Exactly, we have no idea how it was pronounced. And as I said, I don't speak Hebrew. The English word is Jehovah.
> when you say of all his moral precepts "he knew we couldnt follow his words" you are saying his teachings were meant for an audience of no one.
If you're going to lie about what I'm saying this is going to be short conversation.
> first off, these are the words of paul, not jesus
2 Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
> paul is just saying you are first responsible for your own, which was historically interpreted not in the manner of a nuclear family home, but to mean your distant relations and friends as well, provided they were believers.
Which is exactly what I said.
> its your interpretation of it which abrogates christ which is objectionable:
Again with the christ. My interpretation of it is correct.
> you are interpreting your entire country as the same as your own household, which is an error.
You just said the verse didn't refer to only my own household but to my extended kin. Thus, not in error.
> I would read the entire commentary on this verse if I were you.
Yes, you would.
> jesus's words were similarly clear: take in the stranger. that means into your own home if necessary, and when I have my own home I will take in strangers if I have the room. I promise you this.
Except he never says that.
> immigrants aren't invaders,
Yes, they are. This has been undeniably demonstrated over the past 60 years.
> this is dehumanizing language.
Too fucking bad.
> do you give charity to the needy in other countries? I have.
I've never had enough for more than my own kin.
> this is a sophistic imitation of reductio ad absurdum.
Which is perfectly appropriate because your usage of the incomplete verse is absurd.
> paul meant that jewish and greek believers were equal, equal in Gods promise and equal in the church,
Which is not what you're saying as you proceed to demonstrate.
> and likewise you yourself should not have preferences for Jew or Greek, for Israelite and stranger, for authorized and unauthorized immigrant, provided the person has shown you no unfriendliness.
See what I mean.
> giving in excess is good, not taking refugees into your "homeland" is ?unbiblical.
And again you lie.
> its Gods opinion that the needy ought to be provided for when they entreat you.
The needy you're talking about are lying thieves. God opines accordingly.
