hopefulLandlord:

Yes he did but that doesn't mean he did whatever they end up doing with the money just like my giving someone money to do whatever they wanted to do with it doesn't mean I did whatever they did with it as the money seizes to be mine the moment I gave it away
Yes he did tell them what to do with his money? Asin, he told them to buy a piece of land from where he'd be buried he killes himself? Lolzzz.

Your analogy is very funny. Judas didn't give the Priests the money as a gift, so your position is invalidated. If he went back to them and said. 'You guys, thank you for helping me betray my Friend, to show my appreciation, pls accept this token from me. I'm giving back the money you paid me as a token of my appreciation,' and the Priests accepted it with goodwill', then your position will be valid.

He took the blood money back, he knew it won't be taken from him, and they didn't. He cast the money on the ground and went away to his dead. He consented whatever the money was used for.
hopefulLandlord:

No! the only thing he consented to is that the money is no longer his just like my giving a homeless man a few dollar bills doesn't mean I've consented to whatever he ends up doing with it.
Unfortunately is not them same thing. You gave a homeless man money (Goodwill). Was Judas's money a gift to the Priest?

hopefulLandlord:

Otherwise employerr too should be arrested when the salary they paid to an employee end up being used to buy hard drugs
Lolzzzzz. Again, it is not the same thing. If a Kidnapper demands for a ransom and he receives it, if he changes his mind and returns it to the victims family because his captive died in his custody, but the family rejects the money, but calls the police instead, shd the kidnapper be tried for his crime in Court? If Yes, In court shd the money be entered in as exhibit (the Kidnappers money) or as his victim's money?

Your stand here says, since the kidnapper brought back the man, whether the victim's family accosts it back or not, it has become a gift to them. Wow.


Hope, the money became Judas' money. Since he took his life and it was obvious no family member came out to claim his remains, his money worked for him by buying a piece of land as a burial place for him.

His money served him well.

Good. Since you said WITHIN the days, is this not referring to a time bracket? What you said is simply WITHIN A BRACKET OF DAYS. This is you saying something like IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH. Your youth was sure but the time span of your youth is not stated. You only gave a time bracket.

Were you once a youth? Yes

Did you say WHEN you were a youth? No

Did your statement imply a time bracket of your youth period? Yes.

I hope you get it now?

Not quite so fast hombre. Semantic jiggery-pokery does not get you even a bag of chips.

We know from the Book of Samuel that at the time the event took place Ahimelech was in fact the High Priest, this is common ground.

If as you claim, Abiathar had only been ordained a “Priest” at the time the stated event took place and bearing in mind that Ahimelech was at this time the High Priest would it not make more sense using your definitions of “during the days” for Jesus to simply state “during the days of Abiathar the Priest” which would be the far more accurate statement?

We then ask, what was the intention of that statement in Mark? Again I state that nobody who reads that statement in isolation can form any other conclusion other than that Jesus clearly states that Abiathar was High Priest at the time of the event. I hope you get it now?

And how many Abiathar's who were High Priests at the time of King David, in whose temple David ate Holy bread do you suppose existed or were recorded?

Rephrase your question to something simple...

How many Abiathars existed in the days of David? Many of course...

Jesus made specific reference to Abiathar the High Priest...and not Abiathar the soldier or thief or sorcerer for a specific reason...

Let us rephrase this..."In the days of Wole Soyinka the Nobel Prize winner" What does this statement mean to you?

Brother, abeg nah, stop. Which law did Jesus fulfill? Tje sacrificial laws or moral laws? Aren't the moral laws of Moses still binding on us today?

When Jesus was asked which commandment was the greatest, wasn't it the 10 Commandment of Moses?

Jesus was the sacrificial lamb the Jews always sacrificed to cover their sins, when he died, that ended. But other 'thou shall not steal, commit adultery, lie and kill' are still binding on us till tomorrow.

1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

Acts 15

1 Then came down certain from Judea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordained that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the Apostles and Elders about this question.

3 Thus being brought forth by the Church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles, and they brought great joy unto all the brethren.

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.

5 But said they, certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which did believe, rose up, saying that it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses.

6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to look to this matter.

7 And when there had been great disputation, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among us God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.

8 And God which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, in giving unto them the holy Ghost even as he did unto us.

9 And he put no difference between us and them, after that by faith he had purified their hearts.

10 Now therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples’ necks, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to bear?

11 But we believe, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, even as they do.

12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.

13 And when they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me.

14 Simeon hath declared, how God first did visit the Gentiles, to take of them a people unto his Name.

15 And to this agree the words of the Prophets, as it is written,

16 After this I will return, and will build again the Tabernacle of David, which is fallen down, and the ruins thereof will I build again, and I will set it up.

17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.

18 From the beginning of the world, God knoweth all his works.

19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,

20 But that we send unto them, that they abstain themselves from filthiness of idols, and fornication, and that is strangled, and from blood.

21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues every Sabbath day.

22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Judas whose surname was Barsabas, and Silas, which were chief men among the brethren,

23 And wrote letters by them after this manner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, Unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us, have troubled you with words, and cumbered your minds, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment,

25 It seemed therefore good to us, when we were come together with one accord, to [send] chosen men unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul.

26 Men that have [v]given up their lives for the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, which shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

28 [w]For it seemed good to the [x]holy Ghost, and [y]to us, to lay no more burden upon you, than these [z]necessary things.

29 [aa]That is, that ye abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

30 [ab]Now when they were departed, they came to Antioch, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they delivered the Epistle,

31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.

32 And Judas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and strengthened them.

33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in [ac]peace of the brethren unto the Apostles.

Carefully go through the verses I highlighted in red & purple and the ones I bolded. You will see the difference between Judaism and Christianity just as you can easily differentiate night from day...

The Law is not binding on Christians to follow...and bear in mind that the Law is not just the 10 commandments...there are over 400 instructions that makes up the Laws of Moses...

Circumcision is not compulsory as it is the circumcision of the heart that makes fit to stand before God. That passage does not say circumcision shd be done away with completely, what it says is that, it shouldn't be a yardstick to measure holiness.

If you remember, Apst Paul circumcised Timothy, shaved his head before bringing him to Jerusalem. Why did he do that?

The converted Pharisees insisted that without it, no salvation, Paul said No. Repentance takes place in the heart not in the flesh.

Bros, pls let's not go into this, because e go hook you for throat.

As much as i like my senior brother, i can't have sex with him or marry him, and the new testament never told me not to do it, the Old did.

Or are you saying since it wasn't mentioned in the New Testament, it's not a sin so you have sex with your beautiful kid sister?

Then explain what happened in Acts 15.

If you love God and man, you have fulfilled and surpassed what the Law requires of you...These are Jesus' words not mine...

Thank you.

Mujtahida:

You assume too much. I am an atheist because I don't believe in Jehovah, the Jewish idol? You assume too much.
Disappear how? When I'd be on the thread gidigba but for you using my moniker on the title? Argument na my work ooo not to talk of arguing against a religion I detest so much. It's too small a challenge.
That is why your moniker shd be there for the world to notice it and come in to see you shred YHWH nah.

This thread wasn't meant to be about arguments (That's why i said you failed woefully), It's about proving your stance with facts. Arguments are pointless. I no be small pikin. Why i go open thread just to argue? I have a life sir.

Mujtahida:

I am not hopeful.landlord, am I? Stick to the terms of our agreement. Simple.
The term is, You and I do justice to the contradictions you'd present. So far, not even one attempt by you has been made. Your brethren in atheism have failed so miserable at presenting even one single contradiction.


Wait, isn't my moniker there too? What's the fuss about?

You just hung yourself by bringing Shilock into this.

Am taking my pound of flesh.

You go about boasting and maliging my God. You talk about what you know nothing about. You feel by claiming you were once a Christian will lay credence to the fact that you jettisoned Christ. Sorry, your cup of tea. Your soul, your loss.

But, when you make boast know that people who can poke holes and hold you down are around.

You who had loved and preached these lies shouldn't find it hard to.presnte them here, but you have successfully derailed the thread because you know you'll be cut to half if you try.

I want the entire Nairaland Community to come in here and see and cheer you up as you destroy the Bible. Poor guy.

Carefully go through the verses I highlighted in red & purple and the ones I bolded. You will see the difference between Judaism and Christianity just as you can easily differentiate night from day...

The Law is not binding on Christians to follow...and bear in mind that the Law is not just the 10 commandments...there are over 400 instructions that makes up the Laws of Moses...

Say no to Judeo-Christianity...
Which law? Pls highlight them.

Okay, i will remove your moniker there, but how will folks know the motive for the thread?

See why you don't go challenging people? This is nothing compared to what you may have to confront in other situations when you make boast and challenge people.

Suggest what i shd replace your moniker with since you engineered this thread.
In the first place, in real terms, I didn't challenge you. Not at all. This below was your proposal. If there was a challenge, it came from you not me. If not where did you accept my challenge? Who made the offer? You did. I only accepted.
Pls give me the go ahead to open a thread for the contradictions, lies, absurdities, and historical untruths in the Bible. And, promise to stay through while we trash these issues out.

You present them, i treat them.

I'm waiting to hear you say 'Go ahead'.
My response was I accept
This is no challenge to you. So I think you got it wrong from the get go. And that influenced your mind in putting my moniker on the thread title. In context it was more like you opening a thread where I point out Bible lies and contradictions and you treat them.

So your title thread should read: Debate: Lies, contradictions and absurdities in the Bible and a Christian's appropriate responses to them.

When you do this or something in this vein, then you make an introductory remarks that I said that the Bible is full of contradictions and lies. This thread is an open debate where I (mujtahida) presents the lies and contradictions and absurdities and you treat them. And like you have already done, invite others. We'd discuss in an atmosphere free of acrimony and insults.

This was my expectation. I commend you for being courteous cos you have maintained a line of conversation with me that I personally find endearing. Cos any hint of disrespect is to open the door for insults and bad words to start flowing. I don't want that cos I can be acidic dishing out insults. I notice an idiot on this thread( whom I had long suspected to be an idiot but confirmed it today) and I will treat him with the scorn and contempt he deserves.

Sister, I think I have just seen the reason why Mujtahida wants his moniker removed from the thread's title.
It looks like everytime the thread is replied to, he gets spammed a mention, this because his user ID is in the thread title
