Why would a high priest waist his time learning how to write when they were in control of the scribes?
* so high priests don't know how to write then?

* the words in the Bible, i mean... and i'm referring to the phrase "good wine"...

😱 such language and yes I have read the Bible many times, gone to church, talked in length with many religious scholars and I can site more references if you would like. 😉 I think you need to read the rest of that page and not just the one little part of it. 🙂
* many times, huh? and yet you bash it... tell me, is there anything in the Bible that you believe?

There are many people who do both. So, you are telling me that Jesus could not preach and write?

I have never told you, in this debate, what I think of Jesus. I never said anyone way an idiot. There is a big different between chanlenging your beliefs and conveying mine.

The power of writing is far greater then just preaching. Why let someone else distort your words.

This would not be something uncommon, however, some of the greatest leaders form the bible were scribes at a young age and then moved on to become something greater. Perhaps Jesus did this when he was younger, but then that leads to the question; why does the bible say nothing about this?

Deja~vu did not call me a Nazi. 😆 I once said that Hitler is being reincarnated as a chicken in a food farm, over and over again, as punishment. 😉 It was a joke, and Deja~vu is always poking fun about it. Kind of like you and donuts. 😆
Originally posted by peejaydI haven’t twisted anything, you say there is only one meaning of “good wine” and I have shown you many other versions of it and how it can be understood by different people and different cultures as well as backing it up with historical references. There is no way that anyone in that time could have known if any wine was free of alcohol just by tasting it.

I do not bash the Bible, it is only a book. I find the Bible to be a very important part of human culture and has many historical events documented in it but the supernatural part of it I do not.

No. In other words, human standards of measure are imperfect. 🙂How dare we, mere worms and dust, say to the righteous King of all creation that our judgment is superior to His?

😆 See what happens when you take things out of context. I was rephrasing what the person I was talking to was saying. In other words, their circular logic was leading to "god's imperfection is perfect". That is way I said it as a question.

* fair enough... so, what do you think of Him? do you think He's really illiterate considering you are challenging my belief that He's not?

* nope, in my opinion, writing and preaching are equal... both requires wisdom and knowledge... and it is actually much more difficult to preach than to write...

* it did:
"When the festival was half over, Jesus went to the temple courtyard and began to teach.
The Jews were surprised and asked, How can this man be so educated when he hasn't gone to school?"
John 7:14-15

* okay, if you want to put it that way... granting without accepting, that in that time there is no way anyone could have known if a wine is free of alcohol or not by taste... but it was still written as "wine"... and if we are going through its context, that specific "good" wine was created by Jesus through a miracle... the wine was miraculous... so maybe (for the sake of argument), it was grape juice yet it tasted like wine so it was written as "good" wine... fair enough?

* you believe the cultures, traditions and historical events in the Bible... but you don't believe the miracles and other supernatural things in the Bible, am i right? so how would you gauge the authenticity of the Bible? because you believe in some and you don't believe in some? 50/50?

but the Bible - although written by humans - was not written according to human standards... and also according to the Bible, there are humans who are considered perfect and righteous... 😉
