No, YOU try to avoid false accusations. Like, Jewish leaders despising others, etc. This guy McArthur constantly makes statements which are misleading, even bordering on slander. I don't care if you copied and pasted it from the book itself, his text is full of innuendos and inaccuracies about Jewish law and practice. What is the difference between "Jewish leaders in JC's time despised other people" and "Jews despised other people"? Aren't "Jewish leaders" Jews?
Clearly you missed where what you claimed he said was shown to not be what he actually said.
Yes, Jewish leaders were Jews, but Jewish leaders in Christ’s time denotes a very specific subset of Jewish people and is not making a blanket statement about all Jews as saying “the Jews” does.
He was very specific about who it was who he claimed despised others, while your response indicated that he blanket condemned all Jews everywhere for all time.
"CLAIMED" is the operant term. This guy has absolutely NO proof of what he claims, he's just smearing the Jewish leaders of the time.
There’s plenty of proof in the gospels.
Well, they weren’t too happy with the Samaritans.
Just speak it, as no one can tell if you’ve misspelled it then.
We try.
A pair of Irish ditch diggers were repairing some road damage directly across the street from a house of prostitution.
They witnessed a Protestant minister lurking about, then duck into the house.
"Would ye look at that, Darby!" said Pat. "What a shameful disgrace, those Protestant reverends sinning in a house the likes of that place!" They both shook their heads and continued working.
A short time later they watched as a Rabbi looked around cautiously and then darted into the house when he was satisfied no one was looking. "Did ya see that, Darby?" Pat asked in shock and disbelief, "Is nothing holy to those Jewish rabbis? I just can't understand what the world is coming to these days. A man of the cloth indulging himself in sins of the flesh. T'is a shame, I tell ya!"
Not much later a third man, a Catholic priest, was seen lurking about the house, looking around to see if anyone was watching, then quietly sneaked in. "Oh no, Darby, look!" said Pat, removing his cap and crossing himself, "One of the poor girls musta died...."
But I love thypos
And don’t have talk to text.
And they call it a smart phone...
