"After 1920 when Jews migrated to the area"

. but the Jews were illegal immigrants, Dr J.

"Just read it normally. If it makes sense literally then it probably should be taken literally."

ah, so you see my point about the "way a man lies with a woman" undermining your argument, then.

Whoops, gotta give props to some peeps:

(Echo, you're a treasure!)




Math, you're also a rare find!
This place ls lots more exciting than the other thread!
LMAO




Sorry BB but this is not proven fact yet, though it certainly seems to be the case.

Wrong, they were there already. They were there all during the Ottoman rule which was for several hundred years. As per the British Mandate the post-1920 immigrants were NOT illegal, that was the purpose of the mandate. Get your facts straight.

I haven't time to go into this, but anyone who knows anything about history will know that the Jews occupied that land long before the Palestinians. They were the ones who had it stolen from them.

So God actually spoke to someone who acted as his secretary and wrote all that -um- stuff? Or did he write it himself? Or did God speak individually to a bunch of people?

Rev. Alan

It was not me who quoted that. Have a look up. However, the Lord did revoke the food laws in Acts 10.

Well God Bless you Dr Jeffreyo. You are one of a few people who sees behind the lies promoted by anti-semites and Palestinian extremists. In this country, Israel is made out to be a monster which has siezed Palestinian land. But history paints a very different story.

Dr Jeffreyo

When you write a letter, who does the writing-the pen or you? You do of course. The pen is merely the instrument you use. It is the same with this. God used Moses, Paul, Peter etc as His instruments to write down His letters to humanity.

"Wrong, they were there already. They were there all during the Ottoman rule which was for several hundred years. As per the British Mandate the post-1920 immigrants were NOT illegal, that was the purpose of the mandate. Get your facts straight. "

I disagree; there were illegal immigrant at the end of the 19th century until prior to the Balfour declaration. . However, I do not wish to enter this discussion and withdraw, leaving you the field. I only have time to do so much and I should not have digressed into this subject as I do not have the time or inclination to pursue the matter. Have some instead.

I actually thought Dr Jeffreyo had been satisfied with boring everyone stupid about this on the God thread already . . . but no! He's here to keep on. I really think he should start his own thread about this topic and stop hijacking other threads everytime someone mentions the words 'jew' or 'israel' (just a suggestion).

"When you write a letter, who does the writing-the pen or you? You do of course. The pen is merely the instrument you use. It is the same with this. God used [biology, geology, chemistry, physics] etc as His instruments to write down His [creation]."

I'm sorry but I don't believe that Acts 10 says anything about the food laws.
Simon Pater's vision was about food but that was not the meaning of it. The vessel was put before him three times, the same number as the number of people sent by Cornelius the centurion, and when he refuses to kill and eat the food the voice says in verse 15 'What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common'. And in verse 28 he says, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

So I believe it's about man not food!

'So I believe it's about man not food!'


It is about both.

You believe what you like and I'll believe what I like!

I beleive that the Lord Jevus came to me in a vision, and I have accepted him into my heart. Am I saved now?

'Just read it normally. If it makes sense literally then it probably should be taken literally.'

Okay. Genesis doesn't make sense. It must be metaphor.

'And Genesis, as any (or at least most)Hebrew scholar will tell you , should be taken as histroy.'

Bullsh1t. Most Hebrew scholars from Oral-send-me-8-million-dollars-or-God-will-strike-me-down Roberts University may tell you that, but those particular Hebrew scholars don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Certain bits of Genesis are apparently pretending to be history (such as it was known in the ancient world) and other bits are clearly meant to be history in the same sense that Hesiod's Theogony is meant to be history.

If you don't accept that you don't know dick about scripture or the divine.

Good News: so, you figure the two creations of humans are history and the wooly lamb is metaphor? Why? Because your fascist 'Hebrew scholars' tell you so? I guess the Bible ain't meant for all of us after all.

My Old Testament scholars tell me that you're blowing wind. But then, they didn't go to I'm-gonna-hold-God-for-ransom University like yours seem to have.

Good_News, I'd like to ask you how you explain fossils, I'm just interested if you use the same argument which I have been known to come up with when playing, if you'll excuse the phrase, devil's advocate

Well, very little of the Bible makes sense to me literally. It doesn't make sense that someone could be reborn after they've died, even if they are the son of God. It doesn't make sense to me that God can be represented by a burning bush, or that the world was created in six days without any regard for evolution. It doesn't make sense that the world started out with only one man and one woman and now we have 6 billion people in only 6000 years.

Therefore none of that can possibly be taken literally, right?
