I did. I see that you are making this same comment to others who have similarly included the quotes they are replying to, so your remarks are quite frankly... baffling.
This is irrelevant. If the supreme court justices interpret the constitution incorrectly, their ruling nevertheless is authoritative over all the land. With time, future supreme courts will straighten the matter out. It is not up to the president or congress to give the supreme court the finger and say well you are wrong so we are going to ignore you. Authority to whom authority is due. Is that not what your own NT says?
I think it's because she has Skywalker on ignore.
Just want to ask a question, not quite on that subject. Here's the question: I was reading Genesis chapter 3, and it came to mind if you actually believe the 5 books of Moses were written before books of Isaiah or Hosea. What do you think? Do you believe that the first 5 books were written before the other books in the Tanach?
Oh, ok, thank you. I didn't realize that I had him on ignore. I'll put him on unignore asap. Thanks. (Sorry, skywalker.)
You forget that the children of Israel are a physical people, a living nation. For us these laws have functioned as the law of the land.
Yes, they were written before the prophets, but not in the form we now have them. They were edited into their final form in Babylon. You should google the Documentary Hypothesis. It's good background to know.
I realize these writings of Moses were not in the form we have now. But thanks for answering that you believe they were written before the prophets.
Who's debating? Either God lets us know NOW (while we're alive) what will happen in the future or He keeps us in the dark. (Ignorant.) And I don't think He will or wants to keep us all in the dark. One big reason being what Moses wrote about what God told Adam about the penalty for disobedience. It's death if you do, and life, not death, if you don't eat the fruit. It's clear.
It depends on who is being taught and who is listening. And what is being taught, and how they see and teach it.
You are. Your posts insinuate that the Jewish view is baseless. I'm not interested in debating the matter.
OK, it's almost like the ToE and people refusing to acknowledge intelligently what's there or not there, and since you have that viewpoint, just as I have a cousin who is an orthodox Jew and he will not discuss religion with me no matter even if it agrees with him, because I am a woman as well as not Jewish, I'm getting used to it. But! as my aunt says without explanation -- "That's how it is."
Thanks anyway, though.
Don't debate. Jesus quoted from the Hebrew scriptures. He didn't think every view was baseless.

give me a break. As though I've never discussed/debated anything with you. But hey, if that's how you prefer to spin reality. So much for acknowledging things honestly.
You know I don't care what Jesus said, right?
You should care what Moses said. Also Isaiah and Hosea.
Being you said you don't want to debate -- I'm not sure what you were referring to -- I'm thinking there are so many opinions among many groups, and much of it is based on family acquaintance as to which group one adheres to. I was just reading in Numbers about the Israelites and their encounters with the Moabites before they entered the Promised Land. Ah well -- it's a tough one.
The topic here is why you don't accept what the Bible says about jesus. So I would think you'd be willing to discuss that. Maybe you did and I just didn't see it. But again, out of respect for you, I won't push.
