Twist, twist, twist, Chubby Checker.
So... you aren't trying to appear bullied and picked on... as well as being meek?
If you are trying to assert your prowress around the board, you might want to go after bigger game than me. I'm nothing more than an overly opinionated newbie with nothing to prove. Everyone here has already handed my *** to me in one thread or another. If you are trying to become a big dog on GF, go after another big dog. "Owning" me won't earn you any respect from the members as everyone has already "owned" me.
Kindly explain the point of that then, as I am ******* slow.
You toss out false accusations and expect me to drop it?
I didn't toss out false accusations. I said
Then we have the folks that claim to have read the "original" hebrew and Greek, but haven't bothered to look at the PUBLISHED dead sea scrolls or their photographs.
That is what I said, because that is what YOU said. You assumed that you were included in those folks, and rightly so. In the shoutbox you had asked what problems I had with the bible, I said I had never read it, as I don't know greek, hebrew, sanscrit or aramaic. You said you had studied greek and hebrew (as has been pasted many times) and went on to correct the accepted translations to mean something entirely different than the "accepted" translations. I continued to hound you on what you were calling "original", and you prattlled on about the massionic scholars and how painstakingly they transposed the original books, for you to "pore" over and retranslate for us uneducated. I deferred to your understanding and suggested it was much greater than mine, if you could indeed read the original languages from an original source and asked you to make a thread about such, that we all might benefit from your pious understanding. You told me to do it, after saying that you had not seen the dead sea scrolls for yourself, but that they were not in disharmony with modern "bibles", at which time I decided you were completely full of ****. I can paste the whole ******* conversation, but if people really care, they can go look.
I have nothing to prove but if you toss around accusations which are easily remedied by providing proof, you bet I will do so.
I have yet to see a shred of "proof" of anything. You just keep accusing me of picking on you and "twisting your words" by quoting them. What exactly do you think I have accused you of? Suggesting that you know more than you do? YOU DID. You didn't make anything clear about lexicons, you said you ""studied the languages, and when I submitted to your "clearer" understanding due to your "studied" languages, you walked with it. You did not make any sort of preface that you didn't really know what the **** you were talking about... you only gave me a better translation of the bible than that which is accepted by the other 2 billion Christians, and explained it solely as coming from your having "studied" Greek and Hebrew. Where and how much did you study them, while we are on the subject. I have a tourists translation book for Greek. I can say good morning and ask for the bathroom... have I also studied Greek?
I'm not wealthy. ****, are you wanting to kidnap my children and hold them for ransom or something? What logic do you subscribe to? I'm asking because I want to live in the world where being a business owner automatically makes one wealthy. Ever heard of the things called taxes, business overhead, or employee wages?
Im sorry... did you get the impression that I
believed that you were wealthy? No. I am suggesting that you
IMPLY that you are wealthy.
I'm in the process of selling one of my companies and Hubby is already talking about what he wants to buy.
Let us dissect this. In the process of selling... to the Revlon guy... So... he has MADE YOU AN OFFER? You have told them that you will sell for X ammount of millions and they are considering it? What exactly does "in the process" mean for the sale of this ONE, of your plural companies entail? How far along are ya? I suggest that you would like to be bought, but absolutely no offers have been made. Do you realize that owning a company that is WORTH x ammount of millions (even if it is in debt) brings your total assets (not liquidity) outside of middle class? I mean... you do understand basic math as you used to be a millionare and are to be again soon... right?
He wants a new ranch (he already owns two) and to invest a couple million in the stock market (a resounding **** NO from me).
I'm sorry. Are you REALLY trying to come across as modest here? Seriously... STFU. In context, not only do you imply wealth, but you brag on it.
Allow me to explain one last time. If someone looks up each individual word in a Spanish-English dictionary to create the sentence I love to eat strawberry flavored ice cream and they know nothing about the language, their outcome will be very different from someone who is able to translate the sentence when they are aware of the rules of Spanish grammar. That is what I was implying when I said "studied it." I am not fluent but I know the basic rules of grammar, verb-subject agreement, and idiomatic challenges. I am not fluent, I still use the assistance of lexicons, and I know the basic rules of grammar which help me understand the Bible more in depth. What is so complicated about that? Are you one of those types who believe everything is a conspiracy?
Allow me to explain in words of just one syllable where I can. Either you are using lexicons and trying to defy biblical schollars who have dedicated their lives to the study of this, based on your "study" of gramatic principals of Greek and Hebrew... or you are simply touting the work of biblical schollars as your own. Either way it is arrogant and deceptive.
In case you are uaware... you come across as a lying braggart, and then defend yourself with this obsequious servile victim **** when called on it. Don't poke the ******* bear if you dont like getting your *** kicked. The bear isn't oppressing you out of cruelty, the bear is just being a bear.
