Christianity and the End Times

ONE verse is unambiguous. The verses that disagree with it are equally unambiguous. Unambiguous yes + unambiguous no = ambiguous. That would be the No Sane Exegete fallacy.

Are you being deliberately obtuse or does it come naturally?I didn't say a word about Jesus. I said YOU, jaywill, member of Evc forum. I said that YOU might be trying to con people or that YOU might be rube enough to believe the rubbish that you preach. Time has already told. Your misrepresentation of the Bible has been exposed repeatedly in this very thread. And instead of standing up for what you supposedly believe and addressing the criticism, you invariably run away. That does not seem like the behaviour of an honest man.

Or it could refer to jaywill, Faith and Phat.

A cold-fusion reactor that doesn't work "yet" is a failed cold-fusion reactor. It is a failure until it ceases to fail. You can't say it isn't a failure just because you really, really, really believe it will work "some day".

As I pointed out recently, it's not an isolated passage - it's a trend that goes back to the Old Testament.What's frustrating about you guys is that you don't think what the Bible SAYS is "enough" - you have to make up a lot of garbage like original sin and blood sacrifice to confuse the issue.

"This generation" might not be a calendar date but it's definitely a deadline - and well past its best-before date.

You're not reading it correctly. You're just making up what you wish it said.

We've been through that already. The Bible says a lot of things. You're just cherry-picking the ones you like.

Why not? He was prone to a lot of human foibles.

If Jesus wasn't susceptible to sin, there would have been no point in Satan tempting Him.

YOU didn't answer it. I pointed out that it only takes one ambiguity to make ambiguity.

Besides His tantrum in the Temple, He destroyed an innocent herd of pigs and he withered a fig tree. Anger seems to have been one of His weaknesses. He also used perfume on his feet - I don't know if that was vanity or just plain selfishness. He prayed to be excused from the cross. On the cross He practically denounced God for forsaking Him. Sounds pretty human to me.Seriously, you should know this stuff.

You said He had no human foibles. What could be more human than susceptibilty to sin?

No, they are not unambiguous in the Bible. I showed you the contradictory verses. The only thing that's unambiguous about it is your cherry-picked preference.

I gave you examples and all you give in return is unsupported denial. Pointing out that He was human is not denigrating. He's a lot more impressive as a human who resisted temptation most of the time than as a God who could do no wrong.
