Jonathan struggles to answer a simple Question!
Saturday, 11 February 2017
The Bible alteration is more recent than the introduction of the Happy Meal.
We have evidence of changes that
have been made to the Bible, which many Christians regard as the infallible,
untouched, and uncorrupted Word of God.
The key
question is, where can these alterations be found?
They are found within the Torah,
a text read by both Christians and Jews. Let us examine the relevant passages
and investigate the claim that corruption entered the text.
The New American Standard Bible is a
popular English translation, a revision of the American Standard Version of
1901. It was completed in 1971 and then revised and updated in 1995. I want to
highlight one major change in one passage of the NASB — a case in which the
1995 update alters — and is intended to reverse – the
text of the 1971 NASB.
Those
dates are important in understanding the reason for this change. …
----------------
Now, let
us look at the analysis of come critical Bible verses which have been edited in
the context of contemporary views on abortion which brings us to the text
I want to highlight here as another example of politicized distortion via
translation: (Exodus 21:22-25.)
Here is
how Exodus 21:22-25 read in the New American Standard Bible’s 1977 revision of
its 1971 original translation:
“And if
men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has
a miscarriage, yet there is not further injury, he shall surely be fined as
the woman’s husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide.
But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life
for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for
burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.” (Exodus 21:22-25)
You can
see how this fits in the context of the chapter. Here is another category of
victim for which another set of punishments for violence is given. If a
pregnant woman gets struck “so that she has a miscarriage,” but is not herself
injured, then the man who struck her must pay a fine. But if the woman herself
is injured, then the same rules and punishments for striking any other
(non-slave) person apply — “life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, etc.”
But here’s
the same passage in 1995 in the updated current version of the NASB:
“If men
struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives
birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the
woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But
if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for
life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for
burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.” (Exodus 21:22-25)
“So that
she has a miscarriage” has been replaced with “so that she gives birth
prematurely.”
Wait…
what? Why the distinction between miscarriage and premature birth with no
injury (presumably to the fetus/baby)? Because this change in the text
fits with the new view on abortion which started to pervade U.S. politics
starting in the late 1970s:
Here's
what happend :
something
changed between 1977 and 1995 — something that had nothing to do with
scholarship, language, accuracy, fidelity or readability.
American
politics had
changed between 1977 and 1995. It had polarized and radicalized millions of
American Protestants, rallying them around a single issue and thus, as
intended, rallying them behind a single political party.
In 1977,
the sort of American Protestants who purchased most Bibles couldn’t be summed
up in a single word. But by 1995, they could be: “abortion.”
And for
anti-abortion American evangelicals, Exodus 21:12-27 was unacceptable. It
suggested that striking and killing an unborn fetus was in a separate category
from striking and killing a “person.” Strike and kill a free person, you get
the death penalty. Strike and kill an unborn fetus, you get a fine.
And so in
1995, like those earlier translators who invented and inserted “Junias,” the
translators of the NASB reshaped this passage. “She has a miscarriage, yet
there is not further injury” would, in consideration of the changes in American
politics since 1977, henceforth be transformed into “she gives birth
prematurely, yet there is no injury.”
Politics —
specifically, the political desire to control women — shaped the translation of
that text. The translators changed the words of the Bible to
make it seem like it supported their political agenda. They changed the words
of the Bible so that others reading it would not be able to see that its actual
words challenged and contradicted their political
agenda. …
Conclusion :
So the
Bible is the “unchanging and inerrant” word of God Almighty, according to these
fundamentalists who “read the Bible literally”… until, apparently, it says
something that they don’t like. And then, what’s the solution?
Apparently, the solution is to change the text to say what they want it to
say. Isn't this sufficient evidence proof that the bible has been changed
recently.
Imagine
due to certain legal policy the words of the bible change!!
Doesn't
this remind you of what the book of Jeremiah said?
How can
you say we are wise and have the Torah when the lying scribes have changed it
(Jeremiah 8:8)

The (Real) Ten Commandments (EXPOSED)
Wednesday, 8 February 2017
Did King David and King Solomon have the law with them?
"When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests "
Nowhere did King David or King Solomon write for themselves in a scroll the law of Moses. Nor did they abide by the law which King David had instructed his son to keep and follow.
King
David did not punish his son Amnon for raping his sister Tamar why? Read 2 Samuels
13. Rashi says man can marry his step sister.
2 samuels 13:13
Because he will not keep me
from you. I am permitted to you because my mother became pregnant with me when
she was still a gentile, pretty woman5The laws concerning the
taking of gentile woman during war is discused in Devorim begginning in 21:10.
The Torah calls her a יְפַת תּוֹאַר, “pretty woman.” that Dovid took conjugally in war. And someone who has a son or
daughter from a gentile handmaid is not considered his child for any legal
matter.
-------------
Jesus of the NT did not inherit the throne
When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests (Deuteronomy 17:18)
If Jesus took the throne of David, Luke 1:32 when did he write his own scroll of law of the priest & follow it?
Deuteronomy 17:19 further states:
"It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees"

Are they all gods?
How can you even think of taking this book seriously ?

Yahweh could not preserve or protect his words/scriptures
| ------------ Extended Version ---------------- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, and not thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's. And when it so happens that LORD God brings you to the land of Caanan, which you are coming to posses, you shall set-up there for you great stones and plaster them with plaster and you write on the stones all words of this law. And it becomes for you that across the Jordan you shall raise these stones, which I command you today, in mountain Grizim. And you build there the altar to the LORD God of you. Altar of stones. Not you shall wave on them iron. With whole stones you shall build the altar to LORD God of you. And you bring on it ascend offerings to LORD God of you, and you sacrifice peace offerings, and you eat there and you rejoice before the face of the LORD God of you. The mountain this is across the Jordan behind the way of the rising of the sun, in the land of Caanan who is dwelling in the desert before the Galgal, beside Alvin-Mara, before Sechem (Exodus 20:17 Samaritan Torah) |
We can see from all those above versions, that Torah was not preserved as Christians claim. The original “13 scrolls” which was written by Moses is missing and no longer with us. Now if Christians believe all scriptures are God breathed and inspired then was Moses speaking the truth about Jews turning to Corruption! How about the Torah being distorted by false scribes, I'll leave that to you
---------------
forged books can't save you!
"But one point sometimes raised is that there is so much personal information in 2 Timothy, it is hard to see how it could be forged. Why, for example, would a forger tell his alleged reader (who was not actually his reader!) to be sure to bring his cloak to him when he comes and also the books he left behind?"This objection has been convincingly answered by one of the great scholars of ancient forgery, Norbert Brox, who gives compelling evidence that this kind of "verisimilitude" (as I called it in Chapter 1) is typical for forgeries. Making the letter sound "homey" removes the suspicion that it's forged. The personal notices in 2 Timothy....serve, then, to convince readers that this really is written by Paul, even though it is not."-----------------Critical scholars are not in complete agreement over which books Paul actually wrote, but the “Pastoral Epistles” (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus) are often rejected as authentically Pauline. In fact, these were some of the first books attacked by the critics. In 1807, Friedrich Schleiermacher, known as the father of modern liberalism,10 wrote a letter in which he claimed 1 Timothy must have been penned in the second century AD, because some of the language seemed to be an effort to refute Gnosticism, a heresy that flourished in the second century. Other scholars expanded on this idea and rejected the other Pastorals for the following reasons: the vocabulary used in these books is quite distinct from his other letters, the books do not contain Paul’s typical theological themes, they don’t seem to fit the chronology of Paul’s activities in Acts, and the view of church governance is too advanced for the first century.The first known attempt to canonize certain writings as authoritative scripture was undertaken by Marcion circa 140 A.D. His canon contained 10 Pauline epistles. He included all of the putative Pauline epistles in our canon (plus a couple extra). Notably absent, however, are 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus.Similarly, Papyrus 46, a codex of Pauline epistles from about 200 A.D., although damaged, appears to have contained all of the letters traditionally attributed to Paul, except for the PastoralsTatian in the mid-second century accepted Titus, but rejected 1 & 2 Timothy.
So the only verse which Christians use to support the authenticity of the gospels is FORGED !! Which means there is no other way to prove the authenticity of the gospels, thus it cannot be taken as the inspired word of God.How can you say we are wise when the Torah of the Lord has been corrupted by the scribes (Jeremiah 8:8)
Next time Christians please save yourself from the embarrassment of quoting 2 Timothy 3:16 as your evidence!Referencehttps://ehrmanblog.org/pauline-forgeries-2-thessalonians-as-a-test-case/
- 10 Ehrman praised Schleiermacher as “one of the most important Christian theologians of the nineteenth century [who] was famous for defending the Christian faith against its ‘cultured despisers’ and for developing distinct theological views that influenced theologians well into the twentieth century.” Ehrman, Forged, p. 95. From a conservative or evangelical viewpoint, Schleiermacher was definitely an important or influential theologian, but not for the right reasons. For example, he had “some serious problems: his experimental form of pantheism; his acceptance of Kantian epistemology; his disjunction of experience and doctrine; his contention that truth does not apply to religion; his reduction of theology to anthropology; and his acceptance of negative higher criticism of the Bible.” Geisler, Norman L. 1999.
