Re: Jacob was a 'trickster'
Whoops, Nonukes, you dont know much bible nor the principles of the bible..
Jacob could obviously take on more than one wife, and the second one (Rachel) was the one he served seven years for and not for Leah...the first daughter of Laban. Dont you know this....
(Cant mention the seven year period as it isn;t allowed HERE because we can not discuss Daniel and its exactness)
Daniel9
Matter of fact, the tribes of Israel (Jacob) came from the sons of these two wives and their two handmaidens or slaves...
IE... the twelve all equal, from different mothers (4) were legitimate descendants of Jacob who became Israel, or who received the new name ISRAEL.
Ill get that article of mine for you.....
Puity we cant discuss Bible sexuality.... HEREIN as I am not allowed to suggest any new topics. But if you do it, I will explain much much further.....
Go to New Proposed Topics, and state your question or questions....
If we built it, they will come.

Did I dispute that issue Davidjay? No I did not. Go back and read my post.

I'll note that the rest of your post does not respond to anything I asked you about. Not going to bother with you any further.

Re: Jacob was a 'trickster'
Perhaps you will point out where the Lord told Jacob that it was okay to trick Laban and to take on that second wife. That would be interesting to see given that some folks have claimed that the Lord does not promote bigamy.
I will answer further and further, because of your insistence on deeper and deeper answers.
Jacob fulfilled the week of service (7 years) for Rachel, his second wife, and finally got the wife he originally wanted, yet had to stay married to and take care of Leah. Jacob worked hard for a change and was starting his repentance....... but had to serve another 7 years for the sheep he was to take with him and his woves and handmaidens and children.
Jacob was learning faithfulness and honesty and hard work...... but he had never apologised to his brother Esau.
But the birthright blessing of their father to previously tricky Jacob, was and is as always due to his hearts decisions and choices rather than a mere given birthright and gift.
Blessings come from our personal decisions and is not passed on through blood lineages. It may dictate the cards we get dealt but does NOT determine our decisions. One was taken the other left principle, it all depends on choices, choices choices... and Jacob turned into Israel in heart and so the Lord renamed him...Israel.
If you have other questions just ask... rather than ******** *****.

Re: Jacob was a 'trickster'
Nonukes, dont say 'some people say' but say what you say and feel and want answered directly. Be straightforward rather than tricky.
If you are talking about bigamy, thats a great and lengthy and worthy discussion... not a one liner..... but simply put a man (or woman) can have more than one wife (or husband).
Read about Jesus, and the parables of his concerning multiple wifes, etc etc etc etc.....
Read about the patriarchs as most of them had more than one wife.... etc etc etc etc..
If you want further discussions start a new TOPIC on that subject as they hate it when I suggest a new TOPIC, as they know I will attempt to answer all responses biblically and scientifically (IMHO)

First of all, it says in Isaiah 53 that, "For the transgressions of my people was he stricken". Seeing we know that Israel is God's people here, you have Isaiah saying that Israel was stricken for the transgressions of Israel, which is a strange grammatical way of saying that Israel suffered for its own sins. Also, how can Israel be an offering for its own sins? In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices were made to atone for the sins of the people of Israel. That is the point here. The messiah is that sacrifice.

Re: Where Is Cleverbot When We Need Him?
OK, but I didn't just want to paste the content of the link, which in essence is what I would agree with. Anyway, it's our prodigal son Guido and he is quite religious, so I was giving him something to chew on.

Still don't get it do you
You have been a member here for almost 19 years and still don't understand the rules?
5. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
