Deuteronomy 18:15 - The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet ...Deuteronomy 18:15That classify as a Mosaic book ? RoR, will I convert you into a Christian by discussing this with you ?I dont think so. So, why would you like me to preach to you something you can find out with enough time and effort on google ?Jesus, like most rabbi's was fluent in the OT. That he would 'misquote' the OT (as your topic suggested) is indeed laughable. Most likely you and Rei (note how quick Rei is to agree to any Biblical criticism on ToE) and others dont know the text well enough, or dont care to understand the text.I'm off on a 2 month holiday in a weeks time. I'll leave you with some advice.1. If you dont believe in the Biblical text. Feel free, your choice. Just say ' I just dont believe it ' and get on with your life. Christians wont get angry at you. I have Athiest friends that ... just don't believe and its their choice! Just don't go under the pretense that you care to discuss the text... we have too many here already 2. Searching on google for 'errors in bible' will only confirm your belief that the Bible is junk.3. If you do find something you dont "understand" or think is an error, ASK, dont imply. Your topic screams "I dont want to believe". Few Christians will even take the time to discuss it with you. Do a search on the web. Otherwise, join a Christian forum to help you out, or search for that specific passage online.4. Learn more about the Bible and Jesus. Read up about him. I can recommend some excelent books.5. Eventually when you join the 'The Canon and all Christian Scriptures have been mistranslated, doctored and fixed' , keep in mind that HAD it been altered, surely all these 'discrepancies' you now mention would have been cleared up... LOL. You can lead a horse to water...Welcome to the forums RoR.Z

I dont get angry that fast RoR, but when you've been around here a while, you pick up patterns pretty fast. What if I cant clear up all the problems you have with the Bible ? You think I dont have questions about the Bible ? At some point you have to have faith. If you dont, everytime you someone mentions a problem you've not encountered, you have to abandon your belief. Not a great system to go by. Hopefully you've taken aboard some things I mentioned in my previous post. Remember not even the most educated of pharisees understood all the text, Jesus had to explain alot to them. When you find Christ, he can give you the answers. But expecting to find them all before you accept Christ, shows a lack of faith.Spend time searching for the answers yourself. But much as I hate to say it EvC is probably not where you will find your answers. You dont need to buy the cross reference.Hosea 6vs2 "He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him. " Sure,
stay wellZ

Textual accuracy is implied by 'apparent' contradictions in script. Where questionable script arised, it was not altered to make a more believable story. Mat 13 vs 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.I've shown RoR the answers as best I could.If he chooses to accept them, great, if not, there is little further I can do. The idiom thus applies.
