So you don’t like the word of God? You edit and rewrite. That’s what’s going on here.
The left likes to do this. For example, they take the Bible verse which says “Blessed are the peacemakers” and use this to criticize the American military. They take admonitions to help the poor, to mean that we need socialism to help the poor among us with elaborate government programs.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was right, but that's probably the point of creating a separate identity for the Jewish people; to reject what their captors and those around them had considered normal. To hold themselves to higher standards.
The Bible is not a piece of bestselling fad writing to be revised by people following the current fashion like a diet book that goes out of style.
You shall not add anything to what I command you,or take anything away from it, but keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God that I enjoin upon you.
Deuternomy 4:2
This goes far beyond misinterpreting scripture for your own ends.
This is about creating an academic smokescreen that will permit scripture to be REWRITTEN to say something it does not actually say.
Several years ago the Catholic Church engaged in similar mental gymnastics in order to get away with rewriting the Eucharistic Prayer from “Only say the word, and I shall be healed” to “Only enter under my roof, and my soul shall be healed”.
They Vatican was looking to take themselves off the hook on physical healings (even though from the context of the original scripture that is exactly what the Centurion was praying for). So they engaged in this same sort of scholarly hocus-pocus to justify that change.
I insist on saying that prayer the old way.
We need a photo to headline each gay agenda article like the photo of Goebbels that OldEconomyBuyer posts for globull warming stories.
Who could that be? Harvey Milk? Gavin Newsome?
How soon until Commie Popie Frankie cites and supports this?
Perverts have been trying to justify their particular perversions since the dawn of time!
Revelation 22
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The mainstream protestant churches have openly embraced gay and abortion, leaving behind all that has always been Christian.
They don’t like what it says in the Gospels, so they just ignore what they don’t like and create for themselves a God in their image.
Yep. They incessantly and unwittingly parrot the two lies of their father:
"Hath God said?" and "You shall not surely die."
Didn’t they try this a few years back with the “queen james bible”?
God does allow man to deceive himself. This kind of attempt is laughable, coming from a “scholar”, but it shows the grip and power deception can have.
God not only allows self deception in the wicked, He actually sends them a “strong delusion.” (2 Thessalonians 2:11)
This is Romans 1:18-end in a nut shell. How do people end up this blind? God gives them over to a reprobate mind and “good becomes evil, and evil becomes good” (That’s Isaiah).
Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
“’Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.
Evil people will always give you (what they think is) a good reason they should be able to do anything they want.
It’s up to reasoned good people to object.
I have no idea where/if you are going to Mass but everywhere I have been the prayer has always been, from my childhood memories (and I am 55) on:
"Lord I am not worthy to receive You but only say the word and I shall be healed" (still inadvertently comes out that way occasionally)To me the meaning is exactly the same, it now almost exactly mirrors the centurion's(maybe Longinus) prayer just swap son for soul. It puts me in the centurion's place, unworthy and begging our Lord to heal my soul as if I were asking for the urgent healing of my son(or daughter). I do both regularly.and now is:
"Lord I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed"

Should I take it that the Dr. Dershowitz is himself gay? This kind of effort doesn’t doesn’t come out of thin air...
Simply put - the man is damned, and by his own words.
