And he doesn't know what the term "metaphysical certainty" means. It deals with deals with universal laws, mathematics, and pure logic, is proven a priori and can suffer no logical doubt. It exists independent of time, location, or human observation. Like A triangle must have three sides.
I never came up with any original idea, it's some thing in languages transliteration, when they are writing a a name or a word that uses letters that don't exist in the target language, like the letter "ח" doesn't exist in english as a letter or sound, so whatever why it's going to be written it will not be the same, similar when they write "ק" which usually done with Q. You didn't miss it, I am just a nerd.
the Greek is "σαβαχθάνι" and there is no equivalent for the Greek "χ" or for the Quf in Greek, transliteration between languages always he such problems, like trying to pronounce the welsh name "Llewellyn". or how "Ἰησοῦς" Iēsous in Greek became "Jesus" in English since Greek language doesn't have the letter "J" but it sounds lie "Y".
@LisaLiel@JoelWebbon He is a moron, but that been said "שְׁבַקְתַּנִי" shouldn't mean anything in Hebrew since it's Aramaic, in Hebrew it would be "עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי".
@VictoriiaMadrid@JoramvKlaveren Why it has a Greek name in the Quran? Why not the Aramaic name Basarata "ܒܣܪܬܐ"?
and what is the "Basarata" about it in the Quran?
@alejope10@idicenter I don't need luck, if someone proves me wrong by engaging with the arguments, I'll thank them, so far all I'm getting is confirmation from people like you who are avoiding the arguments, thanks for making my case.
so far you have engaged with ZERO argument I mad, you have produced ZERO counter argument. and now you rejecting reading the Scripture alone, but you rather go to human tradition. Thank you for making my point for me.
"Rejecting your invitation"
please, please, tell me what Is my invitation exactly, I would love to know, I am sorry if I shattered your tradition, but tradition have been wrong more time than I can list here. Peter Abelard lists 158 cases where tradition said Yes and no to the same question in his scholastic text "Sic et Non" I would advice you to read it.
"read the many parts that say we are no longer “gentiles”"
I would love to, do you know of one single verse in the whole of the bible uses that phrase "we are no longer gentiles”? or any phrase close to it.
If you're thinking about Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." It doesn't say we are no longer gentiles, it says "you are all one" which has nothing to do with the point I made.
But let me try to understand were you coming from. I am talking about the NT and only the NT and how it should be understood, and my only point is "The Charge of Antisemitism Against the New Testament: A Hermeneutical Failure" but apparently you seem to imply I am wrong, so you think the NT is an antisemitic document? I am not getting your point.
@alejope10@idicenter Because I dealing dealing with the New Testament where the term was used 90 times, maybe you should read your bible before commenting.
@alejope10@idicenter An Article, written by an Egyptian Christian for Christian audience, about what the new testament hermeneutically means, how is that related to anything thing you wrote?
@alejope10@idicenter conflating the Bible with modern geopolitics, and conflating the jewish people with a government. that is not a sign of clear or rational thinking. and not engaging a single argument I made.
thanks for the Biblical advice, that is why I wrote the article, to warn against Christian Pharisees who believe the written scripture is complemented by an oral tradition passed down through generations, which serves as a an authority. but may I ask you what position are you arguing for, I am a little confused here, all what I am saying reading the Greek scripture in it's first century environment it's a covenant document using covenant language and not an antisemitic document. that is the only point I am making, is that what you're disagreeing with?
"It does not mean all Jews." Therefore the term doesn't cover one group but more than one group just like "my people" does.
I am not sure actually what are you arguing here the whole point of the article stated in the title is "The Charge of Antisemitism Against the New Testament: A Hermeneutical Failure" so if you're arguing I am wrong, which you haven't shown, are you actually saying the New Testament should be read as an Antisemitisic document? or you're just arguing without knowing what you're arguing for? please state your own position as clearly as you can.
