It's become a habit of yours to overlook the corrections where you errant and to post outlandish statements without a ounce of supportive statement to back your claims.
I have pointed out time and again what you were interpreting in the Bible was incorrect. On that note of supportive statements, as you insisted, by all means provide us with evidence to support your latest claim as I quote you:
"My interpretation of Paul is that he is a scoundrel who tricked people into seeing Jesus like how the Greeks and Romans saw Mithras and I can adequately provide arguments to support that."
Let's see your evidence of Paul trickery.
Good morning Brother Keith. And what makes you think that you are interpreting the bible the correct way? How many times the bible has been rewritten and reinterpreted? Who is to say the facts of the bible or any religious book are true? I have seen documentaries where events quoted in the bible are attributed to god when in fact they were natural phenomena..like parting of the Red Sea(wind) and Sodom and Gomorrah(meteorite disintegrating after it hit the French Alps). Who knows!
skeldon_man that's your problem you watch too many documentaries, why not search out the truth for yourself, read the bible it's going to set you free.
This is a common misconception. Some people think that the Bible was written in one language, translated to another language, then translated into yet another and so on until it was finally translated into the English.
Here is how eloquently Matt Slick put it, "The complaint is that since it was rewritten so many times in different languages throughout history, it must have become corrupted. The "telephone" analogy is often used as an illustration. It goes like this. One person tells another person a sentence who then tells another person, who tells yet another, and so on and so on until the last person hears a sentence that has little or nothing to do with the original one. The only problem with this analogy is that it doesn't fit the Bible at all.
The fact is that the Bible has not been rewritten. Take the New Testament, for example. The disciples of Jesus wrote the New Testament in Greek; and though we do not have the original documents, we do have around 6,000 copies of the Greek manuscripts that were made very close to the time of the originals. These various manuscripts, or copies, agree with each other to almost 100 percent accuracy. Statistically, the New Testament is 99.5% textually pure. That means that there is only 1/2 of 1% of all the copies that do not agree with each other perfectly. But, if you take that 1/2 of 1% and examine it, you find that the majority of the "problems" are nothing more than spelling errors and very minor word alterations. For example, instead of saying Jesus, a variation might be "Jesus Christ." So the actual amount of textual variation of any concern is extremely low. Therefore, we can say that we have a remarkably accurate compilation of the original documents.
So when we translate the Bible, we do not translate from a translation of a translation of a translation. We translate from the original language into our language. It is a one-step process and not a series of steps that can lead to corruption. It is one translation step from the original to the English or to whatever language in which a person needs to read. So we translate into Spanish from the same Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. Likewise we translate into the German from those same Greek and Hebrew manuscripts as well. This is how it is done for each and every language into which we translate the Bible. We do not translate from the original languages to the English, to the Spanish, and then to the German. It is from the original languages to the English or into the Spanish or into the German. Therefore, the translations are very accurate and trustworthy regarding what the Bible originally said."
skeldon_man, I how that helps clear up your misconception of the bible. Read the Bible you will get revelation and be enlighten.
