Not that I have seen.

He has preached exactly the same claims for some years now, but never admitted any error, or addressed the flaws in his arguments.

aa admitted one error once. It was a simple matter of reading, and he was clearly wrong. (The fetus Jesus lept in Mary's womb, not into her womb.)

This is fascinating.

I can't put you on ignore - I'm a moderator.

What does that prove?

It proves that I am not being ignored. I may be on some watch list.

Almost one year ago, I pointed out that I made an error and quoted the passage myself, now months later in an unrelated thread, the moderator decides to bring it back up.

What does that prove?

Nothing?

It proves that you admitted to an error, which was the question. And it took a bit of pointing it out to you before you pointed it out yourself.

But you have still not identified your first language, or explained why you have such trouble with what some of us consider basic English interpretation.

What does this have to do with the OP? There are people here who are making blatant errors who do not admit to their errors. It is completely futile to waste time asking me about matters that have absolutely nothing about the OP.

Everything I say can be changed. I am not obliged to maintain any position or to ask anyone to change my position. Every position can be altered with new information.

Telling me about an error last year is irrelevant to my present position. If you see any errorrs now, you can pioint them out now.

What is your position on the OP?

This is my position. Jesus of the NT did not exist. His disciples did not exist and Paul is a fiction writer who lived in some other time than the 1st century.

Nonsense.
You did no such thing, as anyone who reads the post will see.

You made a bizarre claim, quoted the Bible incorrectly ("leaped INTO the womb",)
defended it ("The author was probably trying to describe some type of sudden phenomenal change in Mary physical appearance,"), and then supported it for nine posts, even insisting :
"I UNDERSTAND the translation perfectly."
(your bold, your all caps.)
You repeatedly insisted you were right in the face of numerous posts showing you were wrong.

Eventually you admitted :
' You are correct.
Luke 1.41 definitely has "in" and not "into". '


But you conspicuously avoided admitting you were wrong, you totally failed to use any words like "wrong", or "error" about your erroneous claim. You never said anything like "I was wrong".

Instead you just quickly moved on to other subjects, doing everything you could to draw attention away from your error.


But now -
you pretend that YOU noticed your error, and YOU admitted it openly and clearly.

When in fact the complete opposite is true -
several others pointed out your error numerous times,
you supported it for numerous posts,
then failed to openly admit you were wrong,
and quickly changed the subject.

Look at the post.

And I have found a passage that appear to CONFIRM that the author did refer to the baby of Elizabeth and NOT of Mary.

These are words of Elizabeth, according to the author of Luke:

Luke 1.44,
Quote:
"For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in MY WOMB for joy.
It is absolutely amazing how people can blatantly try to misrepresent me.

Look at the post infront of you.

Hi all,

I accurately represented you.
Which is why you totally failed to show any item where I didn't.
You did everything I claimed in my post above.

I did.
Eventually you did post the passage correctly.
So what?
That doesn't change anything I said.


This is entirely typical of your debating style here - all emotive bluster, no substance.
