[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] UM: [i]Wouldn't we all, if you went far back enough, be related?[/i] Yes, through both Adam and Noah. However, that wasn't the prophecy. God promised David (that's David the king, not QW's uncle David, nor, for that matter, my dad David) that one of his decendents would reign for eternity. Thus Jesus, who, through Mary, was a decendent of David, and now reigns for eternity. Why is this so hard to get? Tim: [i]If he said Gentiles were wrong, it means he felt that way.[/i] But He didn't say that. The idea was to make it hit home that the self-righteous Pharasees were really no better than the Gentiles that they despised. Kind of a sarcasm thing, and a way to point out the hypocracy of the Pharasees at the same time. Things like that don't translate well to text, apparently. [i]Well, as long as he was reforming everything else about them, why not preach religious tolerance?[/i] He did. Good Samaritan parable, for example. JK: [i]Who is to say Jesus and not Muhammed is the true messiah?[/i] A whole freakin' bunch of prophets. Oh, and God. Can't forget God. Rob: [i]All this begatting... who did the research for it?[/i] Again, who needs to do research? People kept records of their ancestory, adding to them each generation. It would have just been sitting somewhere in a family house. [i]Who verified the authenticity of the records?[/i] Who verified the authenticity of your family tree? If you don't accept SOME historical records, even when they can't be proven to be accurate, then you have no history to work with. On what basis do you deny the historical accuracy of the books of the Bible? And WHICH books, for that matter? Do you accept ANY of it as accurate? To me, this seems on the scale of people who deny the accuracy of Smith's account of the Pilgrim settlement of Plymouth (darn, what WAS the name of that book?), just because it shows a failed communist society, and we know that THAT can't happen, don't we? [i]And where are these indestructible historical documents, that somehow survived from David to Jesus's time and beyond, NOW?[/i] Um... written in the Bible? I never said it was the exact same physical document that was passed from generation to generation. That's be rediculous. Scrolls would rot after four or five hundred years, in all likelyhood. They probably made several copies, for each child, with his or her personal geneology on it. What happened to the parents', I don't know. Maybe they buried them with the bodies? [/QB][/QUOTE]
