Concepts of God and Religion

89. Why not call your cult "The Redefinition Project"?

I did not say you loathed Christianity, I did not specify the name precisely because it is "official church" or Pauline Christianity which you loathe. Of course you would include in your particular canon of Christianity all those other books that were discarded by the early Church which your leader, yes your prophet is a leader, says are relevant. these were discarded mainly because they were even more obvious forgeri ... sorry, pseudoepigraphical texts and as such even more corrupt than the ones that made it.

I did not write about the rapture, I quoted you about a tribulation and observed that your cult and its views on the current "tribulations" would fit nicely with the views of the website "Rapture Ready". Google is your friend - use it.

No comments about how wrong I am and how dreadful the world is, now? Good, because that would merely expose you to more ridicule.

The Book of Isaiah, I did not say when it was written. I did say that none of Proverbs was written by Solomon because the earliest parts of Proverbs were written some 400 years after that supposed monarchs existence, Your cult lies by saying that some of that text was by Solomon.

What I did say about Isaiah specifically, and a class in reading comprehension would serve you well, was:1)

they can usually be shown to be wrong, content free generalisations, post facto rationalisation or written after the event prophesied. The books of Isaiah fall into these last 2 categories pretty spectacularly. Prophesies about Jesus were interpreted after the fact.

Which is exactly true. and later I added ...
2)

Shame that the author of Isaiah was writing about nations that were the joint nations of Israel and Judah. The KJV variant is how the Protestant clergy of Europe wished the words to be translated; if wishes were fishes etc. You problems continue in that many of Isaiah's prophecies were shoehorned into being predictive of the birth of the god-man by the religion you so loathe. Your cult merely continues the tradition of pretending vague words apply to your particular apostasy.

Now I can see where you might wish to read into my words that Isaiah was written after the putative birth of Jesus but Isaiah is does contain some prophecies that are "accurate" about other events but those particular prophecies were written after the those events and used to show how other prophecies must be "accurate". The words you wish to claim as "real" prophecy are mainly "... content free generalisations, post facto rationalisation,"

Rehashing, where so done it is just because you keep denying the obvious and pretending that this is new information.

Educating myself about your cult? When I have damaged my brain by reading the flim-flam offered in your cult's tracts? Education like that is akin to what was offered at "Dotheboys Hall" (deliberate exaggeration because it emphasises the point), education like that I can do without.

One thing I will do will be to show how your group, not you personally, generates falsehoods and indulges in cult-like behaviour. If you wish to participate in the noticeboard without trying to sell your particular cult I will treat those posts with more respect, but continue to post the lies that your cult sells as fact and I will continue to point out those deceits.
