The 'Holy' Changing Bible

Countering the suggestion that the bible is the inerrant word of God, and how we can know that it has changed over time. -------------------------- References: 1.

The Mark of Cain...

The Mark of Cain may be a letter, a verse, a message, or a talisman. The mark on Cain is a sign to others that Cain should not be killed until he has had seven generations of children. Harming Cain involving the harm being returned sevenfold. _____________________________________ InsideSoap reports: Niall can't keep the secret that he's Myra's son hidden for much longer - and when he does reveal his identity, you can bet that his estraged family aren't going to welcome him into the fold with open arms... The first drafts of the scripts were sent out,and it looks amazing,hints InsideSoap. It involves lots of stunts - and we can reveal that we'll be losing MORE THAN ONE MEMBER of the McQueen clan... The truth will out and in a stunt filled episode, more than one member of the McQueen clan will be blasted out of Chester...!...

Fratricide (from the Latin word frater, meaning: "brother" and cide meaning to kill) is the act of a person killing his or her brother... ************************************* "The Mark of Cain"(2007), Directed by Marc Munden. Barry Sloane[Hollyoaks evil Niall Rafferty],played the part of TA Pvt Glynn. This movie had its World Premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The movie follows a group of British soldiers in Iraq showing their sometimes forced humiliation against Iraqi soldiers, their psychological problems, the cover ups in the British army and the outcome during a trial. ************************************ According to Genesis, Cain and Abel were the first and second sons of Adam and Eve, born after the Fall of Man. Their story is told in Genesis 4:1-16, Cain, a farmer,commits the first murder by killing his brother Abel, a shepherd,after God rejects Cain's sacrifice but accepts Abel's. The oldest known copy of the biblical narration is from the Dead Sea Scrolls (mid 1st century), inspected using infra-red photography and published by Jim R Davila as part of his doctoral dissertation in 1988. Cain and Abel appear in a number of other texts,and the story is the subject of various interpretations. Abel, the first murder victim, is sometimes seen as the first martyr,while Cain, the first murderer, is sometimes seen as a progenitor of evil. A few scholars suggest the pericope may have been based on a Sumerian story representing the conflict between nomadic shepherds and settled farmers. Allusions to Cain and Abel as an archetype of fratricide [ Fratricide (from the Latin word frater, meaning: "brother" and cide meaning to kill) is the act of a person killing his or her brother...] persist in numerous references and retellings, through medieval art and Shakespearean works up to the present day.

John 3:16 IN CONTEXT (zkueker88)

zkueker88 is at it again doing mental gymnastics in order to get Scripture not to really mean what is written. He released 3 so far in this series so, I decided to respond to John 3:16. In John 3:16 he tries to get Scripture to not really mean what it says when it comes to the word "whoever". In subsequent videos he tries to get "all" not to mean "all" as in "He (Christ) died for all." How many words do Calvinists have to take/remove from Scriptures before they realize they shouldn't be doing that in the first place? Utterly ridiculous. Scripture is very clear when it comes to the things necessary for entering the New Jerusalem. It is not very clear when it comes to "elect" theology that is presented by Calvinists. These videos make that obvious to everyone else but Calvinists. It's like you need a decoder ring in order to unlock the secret meaning of the Bible. Sure, some passages are hard to understand, but to make words not really contain the definition they normally would have is a bit much. Also, can you imagine primitive Christians huddled in their catacombs trying to do the things that Zach is trying to do here? New Testament literature was intended to be broken up into pericopes to be read and understood and meditated upon within a sitting. We know this because many of the Apostles and subsequent Christians were believed to be illiterate. They were poor people working class people in a day where the printing press did not exist; AND in a day where the verse numbering system did not exist; AND in a day where you were not guaranteed to receive the entire Canon of Scripture. To have to piece together Scripture in order to concoct the meaning and way Zach has presented this to us would be something short of a miracle.
