hey, don't knock it till you actually try it ;3
--I take it you believe ,some how the two posts are the same . Read again what you posted. It is a bit far from what I posted. It said question first to be sure. See that the crime that was spook of really happen . If you find it true that this person . LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, then put them to death by stoning at the front gate. I would say this is so all would see. We even here in Canada had the death penalty, up to a few years ago. I happen to believe we still should". But hay the world is getting so much better", under mans rule ha. If the Muslims ever get control . You then will really see blood. They I understand don't put a thief in jail you know. They take them out into the street ,and cut there hand off.
Lol. irrelevant It says the same in the NIV.2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshipped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death." Strawmaning yet again, Sweet pea. oh and the ASV is the same. Lol " 2 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 3 and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded, 4 and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it; then shalt thou inquire diligently; and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel, 5 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them to death with stones." And the ESV, NASV, NLT, What was the relevance of you posting Sweet pea.
Lol. Wow and you think they're different.
Thanks all. I guess this thread serves as a message to me not to derail other people's threads. Much appreciated.
Having read the Hebrew bible/OT and translated it some what myself, and had done the same with the ancient Greek NT, You calling it flawed needs a lot of support. Please provide that or put up or shut up. Sweet pea?

--What a waste all those Bibles and you still can't find GOD. If you truly believe what they had to say about GOD was wrong. Why do you now say ,you must hear them in a given way , to understand them , an know that they are right? You seem to be a mixed up person. Peace be with you.
--Good morning Jae--Why worry so much about Volf's book?
airclean - I'm not worried about Volf's book. I enjoyed Volf's book. I found it challenging. You speak of Jesus being the one through whom we can be saved. That is a doctrine which most Christians agree on. However, Volf states at the outset of his book (and I shared here in the thread) that it's within the realm of political theology that we're stating that Muslims and Christians worship the sane God.
I didn't say you must hear them in any way. I have a library of very old books a manuscripts, and part of that is an extensive bible collection. A person cannot discuss a subject without first having knowledge of that subject. They are merely for reference. And as for finding god, it would need to exist first wouldn't it.
Don't you mean sapience.
