However, in terms of what we may reasonably believe about writers' intentions, the question turns to what a reader of average intelligence should most reasonably believe. If one writer states that Joseph's father was named Jacob while another writer states that Joseph's father was named Heli, and if I have no good reason to assume that neither writer was incapable of error, then it is most reasonable for me to infer that at least one of them made a mistake. If you're going to insist that I would more reasonable believing something else, then it is up to you to come up with solid evidence supporting something else. Your speculation about what one or the other writer could have been intending to say is not evidence of anything. |

Okay, I don't need to ask you why you were banned from Tweeb anymore. I do apparently need to repeat questions (3 times) that you don't want to answer: 2) You accept the words of men which Imply that Joseph was not the son of Heli? So you prefer the word of men to the word of God? 3) You accept the words of men which Imply that Joseph was not the son of Heli? So you prefer the word of men to the word of God? And, the Magical christian Incantation: Avodah Christian Cadrebra! Joseph BIRTH, n. The first and direst of all disasters. As to the nature of it there appears to be no uniformity. Castor and Pollux were born from the egg. Pallas came out of a skull. Galatea was once a block of stone. Peresilis, who wrote in the tenth century, avers that he grew up out of the ground where a priest had spilled holy water. It is known that Arimaxus was derived from a hole in the earth, made by a stroke of lightning. Leucomedon was the son of a cavern in Mount Aetna, and I have myself seen a man come out of a wine cellar. http://www.errancywiki.com/index.php/Main_Page |
