a majority. The point is that first century history is all about conflict between the Jewish factions.And the Pharisees won but the other groups always spring up in abundance.
Yes. The current town called Nazareth is located on a flat plain, but one story has Jesus being led to a cliff in his home place. One hypothesis is that one of these other groups lived in the hills and were known as Nazarenes. It is thought 'Nazarene' may have been the name of a group, not the name of a place.And the Pharisees won but the other groups always spring up in abundance.
The Christian God is a sociopath.
If the flood tale is just a fable, what other parts of the Bible are mere fable and not historical record?

Nowhere in your source is a claim that Jesus was a Pharisee, sorry. Jesus was such a good Pharisee that they forced Pilate to kill him eh? No most scholars do not think He was.

He told the children of Israel, His chosen people, to drive the Canaanites out of their homeland. It was a command for the nation to take action. Christ, however, did not tell modern day Christians to "kill infidels", which is where you're trying to go. I'm telling you that you'll get a whole lot more out of the Bible if you don't restrict yourself just to the parts of the Old Testament that your favorite web sites says means God is bloodthirsty and wants to kill everyone.So, we agree there was a time that God told people to kill the infidels.

The Canaanites we're successful, prosperous and well organized. The Jews didn't kill them or drive them out. Their cities, towns, mining operations were uninterrupted.He told the children of Israel, His chosen people, to drive the Canaanites out of their homeland.

I can see you’re angry and emotive, what “Horrible twisted views” cause you such angst?Yet again you prove that you aren't interested in an actual discussion, since your horribly twisted views have already been shown to be false numerous times, by at least 3 different people. Yet you ignore that and continue on with your blasphemy and trolling. How sad.
You never did reply to this post, here. Particularly the last two sentences.
A bit more of your merciful god.
God's judgement is not arbitrary or random when you take into account how long He tolerates the peoples' wickedness. There will be many Americans who will be stunned and wonder why God is so mad at them when He judges the US. Exactly. That is what they don't get. But it's because they've...
The struggle with all the cruelty in the bible but we must remember. He loves them.
It appears you dismiss the biblical description of the flood. What other parts of the Bible do you pick and choose to believe?Not the way you read the King James Version. The original Hebrew has nothing about a planet-wide flood. You said you don't believe in a planet-wide flood, and neither did one of your teachers. You are either arguing a planet-wide flood or not. Which is it?
I can see you’re angry and emotive, what “Horrible twisted views” cause you such angst?
It appears I went much further back in my study than King James. I always choose to pick the original languages, and those include Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and some Aramaic.It appears you dismiss the biblical description of the flood. What other parts of the Bible do you pick and choose to believe?
What false portrayal of the flood?You can see the post of yours I was replying to. But I'm talking about all your posts on the last few pages in your false portrayal of the flood. It doesn't cause me angst, but it is sad (and telling) to me that you have been corrected numerous times yet you persist with your blasphemous false statements.
You still didn't reply to that post I linked to you, again. I'll post it again, here, I think it would be the third time now, or fourth? Again, the last couple sentences are what I asked you to reply to: A bit more of your merciful god.
Peter was never in RomeThe first church was not in Rome
I was hoping you could explain the contradiction of a supposed ankle-deep flood you assert is a translation from some scholars to the globe wiping flood clearly stated in the Bible. I never made any mention of a main character and his attributes.It appears I went much further back in my study than King James. I always choose to pick the original languages, and those include Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and some Aramaic.
So far, you have gotten as far as the setting in the story of the flood. I think you were about to describe the main character and his attributes and contributions to the moral of the story? Or do you only go as far as the setting and dismiss the rest?
Oh, so the nation of Israel existed in a parallel dimension where they occupied the same physical space as the Canaanites but didn't interact with them at all?The Canaanites we're successful, prosperous and well organized. The Jews didn't kill them or drive them out. Their cities, towns, mining operations were uninterrupted.
Of course they did. They had copper mines, metallurgy, pottery and other mining operations.Oh, so the nation of Israel existed in a parallel dimension where they occupied the same physical space as the Canaanites but didn't interact with them at all?
