you also claimed to have gotten your HS diploma, or a GED or somthing , in JV . . . so whats true now



so many lies you cant even keep up with them . . .when people turn 18 they no longer go to JV
I did get my diploma in Juvy, when did I ever say I was 18 in juvy? I think you're pathologically ignorant of things said.

Non sequitur?How so?
Or are you meaning "oxymoron"?Such as in "biblical truth"?if so,yeah...I get it.

1.The King James version of the bible says "thou shalt not kill".
2.The King James version is a bible.
3.All bibles say 'thou shalt not kill".
That's a non sequitur.

Finshaggy wants to discuss(?) the King James version,I'm assuming it's one he owns,and has knowledge of.No big deal.I was just pointing out that other versions are better translated.But even two of the oldest witnesses(the codex alexandricus,and codex sinaiticus) translate to "murder" not "kill".
No. It's a incorrect translation of "Thou shall not murder."

I might be misunderstanding ya.
I think we might be saying the same thing? That the KJV has a incorrect translation of this verse.
No matter what it doesn't go along with the Bible. Whether Moses said "Don't kill" or "Don't murder" doesn't really matter, because he himself MURDERED a slave driver, then went on to be the destruction of thousands of lives after that.

Moses was defending another man from being beaten.Don't know if I would call that murder.
Anyways Finshaggy,I'm not a bible apologist,nor am I a christian apologist.I follow a more exegetical approach to the bible(historical and textual criticism).
I know all to well about the contradictions,interpolations,and redactions in the bible.
My post was meant to inform you of the fact that the King James version is not reliable for that passage(among others).As I said before,it's no biggie.Just trying to show you that other versions have a better translation.NASB for one.
But ya know,to each their own.

Murder is murder. And what do you call it when Moses tells his people to splatter Babylonian infants on the rocks? I'm glad you're not a Christian, but pray tell why it matters whether the Bible said "Do not kill" or "Do not murder". Who gives a fuck?

As it may have already been posted a dozen times in other threads,,,the bible was written by man of course,so in turn it is a structure for control over masses,IMO.Without it there would be to much chaos for any perceived monolithic dominance and no sort of hierarchy for mankind to start "civilization".Morality dose exist within man in a setting void of religious influence, as this may be very well determined by the will for survival of the species, yet it is fear of the unseen that allows man to be manipulated into a plethura of subjegational aptitudes,furthering the perceived importance of reward and punishment as the outcome of actions taken by the followers or non-believers in their lifetimes.Why else would the bible exist only to be ammended ad nauseum?

Damn dude! Anger problems?
Who gives a fuck? I guess the only person who would make a thread titled "Biblical Truth",then get pissed off when he found out some "Biblical Truth".

And for the record,I didn't say I wasn't a Christian.I said I wasn't a Christian apologist.
You want to attack the fundies or the KJV-onlyist.Be my guest.I'm not part of that crowd.:fire:

Apparently he can't fathom the difference between "not killing, vs not murdering".

The difference doesn't matter when in the SAME book of the Bible, the man that said it tells people to splatter babies on rocks.
