NoSCo's Bogus Journey

I actually sympathize with NoSC'o complaint that "[m]odern-day Christians" don't know the teachings of Jesus well. Problem is, neither does he! So I sent two of my classic characters from the 80s -- the Time Turkeys -- to arrest him following his lecture to Stick Figure Jesus. Yep, once again, NoSCo confuses his own anachronistic understandings based on "[Jesus'] words as they are spoken" with their meaning within their social and theological contexts. Dang.

NoSCo says: "Rather than admit that you don't actually obey Jesus' instructions, perhaps instead you could leave a comment telling me that I am ignorant, and that I could never have been a Christian." OK. I'll buy half of that.
Yes, you're ignorant. Hope this helps you learn.

I'm not Catholic, so I skipped the bit criticizing the Pope, though I have my doubts that NoSCo is applying that correctly too.

wow...It never ceases to amaze me how far are xstians willing to spin and twist the bible to make it sound okay to them.How can anyone believe that these and only these interpretations are the right ones,knowing that Christians in the past,trully devout Christians,were living there lives by completelydifferent rules,since a lot of stuff in the bible was taken literally..

@mastnejsalam wow...It never ceases to amaze me how various morons think that offering idiotic declarative comments about "spinning" and "twisting" and making goofball comments about different interpretations constitutes some sort of actual argument. But, when you're too dumb to actually show that someone's interpretation is wrong, I guess that's the best you can do.

Try again, and time strive to be less stupid and actually answer something in the vid.

[mastnejsalam]

@tektontv Well,not everyone can be as bright as you are.No need for me to be explaining anything,there are NO correct interpretations,bible is literal,why shouldn't it be?Why would a perfect being,creator and cause of everything who cares deeply about what people think ever allow different interpretations of his will in the first place?If you were god and cared about what things people believe about you,wouldn't you set them right?

[tektontv]

@mastnejsalam Why SHOULD such a being cater to willful human ignorance and stupidity, and give goofs like you spoon feedings? He gave you a brain. Either use it or shut your yap about any alleged problems you have understanding the text. The very fact that you don't bother to rebut anything I specifically offer shows you're just a whiner.

Those who "care deeply" don't spoil those who throw temper tantrums. Now either address a direct point in the vid or quit whining.

@tektontv They need to learn to read first :-).

@tektontv Forgive me. I got caught up in the moment. But Christ does tell us that what the Pharisees taught the Jews was true, and because of their authority, their teachings ought to be followed. Their hypocrisy shouldn't be, of course. But NSC forgets the first few verses that come before this popular image of the Pharisees.

@tektontv I think you may need to include the rules in every single one of your videos' description in all future uploads since no one seems to read them in your channel page, though I suspect even they will be ignored as a number of people constantly comment before reading the description box for more info. Or even before watching the video, for that matter. Sigh.

@SorokChyetirye Mind my rules -- 1 post at a time.

[SorokChyetirye]

@tektontv Ok, cool. I didn't see that before. :)

And you are also correct that NSC flubbed on the "wide phylacteries" part and all that. See, he forgot a few important verses that come before Jesus bashing the Pharisees. Matthew 23:1-3 (NIV) - Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

@SorokChyetirye I addressed all of it -- the points you refer to are discussed in supplemental material linked in the vid description.
