Consider the following text from the bible..Mark 7:8-13
Note words with emphasis laid on them

Mark 7 Good News Translation (GNT)
8 “You put aside God's command and obey human teachings.”
9 And Jesus continued, “You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching.
10 For Moses commanded, ‘Respect your father and your
mother,’ and, ‘If you curse your father or your mother, you are to be put to death
11 But you teach that if people have something they could use to help their father or mother, but say, ‘This is Corban’ (which means, it belongs to God)
12 they are excused from helping their father or mother
13 In this way the teaching you pass on to others cancels out
the word of God And there are many other things like this that you do.”

He is saying that the pharisees are teaching that they can absolve themselves from the consequences of using what should/can be used to help their parents for other purposes which is death by declaring it corban..

in other words...Jesus is saying that the pharisees have failed to impart the law of moses recorded in Exodus 21:17 which gives us the right to kill children who dishonor their parents...


Christians what are your thoughts? M i taking it out of context or something?

His purpose there was to show to them their hypocrisy or cherry picking of the laws( as the atheists love to call it), he was saying that they twist the laws and are liberal with it when it seems too harsh or doesn't suit them hence they cannot criticize him for his views on the law and how liberal he is with certain aspects of it. For example, the Pharisees were on the extreme when they criticized Jesus for healing on the sabbath, that was certainly their own interpretation as well as with other petty things, hence Jesus to them was like a law breaker, so it's no wonder Jesus exposed the hypocrisy in them.

it doesnt address the fact that jesus called exodus 21:17 God's law and supported it..not try to change it or something

What's the point? That you don't believe in Jesus existence or what? Or that the bible story is a fair tale? Or that you don't like that name to be mention anywhere

There is nothing like benefit of doubt here.
You already admitted he was saying the truth.

Besides since this is the account of Jesus that you believed,

WHY DID U NOT USE HIS WORK AS THE REFERENCE FOR THIS THREAD OF YOURS?

i said i believe jesus existed because of tacitus...though i believed by giving him the benefit of doubt...

I believe the above is not hard to comprehend..

Your second question is not a question..

I dont know if you're expecting me to reference the quran

Or is it not from Tacitus u read about him again?

Why did u not do so?

How does the highlighted part of your text make any sense to you?

Lies.
Stop jumping the order of my questions.
I asked you because of the claims you have made severally on this forum with your old moniker "raphiemontella" (the moniker u have almost deleted because of the plenty rubbish the moniker vomitted on daily basis)

That time, u claimed that the bible was a "fairytale".

And now u came here to claim you read Tacitus to validate existence (a book u have not even read).
Just because u wanted to play wikipedia smart.
Your same wikipedia that refused to work some threads ago.

It is also logical, for u to have used the book to construct your arguments on Jesus.
But you cannot. Why?
because we all know IT WAS A LIE.

YOU HAVE NEVER READ TACITUS.
YOUR ARGUMENT IS FALSE.
YOU CALL A BOOK A FAIRYTALE yet u keep constructing arguments from it?

How many real life arguments have u constructed from Harry Potter?
How many have u constructed from Superman?

Mscheww.

i dont see how this helps you..

1) there is no place ive said that all of the bible is fiction and a fairytale in a distinctive manner...please provide evidence of such

2)even if the bible is complete fiction..i see no reason..not even the tiniest that prevents me quoting it..

"Boost" indeed

You are constructing arguments from what u call fairytale.
Only a fool does that.
