"KenS, post: 5086962, member: 47847"]Do you always misquote? Twist what was said?
If a person of a Greek Orthodox church sacrifices a lamb and it is not in accordance to the mother Greek Orthodox Church... then it is the PERSON that did it and not the church.
So, once again you just proved my point."
Like I said, it must be nice to be the one who get's to decide that the members of the mother Greek Orthodox Church are legitimate Christians, but the offshoot church that still sacrifices lambs are fake Christians. I suppose that the members of the church that still sacrifices lambs don't get to decide that YOU'RE not a true Christian because you refuse to sacrifice lambs. This judging who are REAL and FAKE Christians is a power reserved for you alone, huh? So actually you just proved MY point. The members of the church that still sacrifices lambs consider themselves to be REAL Christians and that they belong to a REAL Christian church and might very well consider you to be a FAKE Christian. And until God comes down and clarifies the matter your definition of a REAL Christian is no more legitimate than anyone else's.
And just so you know, it's PEOPLE who make up ANY church and those PEOPLE after struggling to properly decipher God's Word are the ones that decides what are legitimate practices and what are not. That's why there are so many DIFFERENT Christian sects, because the people who make up the churches can't agree on what the TRUE Word of God is.
"To show how fickle you are in your position. DON'T KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE while you let others do it."
I can't for the life of me understand what you're trying to say here. What does your response have to with the reality that when YOU wanted to compare Canaan and Japan it's legitimate, but when I make a comparison between them it's suddenly apples & oranges? You're constantly trying to have it both ways and that just doesn't work.
"You just proved my point. PEOPLE twist things. But as the record shows, the message hasn't."
Yet again I'm forced to point out that this 'record' is in dispute. You after all were the one who pointed out that the 10 commandments were incorrectly interpreted. But then you make the truly ludicrous claim that somehow this error was the ONLY significant error ever found. I can post links to experts who disagree with you 100%. According to THEM the records shows that the bible is full of errors. Just like YOU have have no ultimate authority to decide who is a real or fake Christian, you have no authority to decide that ONLY the experts who agree with you are legitimate experts.
"It isn't that hard"
No, clearly it isn't! All you have to do is find experts who support your position and label any experts who don't agree with you a fraud! Then you can pretend like EVERYONE agrees that the bible hasn't been altered in any way over the centuries. Problem is EVERYONE can do the exact same thing. FAR better if God would just pass his Word on to each of us individually instead of forcing us to put our faith in the 'experts'. Then there would BE no 'translations' or 'context'... no depending on other fallible humans beings to pass it on correctly. That's what a GENUINE God would do. Whereas fallible human beings trying to twist reality to serve their own agendas are the ones likely to claim that God wanted His Word passed on via a form of the children's game telephone.
we will find out soon enough if we do
