And I showed you that the verses you quoted don't back up what you're saying. I've asked you to name a single other person anywhere on the web who agrees with you. You have none. Your ideas are crackpottery. You have not used God's word to prove your view anymore so than you've used God's word...
I don't "refuse" every verse I see, you are the one who refuses the fact that there are other interpretations that actually go by the plain reading. You are the one who accuses any and all scholars and commentators of being "Goofy" and "attacking God's word". You have absolutely no concept of...
In this case, I'd say the charge of fraud in the Temple Scroll is basically nil. There's nothing really that would indicate this to be the case.
Do you accept the possibility that all claims of Jesus's alleged Essene faction being against Animal sacrifice being fraudulent?
The word "God" is pretty much only ever used for the Father.
Questionable verses like John 20:28 have explanations such as how even in the Dark Age it was regarded as an Exclamation rather than an addressing.
I have used scripture each time, and you said I am right, but then when I point out to you that the verses you are using don't reflect what you're saying, you tell me that I have to get verses to disprove your interpretation which doesn't at all remotely back what you're saying.
What you're...
I don't think you're even worth responding to anymore.
You have absolutely no desire to be rational, debate, or think logically. You've already admitted I was right on each point of contention so far, then you went back to resisting, and now you're just digging in on something you can't...
Exactly.
Each of the commandments is either about love of God (i.e. Sabbath, dietary Laws, Sacrifices, holidays, no idolatry, no marrying pagans, no blasphemy, etc.) or love of Neighbor (No stealing, no cheating, leaving aside a corner of your field, donating to the poor, etc.)
This concept...
Refute what? I'd love to see you actually address anything I post when I do refute you. You've already admitted you were in error more than once to me, but then went back to resisting. It's like the Demon of Ego is so fierce with you, it can't even accept when you yourself admit you're wrong! In...
No, you're going deep into nonsense and your ego is bursting but you can't accept the possibility that you've been wrong all this time and lying to yourself.
How painful was it each time you said "You are right" to me?
Oh that link totally disproves the Temple Scroll and blows it right out of the water.
I'll bet that guy who looks like the hamburglar in Rootbeer Tapper one day came and slipped the Temple Scroll into the Qumran Documents and then started giggling as he thought of all the chaos it was cause...
Unfortunately, it seems 99% of Christians who quote that verse think otherwise. They seem to doggedly resist the idea that "all the commandments hang on those two" means they all stem from them and aren't "replaced by".
As for the Reform movement, this article gives a much more detailed account:
The Tenets of Reform Judaism
So that's that, they view the Law itself as "Divinely inspired" but stresses "individual study". It was "written by Human hands" (something I agree with as well) but "Divinely Inspired"...
There is absolutely nothing that indicates he didn't accept all of the Written Torah. What he didn't accept was Pharisee interpretations.
For instance, on the law of Divorce, what he said was absolutely no different than Shammai.

Jesus really wasn't...
You definitely have a propensity to quote verses that have absolutely nothing to do with your claim, in addition to insisting on interpretations that not even any of the classical commentators agree with.
Carry on.
I highly, highly doubt the "Modern Essenes" are anything close to the originals. I doubt they're even Torah observant.
I don't necessarily doubt that there's a connection between "Nazareth" and the "Nazarenes" in terms of them being a particular religious community, but I wouldn't be asserting...
I did refute them.
You're not really addressing what I say or making any sense. Whatsoever.
I guess when God gives commands to the Israelites, it was pointless since they had no control over it, and when the Psalms say that those who choose to do God's will will be blessed, it's rather...
"Hey Adam, even though you can't do anything about it, I command you to not eat from the Tree, even though I'm going to make you eat from the Tree anyway, and you can't do anything about it, and then I'll curse you and your descendents for it because it's all part of my plan, and make you suffer...
Okay, so that was your answer as to why he offered the question. So God just cursed Adam for something Adam had no control over and was just being all rhetorical. Fascinating.
And no, I don't think Satan was the Snake in the Garden, the "Old Serpent" is something totally different, but that's...
For Freak's sake, here it is for the FOURTH bleeding time:
"Why would God even tell him not to eat the Fruit if he had no free will, and why would he send Cherubim to guard the Tree of Life."
