    well, or you just couldnt hear, which i understand ok. No son of man may die for another’s sins, still a contradiction as far as you are concerned, yes? Which i could even give you the progression; one usually starts by saying “it doesnt really say that,” or iow ignoring the spirit of the v...

    and where does Hermen come from lol well, at a certain point when an unclean spirit comes out of a man might be associated with our notions of salvation, perhaps? And you kinda have to put together how Jesus’ followers often did not recognize Him, and the cleaning the outside of the cup stuff...

    Ha well, idk if i could say anything that you could use right now, Scooter, sorry. We approach the Bible with biases, preconditions, beliefs…Paul puts it like having trained your senses to distinguish good from evil, where is it, 14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have...

    So before one gets to Legion, i guess they have to understand the one about one’s last condition being worse than the first, 24When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25On its...

    i love how he uses “we” there, kinda reminds me of the milk/meat passage where he makes eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge sound like a compliment lol um, Rev 21 i would prefer to get into in a diff context tbh, but imo you cant just ignore the rest of the Bible, the parts that dont...

    The Bible tells us that wisdom is hidden from the wise; who are they? Its hard (impossible) to caste yourself as the villain in a story, innit When i realized that Legion was about believers, a lot fell into place after that

    So, despite the fact that “to be” was never written, youre just gonna tack it on there anyway? you dont think thats maybe kinda dangerous? although you gotta give Paul credit for the “confident” and “would rather be” parts, huh? yikes, even

    well ty, but i have no beliefs, at least concerning the past or the future, and “faith” is a verb to me rather than a noun. And just since you mentioned it, any credible evidence might persuade me to become convinced otherwise, i test everything I suggest that that “knowing” is even contrary to...

    Which fwiw the “seeing” there is theaomai rather than optanomai, dont get me started lol, but anyway 2300 theáomai (from tháomai, "to gaze at a spectacle") – properly, gaze on (contemplate) as a spectator; to observe intently, especially to interpret something (grasp its significance); to see...

    the faith of the Centurion is well remarked upon, yes, and despite what i wrote below i wouldnt want to be perceived as belittling that, ok; believe that for as long as you like, and imo do not be easily swayed away from it, even well, not yet anyway only that would involve standing there...

    Prolly kind of hard to see how the 500 is us i guess, huh? Or why seeking to make Jesus “real” is…not going to satisfy. Anyway, 500 is pretty few, imo, and i bet they arent standing there looking up into the sky lol. Understand the ego driven motive for seeking to make Jesus literal, imo, and...

    hey, i understand what you might be going through right now, ok? Since denial only gets one so far, i mean. So if that is still working for you, that is great imo, but when it stops working you might contemplate the possibility that Yah just has a better idea…which does unfortunately involve us...

    Funny how ppl can be talking back and forth, but there is no communication, huh? Ive learned to rely on witnesses, but in these cases it usually comes thru back channels…i guess bc ppl identify with their online persona, and dont want to be perceived as taking sides? Im oblivious to that stuff...

    so, i dug up this book on Bible numbers from like forty years ago that i somehow managed to hang onto bc i thought it was gold at the time, and you know what? Its all reading like crap to me now, lol. Or i mean not completely useless, but mostly just one guy’s impressions, seems like. Why are...
