First; I don't ignore them. Second; the fact that there are genealogies in scripture does not contradict the verses that say they are not of importance. Your whole argument was contradiction. Now you act as if contradiction is the same as different levels of importance. Saying the genealogies aren't of the utmost importance is not the same as contradicting them. It just isn't. And since this isn't a contradiction, I am not cherry picking. You need to attempt to give a better example of biblical contradiction and show how I place one over the other unjustifiably in order to honestly claim my being a cherry picker.

First, when you say it is the topic of the majority of scripture then you are saying that there are parts of scripture that have some other purpose. You need to define how you can tell one from the other. If you can't then you are cherry-picking. Second, to say that it intends to lead in the right direction implies that there is a "right direction". You have yet to explain how that direction is known or what defines it as "right". Again, you are accepting what you think agrees with your personal delusions. (16-07-2016 07:53 AM)popsthebuilder Wrote: You are conflating things again. Is 'conflate' your new word for the day? You don't seem to have a good grasp of what it means. Quote:First; I don't ignore them. You are assigning a lower level of importance to the genealogies. You are reading scriptures and rating various parts according to how important you think each part is. You have no criteria for doing this other than your own previous beliefs. I'm sorry that you don't understand that you aren't using scripture to confirm your existing beliefs by cherry picking what you do and do not value when you read it. I'm sorry that you are too dense to understand that you are deeply mired in delusion. Atheism: it's not just for communists any more! America July 4 1776 - November 8 2016 RIP |

This isn't contradiction of discarding anything at all. Again you said I contradict scripture and that scripture contradicts itself, but you have yet to actually show a single case of either. I wish you would actually try. Again; it is logical to surmise that the substance of a majority of a thing is indeed what the majority of that thing is comprised of. That doesn't mean that any other parts are not still needed, or that they contradict that majority, but that they simply aren't that majority. It's like saying that because air is needed more often to sustain our life that water must be adverse to it and not also for life, because it is needed less. Sounds pretty asinine doesn't it?

Hat tip to Pablo.Nice try but not only do I find the whole of the bible to be inspired by the Word of GOD, but don't make any assertions about the veracity of other holy writings. So what parts have I deemed not profitable? People want to claim I am cherry picking and all have access to the same texts I do, yet none will even attempt to irrefutably show when, where, or how I am guilty of what they claim.
