Did I say tribe? No, I said clan. "Ok someone out of the clan of Bethlehem Ephratah, shall rule Israel. Christ didn't come out of the clan Ephratah and he didn't rule Israel. So far not so good."
The scripture clearly refers to the clan of Bethlehem, who was the son of Caleb's second wife, Ephrathah (1 Chr.2:18, 2:50-52, 4:4).
A noted Bible scholar such as yourself, clearly knows the difference between a Clan and a Tribe. And you clearly know that the scripture is referring to a clan.
Therefore I can only conclude that you were intentionally lying when you set up the strawman implying that I was referring to a clan.
I caught you lying before GodZ and now I have caught you again. I guess that makes you a serial reprobate doesn't it.
I have never pretended to be a Biblical scholar, unlike the Christian ignoramuses around here.
< And misquoting the verse doesn't gain you points either lg. There is nothing in the passage that refers even to a 'clan'. Even a wussy atheist like yourself should be able to see that those words do not appear in the text.
Tis a good thing you are not a bible scholar lg - you'd be on 0bama welfare.
So in regards to lying - inserting 'clan' into the text where it doesn't exist. But why should you care - you have no God to be accountable too. And for accusing me of lying what is the evidence? There is no evidence of a clan being cited - evidence points to geography lg -
Bethlehem Ephratah, to distinguish it from another Beth-lehem, which was in the tribe of Zebulun, Jos 19:15.
Geography, not clan
I'm not lying - you are.
