Thank you! Something concrete. This directly contradicts scripture which tells us that you do form a one flesh when you lie with a harlot. Treating a woman like a prostitute still makes her your wife. So your whole argument is completely...

Where is it in scripture that taking a wife without the father’s consent is stealing? That’s my entire point. This isn’t a concept I see in scripture; the frankly ridiculous idea that a father owns his daughter.

I’m not sure what your criticism is. I agreed that idolatry was a sin, its own sin, a clearly defined sin. If bad theology is also a sin then it should also be a clearly defined sin like idolatry is. That seems logical enough.

The problem most English translations have is the word "perfect" - which does NOT mean precisely what some think it does, "utterly without any flaw whatsoever," or similar. The original Hebrew word is "tamim" (used almost 100 times) is often...

Hey! Welcome back!!!!

This conflation becomes much more clear if one understands the English word that is missing, and why. And it requires some connections that don't get taught. But once you see it, the pieces fit, and "it can't be UN-SEEN." There is a difference...

I don't 'agree' that Zec even knows the meaning of 'sin' - much less 'idolatry.' Or "theology". Or, evidently, even "logic."

So you agree with me that idolatry is its own, clearly defined sin and not the sin of bad theology? So do you still claim that there is a sin of bad theology? And if so, where is it laid out him scripture with it’s definition and punishment?

Thanks for the clarification. I think you and I are on the same page in the same Book. :) Those who are righteous have been justified through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (cf. Romans 5:12-19). Yes, we were born sinners, and sinners commit...

I had always be Thank you for chipping in, I appreciate that much. I do believe fully in the bible scriptures you mentioned that speaks about persons being counted as righteous through faith. There are righteous people in this world today, but...

I’m sorry, where is the Scripture about stealing being ok if the man can’t block someone from taking from him? I’m sure that you have quoted it multiple times, but please humor me.

I've recently read the entire story from its origin with the Levite and his concubine. The fathers could had retaliated, but the text doesn't say they did. The Benjamites had already suffered extreme losses, and their whole tribe was at risk of...

Another scriptural example - probably less mentioned - but it’s in Judges 21. The men of Benjamin needed wives. Due to certain circumstances - the other tribes were not able to give them any women for marriage - without breaking a vow they made...

It starts in Genesis - the man was made in the image of YAH - and it’s the man that was created to have dominion over the earth. The man even has rulership over the women within his household. The rest comes from other instructions. A little...

And remains there until he gives her to be under another's authority unless, of course, he's died. If someone steals something it doesn't change the rightful owner's ownership or authority over it.
