Said Mrs. VP Wierwille about victor p wierwille?

I think I know who started this rumor. I can tell you the source of this rumor is unreliable. HOWEVER, it seems to fit with the other last words, so it's plausible he could have said something like this.

Mmmmph Thanks, WordWolf.

What was it vic said at the end of his life? Something about searching his mind for when or where he went wrong? He couldn't find anything. This doesn't sound like someone admitting or repenting anything, and it doesn't line up with wishing to be a man he knew to be. It sounds more like those criminals who burst into tears at the sentencing stage of their trials. They aren't sorry for what they've done, they are only sorry for getting caught.

Only now?

I know. victor didn’t want you to pay attention, or hoped you wouldn’t. All hucksters depend on the blasé credulousness of their audience for their tricks to work.

No doubt you are, cuh…. No doubt you are.,,

That’s because you failed to absorb it the first time. Go back and re-watch and re-read. Retain it. But don’t release it until it’s fully absorbed.

No, I’m just saying it doesn’t make sense in any era, considering the context. The “at least twice“ is your methodology to probing - where it’s used before. I’m just reading it for what it says right where it’s written. I don’t need to MAKE it fit any opinion.

Sounds like you are describing the good ol days of TWI. Sounds like you are describing the dupes who sat at the feet of Vic.

There is no punctuation in the Greek. How then could it be moved? I’ve tried to find other verses in Luke where Jesus reminds his audience that he is speaking to them on the same day that they are listening to him. MOREOVER, Jesus and those two criminals knew that day on the cross was their last. Would that dying criminal need to be reminded that the day Jesus was speaking was the day he was speaking? Which other day, if not today? But, hey, if there is a religious theological position to advance, and one clings and clutches to inerrancy, well, one will just have to MAKE it fit, like a hand in a…

I rest my case.

The irony of this does not escape my sense of humor. I learned it by watching you. *The read-only folks at home should not limit their reading to GSC, victor wierwille, Mike, or Nathan_Jr. They should read deeply, widely. They should find out for themselves.

You don't understand how language changes, either. And you don't want to understand. Again, I could explain it and provide some links, but I won't waste my time, and you don't have the time -- all your projects keep you too busy to learn. I'll give you a hint: language changes, it doesn't evolve. Find out for yourself what drives language to change.

You still don't understand critical thinking or confirmation bias. You are willfully ignorant of what those terms mean.

You really don't understand the meaning of critical text, textual criticism or critical thinking. The word critical/criticism really throws you for a loop. Victor was confused about this, also. I could explain it all to you, but it's clear you are unwilling to learn, to find out. I won't waste my time.

As WordWolf points out, victor was WAY off on this. Not even close. If a "doctor" could be so, so inaccurate about how (H-O-W) we got the Bible, what other egregious errors might he spew? Anyone can find out. Test all things.

Thanks. So, words interpret themselves? Great. I'll start working that key to test for its efficacy.

Fair enough. Let's see if Mike can get honest with his answers. We've asked honest questions. Can you answer me this: Are we talking about the keys to words interpreting themselves?

Keys to how words interpret themselves? Seriously. Just trying to understand. Help a brotha out, please.

You have yet to mention details. This is not a gotcha. It’s a simple question. What are your methods?

Not an answer. What are the methods?

What methods of probing are acceptable to you?

Does no one see a distinction between what is known and what is believed? Between certainty and probability?

As in Luke 23:43? The criminal would be unconscious in paradise with the master?
