However I meant fact in the sense of the actual existence of words in the Bible. And lack of a single instance where Jesus claimed to be God, while we have instances where he denies it outright.
How much clearer does the AV need to get before people stop making claims about their adherence to the AV when they do everything the same way the bible critics who cherrypick their verses that support their arguments do (or at least they can make it sound like they support their arguments; the general behavioural pattern of matrixsurvivor, Heresiarch, Akragon and the rest of the Paul-bashing party)?
You started the disinformation thread about Paul inventing Christianity and you happily let the carnage commence.
I do not believe your implied motives for starting that thread.
I can see evidence indicating otherwise. Mostly related to my signature and the description under my name.
You certainly keep people's minds here busy with a lot of mental poison and it seems that it might be intentional.
Pushing the right buttons, promoting interest for misleading debates, keeping people's minds occupied and distracted from the more important and simple subjects to understand about God,
his message to mankind, the bible, and just generally what the bible refers to as "wholesome teaching" or "beneficial teaching" and "an accurate knowledge of truth"
But not that you're the only one or that it's your fault or anything, you just seem to be rather proficient at it compared to some others perhaps. It is clear to me though, that your behavioural pattern regarding the bible is the same as those I mentioned (or in the videos you promote).
i couldn't care less if you believe me... or if anyone else believes me for that matter
that is what makes me different from yourself and others
I would have to be dishonest if I recognize mental poison but are afraid to call it mental poison because of the debate games being played when one does that.
Immediately zooming in on "poison" painting a picture on someone for not being 'Christian' enough as if the main example for Christians, Jesus, never told us to be honest with people when a Christian sees someone else being deceived with the trivial and with wasting their minds on nonsense and mythology (in this case mixed with Jewish propaganda).
Well, I'm not sure which others you are referring to, but I seem to get the impression that the same behavioural pattern, or apathic stoic attitude or emotional position, if you want to compare it with stoicism, is present in many who have posted in this thread and on this forum.

You started the disinformation
thread about Paul inventing Christianity and you happily let the carnage commence. Don't act all innocent now like Seede when he says he's defending Paul and then claims Paul joined a cult/sect when he actually joined Christianity (in essence calling Christianity a cult/sect as he did on my thread about myths that I linked here before; while saying "I call myself a Christian" on another thread).
For example: about 7 minutes in in your video that you promoted in that thread he cherrypicks Zachariah 8:23 and seems to hope that the mention of the word "Jew" there is interpreted as referring to modern day Jews by his audience. Of course he also skips Zechariah's introduction as to from whom these words originated (perhaps he doesn't want to get bogged down on the whole HaShem routine or draw any attention to that, of course I'm not suggesting he's obligated to use verse numbers and therefore needs to quote the whole verse, but it is Zechariah's introduction that I find quite interesting to think about regarding the behaviour of modern day Jews in relation to God's name, or even just the word "God").
Zechariah 8:23 (NW):
“This is what Jehovah of armies says, ‘In those days ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold, yes, they will take firm hold of the robe* of a Jew,* saying: “We want to go with you, for we have heard that God is with you people.”’”
1st *: Or “extremity of the garment.”
2nd *: Lit., “a Jewish man.”
Note that "you people" is not one Jew but referring to a group of people. May this terminology "a Jew" or "a Jewish man" be symbolically referring to a group of people that are appropiately referred to in that manner because of their worship and obedience to Jehovah rather than literally Jews as in modern day Jews who have disobeyed Jehovah on many issues for quite a while now? Just like the "ten men" earlier in the verse are not literally 10 men?

like I said I will take God's preserved words over men's every time.
If you cannot understand the word of God it is only natural to try and fit pagan stuff,
wikipedia junk into it to give your fleshly mind peace about it. I assure you you are incorrect and God is true. You will never know the depth of the word of God until you follow after him with a whole heart something you do not do.
You post is an excellent example of wrongly joining the word of Truth to create and false doctrine in your right hand while refuting what you can a false doctrine in your left.
No longer interested in something that is not good for the hearers. Let the those who will be led astray follow you.

Israel because that is what God originally said before it was corrupted in the Greek copies to read the sons of God.
Unbelievers have no say I this matter, you'll see.

Yeah which god?
Yourself? other Men? scholars? Maybe Allah?
None of those versions you listed are verifiably accurate and none of them were whole and complete copies.
Why not Just trust the LORD, God Almighty?
Please remember that a man who was a Prophet, a King and a Priest said that the Lord would preserve his words to every generation. As expounded on in an earlier post I gave the reason a for the AV being that God preserved word of God to this generation.
