I have quoted plenty of scripture that has refuted your nonsense and other scriptures that teach an different theology (if I dare use that word with you) than the nonsense you have been feeding us.

It is a historical fact that the Bible which has countless versions for this very reason has been modified over and over again throughout the centuries.

Different versions don't prove anything. The copies of the extant manuscripts we have of both the OT and NT are well over 95% in agreement. Any
honest truth seeker who is not conversant in the original languages would know that the best route to understanding what the writers meant and how their original audiences would have understood them is to avail himself of multiple translations. Some translations lean more to literal translations (YLT, NASB, etc.), while other lean more to capturing the sense of the meaning (NIV, etc.).
You're argument is simple-minded and is no argument for all the many reasons I have shown -- reasons supported by scripture. And the fundamental flaw to your argument is that your interpretation does not even fit the immediate context of the passage.

I never said that. I said Jesus broke the rules of the scriptures when appropriate and necessary.

This statement shows how ignorant you are of the scripture. He never broke the rules; for if he had he would be a sinner like all of us. But Jesus denied being a sinner, remember!?
He flawlessly and perfectly lived by
his own standards, i.e the written Word of God which the Spirit of Christ inspired to the prophets and apostles.

You keep proving yourself to be incapable of understanding simple things. To re explain:
There are no words that would do justice to the love of the Divine or the spiritual truth or spiritual self realization. It's day and night between printed words and actual experience. And as we have discussed in the past, words don't always translate meaning correctly in Biblical translations from one language to another.

These words again prove you're an antichrist, since Jesus never expressed such sentiments. Quite the contrary! He actually rebuked people for not knowing the scriptures as they should have!

Your argument was smoke. If you check out the KJV they still use the original quote of the Kingdom of Heaven is within you as opposed to your version of it "in our midst" .
|
Well, yeah...what is your point!? A published translation
DOES NOT change its words. A particular translation is not a floating one. 1,000 years from now, if this planet is still around, the KJV will print that text in Luke 17 exactly the same way.

]For almost 20 centuries it was "the kingdom of Heaven is within you". But when morons like you decided they had no clue what Jesus was talking about here, they decided to change it to something as stupid and meaningless as they are.

Wow! What an ignoramus you are! Incredible! The KJV hasn't been around for 20 centuries. Furthermore,
no translation is divinely inspired. Only the original autographs were God-breathed and infallible. So, unless you can read and understand Koine Greek, you are the one blowing smoke!
The reasons other very credible translations -- with modern scholarship -- have changed translated the passage differently is because they came to realize that the "kingdom is within in" translation was really bad for all the many reasons I have cited -- if not more.
Also, you keep ignoring the fact that your "best friend" took away the kingdom from your fellow brothers in Satan and gave it to another nation.
There are many people in Hell who know more about the Bible than you and had punched their ticket to Heaven
Jesus is not interested in your ego or how much you know of the Bible or how much of it you can recite. The way you will communicate to him will be from your heart and the less you pay attention to your heart with gibberish and stay with your stupid ego the less you will reap from this life.
Heaven is within or no where. Heaven is not a geographical place.[/quote]
Heaven is both! You don't know your eschatology. And once again, you contradict your "best friend". I'm going to believe him before you --unless you can convince me why you're being truthful and why your "best friend" was such an spiritual moron or deceiver. Why should anyone believe you over Him?

Consider people with NDE's who meet loved ones. How do you think they link up in the afterlife? It is not through some intellectual map they have of Heaven. It is through the power of Love and its law of attraction.
God and Jesus and all the Saints and Angels did not become who they are by reading a flawed book but by the power in their hearts that is generated by God. You had to go out and get the book externally . But Divine Love comes standard within everyone and it is your job to find it in this life. I have experienced it and I am a witness that what Jesus said about the kingdom being within is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
You need to stop hiding behind your Book and start opening up to God's love within. Really experience it. Really feel it. Not think his love. Use your Heart, not your mind. Then you will be in Heaven on Earth,

The book is "flawed" due to very minor copyist errors over the many centuries (variances in spellings, in numbers and the like); but yet in no matters of Faith or Practice are there any contradictions. And, again, your "best friend" quoted very often from those "flawed" OT manuscripts and taught people that they were
authoritative in matters of Faith and Practice.
When Jesus stood up in a synagogue and read from Isaiah and told his listeners that he fulfilled the passage he just read, was your "best friend" delusional or just an outright deceiver? Was he a lunatic or liar?
