...Jesus did in that very circumstance which so far is obvious to everyone but you . On one side of the argument we have Christians , atheists , agnostics and a buddhist all united in the opinion that that Scripture is perfectly clear and on the other side we have you , backpedaling and obfuscating and standing alone . Why are you denying the recorded words of one of your own prophets ?

And you would be incorrect.



Crabs are just as delicious as lobsters. Probably 2 of the best foods ever.

When there is contradiction with the Bible and Quran, I cannot believe in the Bible's version. If an endless line of prophets prohibit pork and suddenly one comes to say "nevermind, God has allowed it now, infact you can have everything", I have to question it. There is no reason to suddenly allow food, unless pork evolved to be clean suddenly. The pork is not banned for the Jews because of a random restriction, it is because of its ability to spread disease and its poor digestive system as well as other things.

...yet you went so far as to accuse me of deliberately mistranslating the Bible ? What's with that ?

Haven't taken back my words either. Its not just you, and its not your fault. Christianity is a religion of traditional beliefs passed down by word. The text of the Bible has little to do with what Christians believe.

Yes, the source text for Christian teaching has nothing to do with Christian teaching.

...you don't have the first clue as to the method used to compile the NIV translation of the Bible do you ?

Has little* to do with.



Yes, I do, and its the guiding force or why people leave Christianity.
