According to the Bible…

My point is, this woman may exhibit breathtaking ignorance on a national stage, but who are these critics to throw stones?

You have got the be kidding, brother.

It is one thing to get a few facts wrong, or to be somewhat uninformed, or to have a one-side view of something. People make mistakes.

But, this is an example of not just a kind of GROSS IGNORANCE but of a kind of DELUSIONAL BELIEF, a COLOSSAL MISUNDERSTANDING upon a scale that should rock this country to the core.

It is about, what, a six grade education of history to understand the basics of the general eras of civilization? Perhaps eighth grade.

This is not just getting immigration numbers wrong. This is about the overall, average intelligence of the American Populous. ALL of those on that show have demonstrated a PROFOUND IGNORANCE.

And that is not the worst of it! They all probably believe that they are quite educated! That they are pretty well informed about what they are saying.

This is not just about getting a few facts wrong. We all do that from time to time.

As far as “teaching the Bible” goes, the problem stems from the basic fact that people seem to think that one needs to just “learn the Bible” and then nothing else. Which is absolute idiocy and the cause of so many problems.

Understanding history is certainly not antithetical to the Bible. One can have a great understanding of history and still retain a faith in Christianity and in Jesus’s teachings.

Those who rely on just the Bible for their education are those who accomplish nothing in their lives.

Doug Chalmers, just save it in “My Favorites” and read it at your leisure. I know it’s kind of long (takes a couple hours at least to absorb it all), but you can scroll down to any date/event in history to find an alternate to what we have been propagandized into believing is historical truth/fact. Good hunting.

#118791 by PaulMagillSmith on 12/07: “...religion is just a tool these insidious people use to keep all of us divided, so they can profit by selling weapons to both sides of conflicts….”

Thanks, PMS. I don’t know which section you wnat me to read there - there’s quite a lot, but I agree with your main point that there is a RICHISTAN in existence and its members (Rothschilds included) have generally decided to pretend “...WE ARE the chosen people!” and to cut the world up accordingly.

But please don’t confuse my statements as “headbutting” as you then miss my point about erroneous misinterpretations. There is, after all, quite a bit of wisdom in most religious works but it is being undermined and the plethora of so-called plain-language “new bibles” released in the past few decades had done much to worsen that.

As I said, what could be more absurd that “a log of wood” in your eye yet that is typical of the incredulous shoddy translations being foisted upon people nowadays. And, that also goes to show that most priests and ministers these day haven’t a clue, either, and can hardly be relied upon for accuracy never mind spiritual guidance.

“Oh, yeah, right, PMS, ha ha! So Bauer/Rothchild “came first” before the Hindus and so forth just like Jesus “came first”, then the dinosaurs, then the Greeks….......”

Hi Doug, good to see you posting, and I actually have enjoyed your theological ‘debate’ with niloroth, very interesting & somewhat informative, even if you don’t agree on an insignificant point. Your head-butting confirms the point I made, “...religion is just a tool these insidious people use to keep all of us divided, so they can profit by selling weapons to both sides of conflicts.”

As far as the Bauers/Rothschilds originating the design of the so called ‘Jewish’ Star, of course not. The first one was likely traced in the sand by some artistic caveman well before the Sphinx, or possibly the Lascaux Cave painting.

If you will look back & read more carefully you will see what I actually said was, “...the symbol on the Ireali flag, a six pointed star sometimes referred to erroneously as a ‘Jewish Star’, comes from a business sign hung outside the store of the non-Jewish Georgian (Russia)Bauer family sometime over a thousand years ago.”

Obviously, you didn’t take time to peruse the link I posted or you wouldn’t have made the assumption you did.

For the record, as a former geology major, I believe dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago, and no human person ever rode one. I guess I’m leaving myself open to someone claiming the ‘mythological’ Jesus possibly rode one, but doesn’t this, in REALITY, make my point exactly?

“That’s why the Jews have a Hexagon as a religious symbol - because they don’t really understand these things, uhh.”

Actually, the symbol on the Ireali flag, a six pointed star sometimes referred to erroneously as a ‘Jewish Star’, comes from a business sign hung outside the store of the non-Jewish Georgian (Russia)Bauer family sometime over a thousand years ago. Later the family changed names to Rothschild, and have been creating havoc in the world for hundreds of years. The six pointed star translates geometrically & numerically into 666, which from a common acceptance of it’s/their sinister designs against humans is totally appropriate. Here is a timeline of the history of this family, and the dastardly acts they have caused & foisted upon us:

After you have read this history you will understand religion is just a tool these insidious people use to keep all of us divided, so they can profit by selling weapons to both sides of conflicts.

#118674 by niloroth on 12/07 at 9:21 am: “You still havn’t figured it out have you?..... and you have no way to defend your stance…”

Ha ha, you’r in denial (D’Nile!), niloroth - and its affected you.  Seriously, is there some mental ward out there somewhere that only lets the patients use the computer to view truthdig?

By the way, it was track 5 “My Love Takes Over” on that link. Even then, the word “cut” is not a literal meaning either - how would one cut with ones eyes? It means “a hurtful glance” so validates my explanation.

So, for generations (or maybe it was only recently?), biblical scholars have been able to mislead themselves - and others - by their obsessive obtuseness and resultant ignorance, uhh.

If you wish to stay with the “wooden” version of Dokos as the Greek root, consider that it also referred to “straight” wooden poles (like a tent-pole) as well as logs before sawn wood ever existed.

Thus, it referred to “a straight look” in ancient useage as well. As we know, there are straight looks, sharp looks, and hard looks….... nothing to do with any “log” in your eye, you sad fool!

If religion is “The opiate of the people” then this woman has oviously had an O.D., but just hasn’t fallen down yet.

As for you, lastdaywatchers, if you actually believe this insane, poorly written, dogmatic fiction, you are making us scroll past in this thread, then you & your space cadets are worthy of pity.

Have you ever considered that those who welcome & try to hurry us toward Armageddon are at best suicidal, and at worst mass murderers, both the vilest of sins according to ‘your own’ accepted dogma?

Hey, she might be right.  I think I saw a photo once of Jesus, riding in a Ford Expedition.  Funny thing is, it had one of those “W ‘04” bumper stickers with a circle around it and a line through the middle.

On the plus side - Sherri isn’t gay and isn’t likely to become gay during her inevitably short tenure on “The View”

On the negative side - she probably votes.

Here is more truth of God Word, not the vain inmaginations of men

The truth of God Word “The May 15 Prophecy have made it known to those who watch, that the Little Horn (Anti-Christ) was here once before (actually twice, but once in recorded history) in the form of Alexander The Great, and while in possession of him he was worship as a god, the Egyptian anointed him as the greatest of all Pharaohs and he was the only one to be proclaimed as the son of Zeus-Ammon, as all of our most respected sources of history show.

You still havn’t figured it out have you?  I am not talking about recent western scholars misinterpreting the bible.  I am talking about the words that were used in the manuscripts the bible was based off of, and the meanings of those words, both on their own, and in the context they are found in.  You made something up, i called you on it, and you have no way to defend your stance other than post some BS and link to a CD.  Thats all.

Folks,

There are times when “What the f***?” is more than enough. There’s no extra credit at stake here.

“My own take, for example, is that Jesus was crucified in 1294 (see Anatoly Fomenko, the Russian mathematician and historian for more detailed arguments), thus, certainy there is no way that I will believe that Jesus came before 1294-33=1261.”

Wow, just when i thought that the crazy crown in this thread would go to douglas.  Seriously, is there some mental ward out there somewhere that only lets the patients use the computer to view truthdig?

Sherri is not unusual in her isolation from the world, because we all are, especially when it comes to discussing religion, Christian or other denominations. My own take, for example, is that Jesus was crucified in 1294 (see Anatoly Fomenko, the Russian mathematician and historian for more detailed arguments), thus, certainy there is no way that I will believe that Jesus came before 1294-33=1261. America is a kind of odd island in the sea of religious beliefs. Its people believe they know it all. But thanks to Sherri, we all know how little we know.

#118534 by niloroth on 12/06: “...nothing to do with the island.  Are you making this up…”

Niloroth, just because people say something is so, doesn’t mean that it is so. Lazy Western biblical scholars and anthropologists, etc etc abound.

Think it through - what could be more absurd than referring to a “log” or “beam of wood” inside your eye???

This only serves to emphasise my original point that there are many misinterpretations in the bible. The worst are those by scholars who should know better…...

So many emotions are expressed through the eyes. Before juvenile action cinema, close-ups of actors would show their expressions - especially in Asian movies.

Love, hate, anger, longing, etc etc etc, everything is shown in one’s eyes   - try these lyrics of Dawn Penn from Jamaica:-

“But you will never see me cry
Even as you cut me with your eyes…”

Douglas:

dokos, from dechomai.  It has nothing to do with the island.  Are you making this up as you go along? 

YOU YOURSELF linked to a site that lists all the words in the greek concordance.  Go back to that site and use it.  There is no way you could be more wrong about your reading of that verse.  Well, maybe there is, and i await for your next post for you to prove it.

#118508 by niloroth on 12/06: “Dokos clearly references a beam or stick of wood…. So stop reading something that isn’t there into the scripture….”

Poor niloroth, ha ha. A literal interpretation is irrelevant when it comes to actual useage of a language. Try translating back and forth between “Engrish” and Japanese or Chinese and you will soon see.

Dokos (Greek: Δοκός) is a small Greek island of the Argo-Saronic Gulf, adjacent to Hydra, and separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait called on some maps “the Hydra Gulf.”

The old term came from the sailors having to keep “a sharp eye” or look out for the island - or they might run aground on the rocks there. Do you want to go on….... http://isthmia.osu.edu/dokos.html

Douglas:

“A “beam” in relation to an “eye” has everything to do with “light’ but hardly a “log” and, I might ask, why have people so often misunderstood this simple phrase?”

That only makes sense in the ENGLISH version of the text.  However, while ENGLISH can use both meanings for the word beam, GREEK does not.  The word in question is beam in ENGLISH, but dokos in GREEK.  Dokos clearly references a beam or stick of wood. 

“Thus so many quotations from religious scripture are erroneous and eventually misleading.”

that is my point.  So stop reading something that isn’t there into the scripture.

#118503 by niloroth on 12/06: “...in no reading or version of matthew 7:3 can you read the idea of a beam of light into it.  It is clearly a beam of wood, check any concordance….”

No niloroth, and this is an interesting point when it comes to orthodox Christianity - and maybe some other religions as well, too.

It has nothing to do with concordance but accuracy. Yes, there are versions which state that it is a “piece of wood” and that is exactly why I pointed that out.

Think about it a while yourself and you will see the sense in the way I have described it. Thus so many quotations from religious scripture are erroneous and eventually misleading.

A “beam” in relation to an “eye” has everything to do with “light’ but hardly a “log” and, I might ask, why have people so often misunderstood this simple phrase?

King James Bible - “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” http://bible.cc/matthew/7-3.htm

Douglas Chalmers:

Actually, in no reading or version of matthew 7:3 can you read the idea of a beam of light into it.  It is clearly a beam of wood, check any concordance.

This does not change the fact that this is all fairy tale stuff, but at least cite it properly.

#118434 by jcbrap on 12/06: “...remove the log from your own eyes, instead of looking at the speck in other people’s eyes….”

It was a “mote” and a “beam” in the bible, jcbrap, and mote means speck but beam meant a ray of light, not a “log”. It referred to a sharp look…...

Huh? It’s not hypocrisy to criticize someone in a position of influence for their ignorance of easily demonstrated facts (i.e. Earth is a sphere), nor is it hypocritical to get Biblical “facts” wrong in the process (an error, not hypocrisy).

It may appear hypocritical to get Biblical facts wrong while criticizing someone who’s getting scientific and historical facts wrong, but the major difference is that the Bible is an arbitrary work of literature, having several translations available to pick from (with substantial differences) and infinite interpretations possible, so arguing within the confines of the Bible is as pointless as arguing about the true origin of Orcs in the Lord of the Rings. There may be valid debates possible about Orc origins within the context of the books, and I may be ignorant of them, but no one is going to convince me that Orcs are REAL merely through debate.  Just because I don’t know all the details of someone’s dark fairy tale does not mean my criticism of their lack of knowledge of clear-cut facts concerning the real world is hypocritical. The point is, she is doing damage.

BTW: Lord of the Rings is FAR better than the Bible; it teaches more and better lessons, it’s much more entertaining, it’s internally consistent, and no one uses it as justification for atrocities they may commit.

This represents the pinnacle of intellectual discussion on the View: A Monostatic Yeasty Vagina Circus. When Rosie O’Donnell attempted discussion of the 9/11 conspiracy, they released the baboons, and that was the end of her. Quit watching the View. Stream real women like Naomi Klein, Barbara Ehrenreich and Naomi Wolf on your computer instead: Watch Democracy Now with Amy Goodman.They talk about things other than the sponsors’ products and celebrities. On the view Jesus is a celebrity: “He was getting out of His limo at Billy Graham’s library the other night; Mary J. Blige on his arm; Then His robe flew open; And no man-panties, Girl; His Holy Junk was right in your face!”

Obviously, Sherri has spent some quality educational time at the Creationism Museum (which, I’m proud to admit, is in my geographic backyard).  The highlight of the museum tour is a short film which shows Jesus riding a dinosaur to the very first performance of “CATS”—some 1,000 years ago.  As the film points out, Jesus had not yet invented the wheel.  This would become critical several years later when Jesus began work on the Egyptian pyramids.

To quote Homer Simpson:  “Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true!”

What an ignorant debate this is. When you believe in the fairy tales espoused by religious types and their religious texts you have essentially surrendered yourself to lies and deceit.  Come on people, anyone who has studied the history of religion and the Bible (not to mention the Torah, Koran, etc.) knows that they were conceived and written by MEN, NOT GOD.  They were conceived to CONTROL people.  To manipulate them. 

If believing those lies helps you get through the day, then fine, but please spare the rest of us who actually have a brain and are able to think for ourselves the indignity of listening to your unhinged view of the world.

You so-called Christians can’t even follow the dictates of your supposed savior Jesus.  Didn’t he say to love your neighbors and your enemies?  Didn’t he say to turn the other cheek?  Isn’t one of the commandmandments “thou shall NOT kill”?  Christian nation my ass!

You hypocrites all need to remove the log from your own eyes, instead of looking at the speck in other people’s eyes. STOP trying to force your decrepit world view on everyone else!  TRY, just this once, to do what Jesus told you and remove yourselves from the public square where you gesticulate and pander to God and move it into your house, behind closed doors.

Look, it’s simple. From the point of view of most, if not all, Christians (at least until the conclusion of the Council of Nicaea) believe that Jesus was begotten by God at the beginning of time. As a carnal manifestation of God, he existed for all time, both past and future. So, in that sense, it’s perfectly appropriate for a Christian to assert that “Jesus came first.” Just like a Rabbi saying that the Torah was the first law because they believe it existed with God since before the creation of the earth.

So get over yourselves. You ain’t much smarter than she is if you lash out and attack with no understanding.

Yeah, you got it!  Very few know the history of Christianity.  My only question is; does she know this?  Many things were decided at the Council of Nicaea, including whether the Mono-Theistic or Trinitarian (poly-theistic)view of Christianity would be adopted.  The poly-theistic view prevailed, thereby establishing the doctrine of the trinity or trinitarian view.  I cannot recall the name of the epistle.

Okay guys and gals; Sherri Shepard got it right!  Now just calm down and listen: If you are a Trinitarian (god/son/holy ghost), then God is the Son and the Holy Ghost, separate, but one and the same, so then, of course Jesus predated the dinosaurs’ silly!  It’s as plain as the nose on your face.  Hey, God said it, I believe it, end of story.  This way, I don’t have to stress-out by thinking.

#118331 by Scott on 12/05: “God made the universe with a ratchet and the socket was just a Snap-on of his finger…”
The Ratchet has a Cube to snap onto, Scott - that’s important.
The Socket attaches to the Cube and has 12 angles within so it can align with the hexagonal nut or bolt.
That’s why the Jews have a Hexagon as a religious symbol - because they don’t really understand these things, uhh.
The Nut is “female” and the Bolt is “male” - nominally, of course (plumbers understand these things, actually - that’s why they charge so much!).
The Christians think the 12 Angles are 12 disciples or some such - and they confuse Angles with “angels”, uhh.
According to #118127 by niloroth, the Cube is “time” - but, so what? Time is really a dimension of Creation. Only 3 of the dimensions of Creation have shape but don’t confuse things by calling that a “trinity”!
I could go on….......

I thought that Bush was the bottom of the barrel in terms of ignorance and stupidity.  It would appear there is a trap door at the bottom of the barrel.  It just opened when Sherri Sheppard dropped that gem of knowledge.

I’d like to know more about these sockets of the universe.

God made the universe with a ratchet and the socket was just a Snap-on of his finger?

Here is More excerpt of the May 15th Prophecy<.b> post titled <b>“The 6 Insurrections (Insurgency)”

“Jude wrote concerning Enoch in Jude 1 verse 14

“for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: “

I’m glad she has not made any more ignorance statements like Jesus had many wives, Jesus visited America or he comes back to Missouri. In that matter, Mormon leaders are more ignorant than Sheri.

The important thing is that she is not openly gay and openly opposed to George Bush and his war-mongering administration.  Did I mention that she isn’t gay?

It is obvious that Sheri never ate of the “tree of knowledge”, that GOD (?), quoted by words of hearsay, written down after generations of oral traditional gossip, warned about in the bible. Between the religious organizations, which continue to keep people of faith ignorant and full of superstitious beliefs against actual truths and facts of logic, even in the face of proven evidence to the contrary, to the dumbing down of the population not only in America, but the world as a whole, this should be no surprise. She is a product of the times.

Sheri never had a chance to develop the intelligence she was born with. Religious dogma was no doubt pounded into her from the time of birth, eradicating any natural intellect she once possessed. Schooling just reinforces this view. If this country ever allows the religious groups to put religious training back into the schools, it will be one giant step back to the Dark Ages. We will see more of the same type of illogical behaviour out of the people of America that we now witness today here and in other countries where lack of education, religious domination, intolerance to anything outside of strict view of interpretation of whatever religious book currently being used by the dominating ruling group.

Let the stoning begin.

You may 15th people are only a slight step above the time cube guy.

the sockets of the universe…

Sheri Shephard almost seems sensible.

I believe that recently some football player from Florida, who went to play an exhibition game in England, said that he was surprised that the English spoke English.

If yopu want the true timeline on the history of the Universe Here is a excerpt of the May 15th Prophecy titled “The 6 Insurrections (Insurgency)”

The only source that has been 100% accurate to the “Truth” that happening today

“I therefore inform you of all 6 Insurrections (Insurgency) noted below to make plain of the 5th the world about to experience, they are

Two Rebellions are done, but four remain “

It makes one wonder what, perhaps hidden, talents this woman has to make her eligible to sit in front of cameras and air her baseless opinions and untested assumptions.

I can’t decide whether I pity her more for her profound ignorance or am angry with those in charge who allow such an air-head to waste not only our time but the valuable electrons required to send her image into cyberspace.

I sure hope the TV signal doesn’t reach any genuinely intelligent life “out there.” This is embarrassing!

Even if her knowledge is completely faith (and not historically) based, ever heard of the Old Testament? Moses? The Jews? Adam and Eve? Who prophesized the birth of Jesus if nothing came before him?

Of course, I once had a college course in religion with two students who would not believe that Abraham didn’t live to be 900 years old. Yowza.

“Does it matter who was first?As long as 10000 years of human history can produce a Sheri Shephard I think that argues against Darwin.Or did Darwin have an evolution in reverse theory?”

i am thinking she is at the low end of the bell curve, so, thankfully, no does not disprove darwin.

This is a perfect example of why religion makes people more dumber.  She has claimed she believes everything in the bible, and, well, she is kinda keeping with that.  for instance, the bible says the earth is flat, and she thinks that might be so, and she doubts the existence of anything before christ, which i must admit is a stretch even for most christians.  Although, she probebly also believes the earth is only 6,000 years old, so really, just a matter of how wrong she is.

Like most christians, she doesn’t even know her own holly book.  I wonder if she supports slavery and the submission of women as well, and of course the murder of gays and heritics? 

Ignorance is deadly.

The Panel of The View pretty much takes two giant steps backwards for any gains woman have made in this country over the last hundred years and helps to reconfirm the stereotype of the “ugly, uninformed American”.

How could any show, even if it is centered on frivolous stuff such as entertainment industry watching and fashion hire a host such as Shepard who just plainly lacks intellectually curiosity? I mean, here’s a purported Christian who apparently has even read her own religious tome, you know, the one where Jesus doesn’t show up until the second half.

Do you think the producers just decided they needed someone dumber than a stump to attract the untargeted dumber than a stump segment of the audience?

The Greeks came first???? That just shows how utterly steeped in Western European pseudo-history these women are anyway, ha ha!

Iraq and Iran (Persia) were before the Greeks - and India and China before that…....
