None of that answers the following questions. Here they are again:



Is there any testimony in any of the books that make up the Bible that you've verified?



I put each's birth and death date next to their name, so I don't know how you came to the conclusion of 400 years. If you look at them, you'll see their testimones were written either between decades after Jesus's death, to a couple hundred years after His death, for most of them. What's your excuse now for not wanting to consider their testimonies?

Why are you hounding me to consider some mens writings that which you nor I knew ?
I don’t care the opinions of some ancient mans thoughts on whose dead peoples children were or were not, nor do I care if you think they worthy to spend your time reading their works.

Inanutshell…
Jews were chosen to hear, learn, and teach the Word of God…according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.

And for awhile, Jews traveled to Jewish settlements, preaching in synagogues to:
Jewish men, Jewish women, Gentile men, Gentile women.

Jewish teachers began appointing Jews and Gentiles in positions to hear, learn, and teach the Word of God….according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.

Jews in synagogues began reverting to teaching Jews in their synagogues Mosaic Law, while phasing out the teaching according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.

Gentiles, Men, Women, began teaching the Gospel of Christ Jesus, in homes, in gatherings, in buildings used as a meeting house, in buildings erected and called a church.

Some of the church buildings were very elaborate, ornate, and established counsels of a few men, who began making long lists of what their congregates should and should not believe. Some elaborated to include their Reasoning of Why the congregates should believe what they dictate and even concocted books for approved beliefs and their opinionated texts of WHAT the scripture means, WHY they should believe only what they say.

Sort of a clever scheme, making the BIBLE text of Knowledge second fiddle AND making the Express Language in Gods Approved Scripture, that ONLY the Lord God Himself gives individuals the UNDERSTANDING of His Knowledge, for naught.

A conundrum…
Men are curious creatures. Some men beg for the Understanding of Gods Word to be Proved to them, BEFORE they will even consider Believing the Scriptural text of Knowledge.

Completely Backwards…
Read/Hear Gods word of Knowledge…
Believe it or not.
Believe it? When it is the perfect time for you to UNDERSTAND the Knowledge. The Lord God Himself will Give you His UNDERSTANDING!


Job 32:
[8] But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

I'm actually asking two simple questions that I keep having to ask because you keep not answering. So, stop misrepresenting me and either answer them or tell me you refuse to answer them:

VERIFY, EVERY individuals testimony…in Scripture? LOL, no.

Is there any testimony in any of the books that make up the Bible that you've verified?

You have quoted indications of men who wrote their indications….what some 400 years after Jesus’ death? why would I consider their testimony?

I put each's birth and death date next to their name, so I don't know how you came to the conclusion of 400 years. If you look at them, you'll see their testimones were written either between decades after Jesus's death, to a couple hundred years after His death, for most of them.

Hi David ~ when people have basic disagreements any response is routinely criticized (less they have tempted you into agreement with them).
So, no issues.

Hope all is going well with you. It’s been a busy summer for us, and don’t see much change in the busy work in the fall.

God Bless you.

Take a hint from Jesus. When People asked Jesus a question He was not willing to answer, He didn’t answer their question.

How so?



How so?



How so?



I've proven that those you claim to have been Jesus's siblings were actually His cousins, so the word "firstborn" in Matt. 1:25 isn't used there in the way you think.

No one, including you, has refuted anything I said. In fact, you didn't even reply to any of my counter-arguments in posts #96 and #97, nor have you even attempted to refute my evidence that proves Jesus's "siblings" were the sons of Joseph's brother, Alphaeus, thus making them His cousins. Do you really think that makes you look like you refuted me?...

We had plenty of hot and dry. Regular breezes helped. When the cooler temps move in the Regular breezes continue, and not too pleasant for outdoor work.

But, yes, yes…Praise the Lord.

Glory to God,

Take a hint from Jesus. When People asked Jesus a question He was not willing to answer, He didn’t answer their question.

Don't use Jesus as a shield for your cowardice. His reasons for being silent at times weren't because He couldn't answer, unlike you.

You believe you have been enlightened with some private understanding of scripture.

How so?

...just another person on a forum pretending they have hidden knowledge that others are not privy to.

How so?

At this point you are ego driven, not looking for truth but merely trying to make a proclamation of your own prominence.

How so?

A child can understand
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS

I've proven that those you claim to have been Jesus's siblings were actually His cousins, so the word "firstborn" in Matt. 1:25 isn't used there in the way you think.

You have been refuted and proven wrong by many members.

No one, including you, has refuted anything I said. In fact, you didn't even reply to any of my counter-arguments in posts #96 and #97, nor have you even attempted to refute my evidence that proves Jesus's "siblings" were the sons of Joseph's brother, Alphaeus, thus making them His cousins.

Many , many have prepared a large table indeed . They have slaughtered the bull
and have given the cry for all to come and sit at their table of sacrifice .
Come and eat of our bull they cry , its the best tasting food you will ever eat .
But the lambs will not eat of the table of their prepared bull .
The lambs eat of the table OF THE LAMB , no bull for us , lambs eat THE WORDS OF THE KING JESUS .

So you believe Mary was a virgin her whole life.

Do you also believe…

Assumption of Mary," declared in the year 1950! In heaven, Mary supposedly intercedes for the church as "advocate, helper, benefactress, and mediatrix" (Catechism 969). She is made virtually a co-savior with her Son (Catechism 968).?).

Wow, interesting profession. Filled your request. We have 5 male goats we opened a section of woods to for relief during this hot summer. Oh ugh…they girdled about 15 trees. Have a sufficient wood pile and hadn’t planned to be adding more in the near future.
Had a few trees, already affected quickly from the heat stress. And had a couple of trees hit with lightening strikes.
You might see others outdoor plant / tree issues and offer your services to them…??
Just saying rather than spending $$ on bulk advertising.
Self employed is tough!

I can use Jesus’ examples any time I want!!
I have zero requirement to consider your requests or your accusations. LOL
