LOL.
If your explanation was worhty I would have accepted it.

All you ever do is bob and weave and add to scriptures.

You did accept it, you just haven't admitted it to yourself yet. Proof of this is the sound of crickets that follows my explanation of what the English word "perfect" which you are hanging from is actually a translation of. Or better yet a standard personal attack reply. In any case, nothing resembling a cogent counterargument.

Let me attempt a Greatest I am interpretation of my own fictional writing.

Greatest I am is a talented biblical scholar completely accurate to the original text! To quote Wizard 1:3 "Greatest I am is a meticulous scholar of the Bible, pulling out great gems of insight into God's character and commandments."

Wizard 1:1-5 in full below

Wizard 1
This Guy is Freaking Crazy
1 This is the bull**** fictional writing of Wizard-50 of the dominion of twoplustwo. 2 In this I will show that Greatest I am is horrifically inaccurate in his biblical scholarship. 3 Greatest I am is a meticulous scholar of the Bible, pulling out great gems of insight into God's character and commandments. 4 This is what Greatest I am would have you believe, but in fact he's just pulling a verse intended to show a biblical truth not relation to his own false application of the verse. 5 Please do not let his BS turn you away from Christianity and the Bible.


I think it pretty well reflects your biblical scholarship.

I just love to have people talking about me.
Keep it coming boys.

When I am attacked, it shows that what I say cannot be.

You guys are making me blush. I love it.

Thanks.

I do prefer to speak to issues and morals though so you all might try speaking to those.

If you think he's pulling the quote out of context that badly, you had basically two options, it seems -

a) post more context on the passage and help others with a fuller understanding

or

b) post an elaborate personal attack that probably took way more time, doesn't explain why you feel this way at all, and makes you look like a dick.

Apparently we're going with route (b) in this thread?

From experience the A route hasn't worked, so I went with B. It didnt work either. There are of course more than 2 routes. Now I will take C. Put him back on ignore and not let his endless rhetoric bother me.

I read that pretty much as everyone else. Man has dominion over the other living creatures on this Earth, but God has dominion over man and I don't see anything in that passage to indicate otherwise.

Yet he is not around exercising that dominion.

Man is and if honest, you will admit that you follow man's laws as I do not see any human today as silly or immoral enough to follow God's laws.

Dominion belongs to those who take it. Not some absentee God with poor morals.

BTW. If God has dominion here, then the sacrifice of Jesus is a lie as Satan had nothing to temp Jesus with and Jesus die not deny that Satan had dominion to tempt him with.

Your way kills the temptation.

I feel like we've drifted way off track of the point of the thread.

He exercises that dominion by allowing only the "saved" to enter heaven. He has dominion over our eternal souls and your existence after death.

Firstly, I don't believe in God, but a great many people follow, or attempt to follow, God's laws to one extent or another. Most Christians take the quote of Jesus not replacing the old law, but fulfilling it to mean they don't have to follow the Old Covenant proscriptions.

Not sure what you mean here. Dominion could be taken in one sense, but given God's ultimate power, we are unable to "take" anything from him. It must be given, which our dominion over other living things on the Earth was.

I don't quite follow you here. God has dominion wherever he chooses. Christianity says he's provided us with a path to salvation while giving us the choice of whether or not to accept it. What else should he do? We can all be tempted.

What do you mean my way?

If Satan does not have dominion here, then he cannot offer or tempt Jesus with what he does not have so the temptation was a farce or a lie.
