Ticks drop from trees and come in on dogs. If you get bit by a deer tick that has lyme you get it. One small bite can ruin a life. You say, "respect the creation". I don't.
This: "You breed ticks to later make genocide imagination of pol pot ?" is a wonderful sentence.

Yes nature provides all the lust for good and bad , and death . The environment God provided was good , balanced , perfect . Humans could of been good and still remain equilibrium .
Nature provides all the lust .
But now soon ticks be seven feet tall and built like predator needs little more Fukushima lol
Why the sumarian take unbalanced icon for God , was not god that create unbalance ?

How do these arboreal ticks know when a dog is in the right position for a drop; tiny Norden bombsights?

Anyway, "jot or tittle" was just part of an archaic translation of "I ain't changing ****."

Jot means to write quickly. I have no way of knowing if anything in the Bible was ever jotted. I think not.
Tittles are marks like over an English language small I. It would make sense that a person should know the right Bible tittles because
a tittle can change the meaning of a word in some languages.

My Great Grandparents associated these words with Isaiah 28:7-13.

The words come from Matthew 5:

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Interesting.

It says the word jot, is iota, and means a small amount of something.

And the word tittle, is keraia, and means something horn like, that is, (specifically) the apex of a Hebrew letter (figuratively the least particle)

My Great Grandparents associated it with Isaiah 28:7-13. Which also talks about the Law.

Isaiah 28 uses zeh-ayr' = little, and qav = a rim (curve) connecting cord, figuratively a rule.

Kav is simply a line (the reference in this verse is to a plumb line which establishes a moral center -- they have one for idols which they use to replace the proper one).

I do not know every jot and tittle in the Bible. I know that nobody knows every right written word.
Then the argument goes that if some of it is not right then what good is all of it?
Look at it like a person. Nobody is perfect in every way but all people are still worth knowing a little or a lot.

What are you having a problem with, pertaining to the Bible? I know you have referenced the Greek text as well, what isn't clear?

I think I do not have a problem. Someone asked me how I know what of what is written is true and what is false. Someday I might have a problem. Can I look you up then to ask you?

Sometimes an idea comes into my head. I want to examine it so I google the words to find the scripture. Thank God for an army (poetic justice) of languages. Do you know what that means? It means that people want to know English so this English girl has a good and easy time looking up stuff. It is always there on page one no scrolling.

I do it for vocabulary too. I might know the word but I need its essence. There it is! Page one, no scrolling.

God might be jealous of Google. I don't know.

Yep that is basically what it said, - a line, connecting cord, figuratively a rule, rim, etc. It says it is from Qavah - to bind by twisting together., and mentions kav-kav - meted out.

I was thinking it was being used in the meted out sense which would mesh with little bits.

In other words that they are teaching the law in little bits - metered out, - rather then the whole law in context, - causing people to get conflicting understandings, and ultimately to fall back.

Something like?

Isa 28:13 And become thus to these, YHVH's commandments, (just) precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule, a little here a little there, and because of this they move forward and then stumble back, and are broken and ensnared, trapped.
