Have you learned nothing from the story of Jesus?

The following verses have been taken out of context and strung together to say something which the author probably never intended:

And now for something completely indifferent:
Here wm calls me a fool and tries to treaten me with the wrath of God.
quote:
Psalms 14:1 & Romans 1:18-22.
On a hopeful note, wm continues to explore truly fundamental clues.
quote:
You never did explain how at Genesis 1:2 the word 'earth' is really referring to a land region when the land doesn't rise above the waters until a later verse.
Modern creationism claims that the land rose above the water. Scripture suggests the exact opposite. Gen. 1:9
I have pointed out that "Jehovah" is not credited with creation in the First chapter of Genesis (the text in question). I suspect that you have not responded because it would open a can of worms regarding biblical theology.
quote:
You have still failed to successfully rebut any of the scriptures I posted.
You have not responded to the rebuttals I posted. Repetition of this complaint does not qualify as a response. Instead of answering my rebuttals you have attempted to mock my scholarship, curse my faith and denigrate my personna. This too, does not comprise an answer.
But your attempt to assassinate my character was wonderfully venemous! I re-post it here to entertain the potential "cloud of witnesses" who may wish to observe your godly conquest of the heathen.

You twist scriptures and ignore the context in a fruitless attempt to support your assertions. In fact in writing the above exposing you as a fraud, I probably didn't go far enough. If I was to peel away all the layers of lies wrapped around you, what would I find in the center? Probably someone else, a lying conniving atheist using a false persona as a 'Bible scholar' in a desperate attempt to discredit the word of God. Your methods, aims and lack of understanding all point to the very real possibility you are a total fraud, not just in your ridiculous anti-biblical claims, but also in who and what you claim to be. In short to sum things up, I can quote you.

Sounds like a man at the end of his rope, willi. But, nevertheless, feel free to quote me.

You apparently think that "God" and "LORD God" are the same character, even though the first narrative (chapter one) doesn't even mention "the LORD God"; not once. Your "Jehovah" is that "LORD".

... your apparent failure to understand simple scriptures is an act. ... you feel guilty or at least recognize the wrongness of this masquerade.

What I do understand is that you demand Space Age scientific definitions for Bronze Age poetic lingo.
quote:
wmscott
The key point was "atheist using a false persona as a 'Bible scholar'" which you have failed to rebut.

Ad hominem attacks do not need to be rebutted. Your failure to gainsay my analysis of your evidence is adequate portrayal of my facility.
quote:
wmscott
I went out on a limb and made a charge against you that ... you are ... just some "lying conniving atheist using a false persona as a 'Bible scholar' in a desperate attempt to discredit the word of God."

Whining and complaining ad hominem is not debate. How can a man discredit the "word of God"? Is your god so fragile that he cannot take care of himself?
quote:
wmscott
Since your misunderstanding of basic scripture is just an act, there is no point in my continuing to respond to your posts. ... You have based this interpretation solely on your standing as a Bible scholar, which has also been disproved. In short, there is nothing left to respond to.

Yadda, yadda, yadda; ad hominem, ad nauseum.
'And thus, mumbling insults, one sore loser leaves the fray, wondering how his opponent can put so much faith in linguistics and so little faith in ignorance.
He goes forth now to beat his dead horse elsewhere; before audiences more appreciative of his dead-horse beating routine.'
