Simple...and not important. :)

"Can you explain how the comma issue impacts on keeping the Ten Commandments, doing, behaving, performing "love thy neighbor as thyself?" Not as a mental exercise, rather as an essential function of day to day life?" Look, I understand, folks have to believe / understand something, belief...

If that's what works for you, and helps you to treat others as you wish to be treated, then I am not one to argue with it. Nice dodge on the other post. ;)

And καὶ said εἶπεν unto him, αὐτῷ (definite article) ὁ Jesus Ἰησοῦς Verily Ἀμήν I say λέγω unto thee, σοι To day σήμερον with μετ me ἐμοῦ shalt thou be ἔσῃ in ἐν (definite article) τῷ paradise. παραδείσῳ Luke 23:43 Interlinear To my way of thinking, whether it was "today" or...

Bingo. Arguing over this and that accomplishes nothing. What we do with our beliefs is what matters. We will know more conclusively when the time comes, if it even matters at all.

According to some there is scriptural evidence. I'm not fussed about it, to me it is simply another point of contention to divide.

Now I'm confused. So the commas are in the Greek, and the New Testament being quoted was written in Greek, but the commas are not in the original Greek? How is this not contradictory? These are the kinds of dead end arguments that polarize some and drive others away. Can you explain how the...

And none of this holds any bearing on salvation. Either we believe and behave accordingly, or not. Emphasis on behave. Once again I invoke the teaching of Hillel; the Torah standing on one leg.

Your point earlier is that there are no commas in the originals. Period. The commas are English translators' whim and fancy, in an attempt to make it read better in English. No more, no less.

Just a point of note, breaking of the legs was to hasten the inevitable. Remember, the High Holy Sabbath was preparing to commence. Hanging for days with broken legs is stretching credibility, particularly when one takes into account the effects on the body of crucifixion. The subject slowly...

This is why I came to the conclusion that arguing over the placement of a comma is pointless. How long before we end up discussing Holy bowel movements, snot and earwax?

Wouldn't that be the word "ruach" (sp?), not "nephesh?"

I have to get older, I refuse to grow up

For a head of lettuce I am ancient, for a mountain I haven't even begun, for a man I am just right. (stole that from the movie Remo Williams)

No emergency, just concern.

Context. What you've written is true in a general sense, particularly dealing with indoctrination, religious or otherwise. However, what I wrote which drew the response was neither ambiguous nor allegorical. Since the subject was logic, and logical terminology was used, if one has a snarky...

Perhaps for you or I. For very many it is all the rationality they need. Let's not confuse rhetoric for logic.

Does that include failing to comprehend the written word? Another syllogism...
