I have extreme doubts that you are well versed enough in ancient Hebrew to tell me that the passage is about abortion when scholars who do actually know that language and the idiom of the Bible are not agreed on the subject. One source thinks it's not an abortion. Literally everyone else thinks it's an abortion. So why don't you explain why the one source is wrong, or do you think it is valid to say "every source that I have looked at with no more than a layman's knowledge seems to think I am right, therefore I am right?" You have no idea what you are talking about, because you have no idea how to read the source material. Your opinions are garbage. And the opinions of those non-laymen who say that it's referring to an abortion (or at least something similar to an abortion)? I am not saying their opinions are incorrect. However, TC has decided to side with some scholars, who he no doubt has not read anyway, while disregarding the views of others who do not agree with him. He has promoted as fact that a priest was sanctioning an abortion in that passage, when it is not even clear in the scholarly literature that that is an accurate depiction of what happened in the text. Therefore, TC's opinion on the subject is obviously baseless, when the most he can say as a layman who has not even read the Hebrew is that scholars are divided on the subject. --- It will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. \| I did not come to bring peace to the earth, but the sword. -Jesus <cite>Callixtus posted [p:892120274] in Christiani...
