A believer never lies because they believe that they don't lie. Is belief truth? Ask a hindu or a muslim.

If you don't know you lie then is it a lie? If you change the truth but you don't know that you change it, is it a lie?

You are no different from the hindu or the muslim or the buddhist or the parsee. You all believe. You all believe that what you believe is right and all others are wrong. You believe this although most of you are certainly wrong. You just hope it's not you, because you can't be wrong. Can you? You can't live a lie, can you?

So if I'm reading this properly... no believers can understand the prophecies, and it's confusing for unbelievers. I'd say you were accurate on this one point anyway.

Hello
Thought I would ask about Psalms 22:16.
Apparently the dead sea scrolls says Kaaru wich is an unknown word' some Christians have suggested it meens karu wich they say meens peirced but apparently it actually meens to dig. They say that the words karu and kaaru are written very simularly (wich if I remember rightly is right' theres only a punctuation mark that seperates them) and that it could have been a mistake by a scribe or it got scratched of or something.
The mesoretic text says kaari wich meens like a lion but Chistians say that wouldn't make any sence and so prefere the later translation wich say peirced I,m not sure whether or not they debate whether or not thats deffiantely what it says or not in the Mesoreretic text or just that it it wouldn't make any sence. But apparently Robert Price said that the word pirced was talking about being bitten by animals and so he thought it ment peirced but that it wasn't talking about the Messiah.
The source I just read said that the septuagint said dug but in The NIV its got a footnote at the botttom wich says that the Septuagint says peirced along with the Syriac but that most say like a lion.
I'm unsure whetheror not there are any versions that say peirces written before Christianity had spread I will have to check.
Anyway if it isn't clear if its talking about the Messiah I suppose a skeptic could say that even if it does meen peirced its not enough to convince them because its not beyond possiblilty that it could be a coincidence.
I should let you know that my sources for this was an article written by Paul N Tobin on geocities he was an atheist but I have looked at some Christian websites aswell but that was the last one I looked at.
Chris

And, yea, ignorant christers will continue to redefine words that show their irrationality and hold fast to the faith that wishing makes it so!"

Damn, I'm one holy mother-fucker, jack!

:funny:
Believers never lies or disguise as lie is the most hate of the holy God.
Please if there is little left understanding in your heart try your self to feel what believers have.
I want to help the countless sinners but the prophecy is final,But if God permit I want to save a thousands.I believe that internet cannot be the way of to salvation.
Been there, wised up. I'm sure it's a good ego-stroke to feel you can "save" so many people. Probably why religion is so popular. You can claim all sorts of stuff you never have to prove.

One lies when one states one's beliefs as fact.

You need to fix your quote, dogfish, so that it's clear that bong said what you quoted and not spin.
