Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 23 2010,16:44)So were the Jews lying in the Torah when it says that God finds homosexuality to be an Abomination.If this god does not exist, yes. If he does, he needs to clarify.

Wrong again. If I raise someone in an area where gangs are prevalent, the likelihood of that person being in a gang increases. If I raise someone in an area where Christianity is prevalent, the likelihood of a person accepting Christ goes up. IOW, what is in your social network influences you.

No doubt. You just cannot stand to be wrong, can you? I have shown you the connection of Jesus to God in the Christian text. “Monogenes” is only used to refer to the genetic offspring of another. Now you may say that God has no genetic material, but the concept is the same. By using “monogenes” to refer to the relationship between God and Jesus,…[Read more]

None of this has anything to do with why two women are needed vs one man for testimony.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 22 2010,02:29)You still never told me what aspects of life you feel women and men are not equal.They are typically not equal in physical strength. They are typically not equal in the ability to nurture children. Yes, men are different, in many ways, but that does not mean they can not be viewed as equals. You keep arguing…[Read more]

*sigh*Sometimes I think you argue for the sake of arguing. Do you just despise being wrong?”the son”. There, in lower case. The fact is that there is a relationship there, with “the father and the son. Not “a son” but “the son”. Accompany this with Jesus being referred to as “monogenes” — which is always used of genetic offspring in the Christian…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 20 2010,15:07)Actually STU and yourself used the term “Worth” and put a value on it.There could be other reasons why 2 woman would be needed absent another man. For instance a women has children and has many other things to do where she might not remember as well. So two women could certainly help each other remember…[Read more]

You still don't get it. It may not be socially acceptable for many things in a broad society, but social capital has more to say about what goes on inside of social networks. If your social network consists of many gays and lesbians, then gay marriage is acceptable. If your social network consists of many gang members, drive-by shootings are…[Read more]
