So give it up.

You just can't stand it that this verse may just be true, can you?

And you REFUSED to answer my question! How many cubits is the usable circumference of the bowl, Prof?

If the thickness is a hand's breadth as is shown in the subsequent verse, then what is the usable circumference of the bowl?

You can ridicule me all you want, but just answer the question first.

'Encompass' suggests an outside diameter.

OH?

Why?

If someone is going to describe the volume of something, it is the INSIDE measurement that is important. The outer walls could have been 14 cubits thick, but that still would not change the carrying capacity of the interior.

It seems to me that you are probably one of the people here most likely to have prayed for the Jews last night.

Shabbot Shalom

The poster claimed that Nazis were doing the Lord's work link; and that the Jewish holocaust victims brought the suffering on themselves by turning from God link; and that those victims are doomed to Hell forever link.

What are your thoughts on those claims?

I have given you ample opportunity to disavow my characterization of your expressed attitudes.

And I have given you ample time to say you have made an error, a mistake or even a misjudgement; but you hang on like a snapping turtle to your original claim, that I said those things in this thread.

You sir, are the wrong one to try to be pointing out other peoples errors.

My characterizations of your expressed opinions are accurate, as testified to by the fact that they stand repeatedly uncorrected by you.

Why should I have to 'correct' words YOU put in my mouth?

Audacity is thy name!

NIV Isaiah 5:20-21
20. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
21. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

The poster claimed that Nazis were doing the Lord's work link;

and that the Jewish holocaust victims brought the suffering on themselves by turning from God link;

and that those victims are doomed to Hell forever link.



NIV Deuteronomy 30:19-20
 19.  This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
 20.  and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
 

NIV Exodus 15:26
   He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
 

NIV Exodus 19:5-6
 5.  Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine,
 6.  you  will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."
 

NIV Exodus 23:22-23
 22.  If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.
 23.  My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
 
 

NIV Deuteronomy 11:26-28
 26.  See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse-- 
 27.  the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;
 28.  the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
 

NIV Deuteronomy 30:1-5
 1.  When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations,
 2.  and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today,
 3.  then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes  and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.
 4.  Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back.  (1948??)
 5.  He will bring you to the land that belonged to your fathers, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.
 
 
 
NIV Joshua 8:34
   Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law--the blessings and the curses--just as it is written in the Book of the Law.
 

NIV Psalms 37:21-22
 21.  The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
 22.  those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.
 

NIV Malachi 2:1-2
 1.  "And now this admonition is for you, O priests.
 2.  If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.

And you REFUSED to answer my question!

I did in post 1924, and you acknowledged my answer in 1933. So stop being a complete and total jackass. Or at least give it the old college try.

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter."

-Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

Because that's what the dictionary says: surround and have or hold within. The verse refers to the vessel, not its contents. It is therefore encompassed by the outer diameter.

I find it amusing you and your bud P Markowe will stretch the meaning of any word you can to try to make an obviously false statement appear true. If Pi can be three and 'encompass' mean something other than it does, why can't a day be 4 billion years?

As I stated before a cubit is an approximation and not an exact measurement, therefore your previous answer was incorrect. So what is the number of cubits? Hint: You have to round it off.

Oh yeah, I told you you could ridicule me all you wanted but I prefaced that with a request that you answer my question first. You didn't answer it first.

So before you call me a jackass again, please answer the question posed in post number 2004.

Your anticipated courtesy and cooperation will be much appreciated.
