LordReed:
I am not a christian but I challenge the notion that what one man wrote cannot be overridden by another. Paul is a man like Enenche, if Enenche wants to speak in tongues in public I think its his prerogative, Paul's ancient letter is a guide not a legal document.

Pick up a shoe.....
Can you observe it with any OR all of your 5 senses? If you can, you are able to have as much certainty of this fact as anything else in the world. You'll never see two people debating the existence of shoes. That would be an exercise in stupidity.....
In contrast, the existence of a god is much less certain. Many reasonable and intelligent people become atheists and arguments for God's existence always have reasonable counter arguments. "Experiences" of God can be hard to distinguish from mere psychological or sociological effects.....
So the state of humanity is thus: we find ourselves in a world with an epistemological framework such that we are far more likely to know that a pencil exists than that God exists!
Having established all this, here is my question....
Now, if God really does exist and wants a relationship with us -- and if this relationship is the single most important thing to "get right" -- then why would God not give us more epistemic access to his own existence … than that of a shoe??. Doesn't this seem incompatible with the existence of a god who wants to have a relationship with us?

Calm down. It is just good natured banter

Even when it was a joke, everything is always fight with this one.

So much for ur support tho. The person u followed blindly almost led the club into mediocrity.
Yet a novice caretaker manager has used the same set of players to surmount an 11 point gap ur fav manager left us with, with the same set of players he swore with his life were useless.

"Never give your children as sacrifices to the god Molech [by burning them alive].
If you do, you are dishonoring the name of your God. I am the LORD."
- Leviticus 18:21

"Do not worship the LORD your God in the way they worship their gods, for in the worship of their gods they do all the disgusting things that the LORD hates. They even sacrifice their children in the fires on their altars."
- Deuteronomy 12:31

"¹The Lord said to Moses,
²“Give the people of Israel these instructions, which apply both to native Israelites and to the foreigners living in Israel.
“If any of them offer their children as a sacrifice to Molech, they must be put to death. The people of the community must stone them to death. ³I myself will turn against them and cut them off from the community, because they have defiled my sanctuary and brought shame on my holy name by offering their children to Molech.
⁴And if the people of the community ignore those who offer their children to Molech and refuse to execute them,
⁵I myself will turn against them and their families and will cut them off from the community. This will happen to all who commit spiritual prostitution by worshiping Molech"
- Leviticus 20:1-5

"⁹When you come to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, never learn the disgusting practices of those nations.
¹⁰You must never sacrifice your sons or daughters by burning them alive, practice black magic, be a fortuneteller, witch, or sorcerer, "
- Deuteronomy 18:9-10

Here's the difference LordReed, the truth and the fact is that, again theologically speaking, as you can see from the various above bible verses reproduced and from what I already had mentioned, there is absolutely no way Jephthah will have the temerity to romanticise the thought that he could extract battle victory favour from God by offering human sacrifice

Silence cannot tell a lie. So, sometimes silence is more powerful than having to say anything. Silence, in this case, is luxury, and that's why, I am so content with it, besides, it isnt like that the silence gives strength to your argument anyway, as you like a drowning man, merely, are just clutching at straws. There was more story to tell regarding Hannah and Samuel, that is why Hannah, Samuel's mother was visiting Samuel, with a gift every year as he served the Lord, was mentioned and so as I previously mentioned would imagine Jephthah did similar or the same with his daughter too. Also LordReed, where does it, say that Hannah's descriptive should turn around to become the norm or prescriptive for Jephthah and/or others?

Get your facts right. Celibacies, are ten a penny in the bible. I know you are familiar with the names Elijah and Jeremiah, they were celibate. Your Anna, the woman in the New Testament, was celibate too. She was celibate, upon being made a widow, after only seven years of marriage. She was dedicated, as she never left the temple but worshiped there, night and day, fasting and praying.

I could say more on celibacies, even back each up with bible verses, or show you in the bible, verses of "sign of tabernacle workers meant to be celibate". They are there, black and white in the bible, but then, I dont kick someone in the teeth when they are down, and that's why I am leaving it just at that. Except you scream blue murder for it, I wont "editorialize", to show you, in the bible, where the idea comes from.

It's funny, you using the word, "editorialize", knowing that is precisely and exactly all you and the others have so far been doing on this thread.

LordReed, we can admire Jephthah, love him or hate him but, as the OP, make no mistake and recognise that Jephthah's chutzpah will shrivel contemplating a deal-breaker dead on arrival proposition of this nature, because it and Jephthah knows, God, more than once, from the word, go, and on principle, expressively has officially refused to agree to be part in human burnt offerings, child sacrifices and/or ritualistic killing of children.

It's unthinkable, just bizarre, why instigate an act, an action not suggested or set in motion by God first (i.e. God didnt tell you to do it), and especially a practice you know God categorically and officially, has said He doesnt accept, condone nor agree with.
