Re: My study on logical fallacies.

If it doesn't apply to anyone aside from those gathered there at that time, why is it in the Bible? Why have they been wasting paper in the KJV for four hundred years?

Are you saying some scripture is not profitable for instruction in righteousness?

Unless the point of the Scripture quoted is that there is no random Scripture.

Also known as "Christian discernment", that baffling ability of otherwise intelligent people to delude themselves into the fantasy that an unproveable Being powerful enough to create this universe in its wondrous complexity would give a shit when they lost their piffling car keys or whether they make that touchdown pass or especially where they choose to stick their Johnsons (consenting adults only, of course). Yup, I ain't got that.

I don't recall agreeing that? When I was talking about the "Jews and other Bible believers", I meant those who would be responsible for enforcing the death sentence for all non-believers (frankly, your talk about the "state of the Midianites" just confused me; your knowledge on that subject is probably far greater than mine but I don't claim to be a Reverend on the internet).

As to who would be condemned by this Scripture, I see no reason for limiting it to apostates (those who forsake their religion). In the "those who would not seek" wording I see the implication that the opportunity to seek the Lord God of Israel must be offered, but nothing that says it must be accepted and then rejected before execution is Biblicly justified.

This is getting tiresome.

An account of an oath voluntarily taken by particular people does not bind every human to that oath, any more than Jepthah's oath to sacrifice the first thing leaving his home after his great victory binds every human to do the same.

Are you next going to suggest that Acts 2 requires all Christians to be Communists, because the apostles shared their goods?

Acts 2: 44-45

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

You 'reach' more than Richard Simmons.

Bible says: 2 Chronicles 15:13 "That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."

Dead Didymus, No matter how often i can agree with your opinion, and no matter how often i aswell disagree with you, i must say that here you crossed the line !!!

I am as most know former Christian, turned to the other side.... Or lost.... or whatever you will call it.

HOWEVER i have NOT recived any death treath, i am indeed still alive, i get a few negative responses here and there, but what i foremost experiance is the fact that theese nice people try to teach me and convince me, not by treath me (well they say i will burn in hell, but this i take more as a promise, and its from God and not them !!)

What you are doing is saying that theese people is ready to kill you if you dont believe in their God..... May I inform you (even that you have been on theese bords longer than me) that this is not moohslimes that will force you to believe in God by force, theese people will explain to you, they will help you, they will retry and retry, but at the end of the day, they will let the decition be up to you;

Will you belive in God and become saved
Or
Will you NOT belive in God and become punished.

They explain it to you, BUT the choise is yours...

Re: My study on logical fallacies.

Nor did I ever claim such. But an oath taken by ALL of the true believers of God of the time, then printed in a book that claims to be 100% profitable for instruction in righteousness, does seem to have been given more weight than "oh, it's just a nice story for the kids".

I'm also surprised that all of the other times I've mentioned this Scripture, with my interpretation being at least heavily implied if not clearly stated, no Landover pastor has taken exception? They seem happy to admit that they would really like to honor and follow God's wishes to the letter (ie. kill all unbelievers where found), but have their hands presently tied by secular legislation.

Which other parts of the Bible that you tell your congregation to ignore?

...Are you next going to suggest that Acts 2 requires all Christians to be Communists, because the apostles shared their goods?...

Next time there's an inane thread in desperate need of derailing, I'll keep that one in mind.

. . . and yet you're using it in answer to OP's question, "what would you do if you found a non-Christian in your neighborhood".

Being deliberately obtuse is not the same as either debating or discussing.

Then I answered correctly, if not completely? Thank you.

Do you live for the opportunity to vex people?

God will not be mocked. But if you do mock Him anyway you burn forever.
