@residentreformr@garrettham_esq lol yeah just rip it out of its cultural and historical context and literally translate the words. Not recognizing the Semitic cultural influence on the gospels just because they’re written in Greek is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Semitic semantic range matters. Neither Hebrew or Aramaic have a distinct word for cousin. Brother is the word used to refer to male relatives in these languages. Look at Semitic translations of the OT into Greek they use adelphos for cousin. You’re missing the cultural context
Here’s what the Bible actually says:
“Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?”” Mark 6:3
Adelphos: brothers
Adelphai: sisters
Interestingly, anepsios is the word that would have been used for “cousins” and syngenes for “kinsman.” If the writer meant to use those words, that is what he would have said. He didn’t. He called them His brothers and sisters.
@MasterMaliq@samwellsg Do you honestly believe that? The Muslim sources say you can beat your wife to a point. Aisha wrote about a woman who was beaten so bad her bruises were green. She even admits that no women are treated worse than Muslim women
@MasterMaliq Nuns choose the contemplative life and take a vow of celibacy. Muslim women do not choose to wear that it’s mandated by islam. They are also under the rule of their husband often times marrying someone they don’t choose. It’s called oppression b/c it’s oppressive
@ma1ybe His point was you talk about it without a basic understanding. One need not have a uterus to know abortion is murder that’s just the genetic fallacy.
@ProvoPolice Excited to see your department get gutted and all officers involved throw in jail. The people of America deserve honest law enforcement that puts the truth above all else. Your current department doesn���t deserve to be officers. The American people now know it
You know......
Regarding the latest Reckless Ben Video (Pt. 3) and the Bricks and Minifigs Case:
Detective Medina Dore (Provo PD) is being sued for wrongful death after she withheld a man's overdose from hospital staff and took him to jail instead — where he died.
@peanut_buttr@JTDyani@TheDJ_King Sure, the atheist must argue that logic is man-made but if they are man made the laws of logic could have been different. This is self defeating. Atheism is self defeating when looked at from math and logic
