Mark used Jewish time and John used Roman time. John mentioned that the preparation day was when Jesus was crucified. Preparation for the sabbath BTW. Next!

[ProfMTH]

@j919or All the gospel writers use Roman time in their gospels.

"John mentioned that the preparation day was when Jesus was crucified. Preparation for the sabbath BTW."

You should pay attention to what your Bible says. John 19:14 (cited in the video), "Now it was the DAY OF PREPARATION FOR THE PASSOVER; it was about the sixth hour. And [Pilate] said to the Jews, 'Behold, your King!'" (emphasis mine).

Act smug and pompous now but those in the know realize you are a fool. I hope you are truly happy and "successful" in this life. How pathetic it would be to not be happy in this life and be condemned to boot. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so incredibly tragic. Have a happy eternity...oh, that's right. You won't.

[ProfMTH]

@jblglw "You sir will die in your sins and be judged with justice and not mercy."

You've posted that about 10 times now, which officially makes you a one-trick pony. Since that's all you've got and you've posted it so many times and you can't seem to control yourself, I'll bid you good luck and so long. Have a nice life. It's the only one you've got.

[jblglw]

If it wasn't so sad it would be amusing to see such an arrogant no-it-all fool mocking people who claim to have a saving faith in the messiah Jesus. You, sir, will die in your sins and be judged with God's justice, not his mercy. You, sir, will be judged especially harshly because you not only have heard, understand and reject the gospel message, but choose to mock those who do believe and try to convince the weak or younger christians not to believe.

[ProfMTH]

@jblglw "Your 'aha. you can't answer my question!' act is juvenile."

I know it must bother you that I've exposed your inability to answer the question about what you said and, in the process, shown you don't know what you're talking about here, but there is need to waste your time and mine with irrelevant blathering about your fantasy about my being punished and "mocking" you. I haven't mocked you; rather, I've tried to engage you in discussion (one for which you're clearly not prepared).

[EddTheBiker]

@psburningman You misunderstand. Basically, what the statement means is that the NT is verifiable as accurate/original in the percentage of 99.5. The other 0.5% is the text that is not currently verifiable as accurate and original. This conclusion is made through the use of a manuscript base of more that 24,000 with 5,686 in Greek.

[psburningman]

@EddTheBiker wrote, "The NT is 99.5% textually pure. I have no reason to doubt it's accuracy. "

I thought God was 100% perfect and the bible is the inspired word of god.

how do you explain the imperfect .5% ?

[psburningman]

@EddTheBiker wrote, "The punishment is a severe as the one of whom we offend. "

Sounds more like Saddam Hussien .

Hey! Maybe they're related? Both came from the same end of town...

i'm just sayin...

[psburningman]

@jblglw I suppose that if your daughter one day was all pissy and told you to fuck off you'd kill her, right?

Yep, trying to convince EVERYONE that chrisianity is FULL OF SHIT. And people are listening !

[Ryakki]

@jblglw

Perhaps the bible and other religious books are a test, and all the contradictions with themselves, science, common sense, each other, and historical record doesn't mean that they're fake, perhaps it's all a test by God to see who can use the powers of reasoning he gave us the best, and be skeptical of such obviously seemingly false and ridiculous claims!

Perhaps there really is a heaven, and only atheists can go!

That's at least a theistic claim that makes sense!

[EddTheBiker]

@Devilot109 Because He is holy, righteous, and just breaking His law is a transgression and worthy of punishment, just as stealing or murder will result in punishment by a judge. Moreover, He is not only the Judge but also the one of whom we transgress against. Because He is infinite, the punishment must also be infinite. The punishment is a severe as the one of whom we offend. Yet, this same Judge also offers mercy and gives grace through Jesus Christ should you repent and believe.

[EddTheBiker]

@carlsonap16 I don't believe your conclusions are accurate. Can you tell me what manuscripts and early church father's writings of which you consider evidence for the book of John being in error?

[carlsonap16]

@EddTheBiker no not according to Bart. I don't base my conclusions on scholars, i base it on my own independent research. the evidence is overwhelming both by manuscript support as well as ancient historical verificaiton in the church father's writings of the two different manuscripts circulating. one says 6th hour another says the correct reading. the church father explicitly said that both versions circulated, and mentioned in passing that the ones that read 6t hour were inferior.
