Our family name is McCart so we are really Irish background but he sure looked Scots with that kilt! We also had a Scots piper and HE was in full regalia also🙂
straw man and a logical fallacy, no one has claimed that you have deviated from any script. If you are going to assume false values and attempt to build arguments on those false values can you do it in another thread? This thread is about the words of Christ.
A good time was had by all! My son, Kevin, had just family there, and his son Caleb, who is 14 now and 6 foot 1 inch already, my height! Kevin is a bit taller at 6'3". I was 6 foot at 13 but didn't get much higher so we will see how Caleb does in the vertical department! He is also in the gifted program at school, already applied to Stanford!

Too long sonship. Jesus managed to express himself succinctly, please try to follow his example.
Jesus expresses Himself in all 27 books of the New Testament.
Or do you argue that besides the four Gospels we do NOT have the speaking of Christ to His people ?
I have no choice but to believe the paradox of the sinless One was also made sin for us as Jesus speaks to us through His apostle Paul.
I cannot completely explain this.
How about we take the word of God and say "Amen" ?
How about instead of reading and thinking "He did not make Him sin" I simply say "Amen" to -
" Him [Christ] who knew no sin He [God] made sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Cor. 5:21)
As for succinctness ? I think you don't mind long windedness as long as it agrees with Jehovah's Witness teaching.

Not too long Robbie. But too irrelevant to anything here really important.

Originally posted by sonshipWill you please try to refrain from moralising over me. I am merely replying to some pleasantries expressed. Why you should try to make something of that I have no idea. I expect that if the Son of man himself were he you might chastise him also as someone gluttonous, given to drinking wine and a friend of harlots and tax collectors!

I mean, I notice how succinct Jesus could be too.
But Matthew does have 28 chapters, John 21, and Luke 24.

Yes, There are still some things I do not fully understand.
Yes, there are paradoxical statements that are difficult to reconcile with each other.
And I love it. I know that because of this I am still a work in progress.
FIrst, I come to the word of God for nourishment, sustenance in the deepest spiritual part of my being. I "eat" the word even when I fail to be able to fully explain the word.
Did I answer your question ?

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI agree.
I always understood as an expression of Christ's humanity. Don't all humans cry out to their God or to justice when experiencing such physical (and unwarranted) torment?
The interesting thing is that the Gospel writer was faithful to include this cry of Jesus. A less than honest propagandist could have figured that it gave fuel to their opposition to Christ's self declaration as God's sent Son.
