Hm. Could I ask which to faith / religion you belong? It is certainly NOT mainstream christianity. I just exchanged a few mails with my Hebrew teacher. He says that even ultraorthodox Bible fundamentalists accept the masoretic vowel system, which has been transmitted to us in a very good and trustworthy way, though one could argue if the vowels are inspired or not. Is this your own teaching or can you suggest books / people to me that I can refer to in order to understand your teaching better? > I think I shouldn't be very careful because God has said me "I will > separate".

This really made me wonder. You know, I and many other people here want to live according to the Bible (you cannot argue about vowels in the NT). And the Bible says: Gal 5:19.20 "Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: ... divisions, false teachings" I Cor 1:10 "Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion." That does not mean that we must always agree on every thing. But seeking divisions is very problematic in my opinion, and certainly a work of the flesh rather than the spirit. Given that you are a priori _aiming_ at division, plus trying to spread false teaching, I am sorry to tell you that your contributions to BibleTime are NOT welcome. You are free to fork the code and continue your own stuff, but we will not allow you to spread your teaching trough our project. I only speak for the BibleTime project, but I want to encourage other project leaders to at least be very careful. Don't let your projects be misused. > P.P.S. My mission was committed by wonders ... I shall not accept this argument as valid. The New Testament makes it clear that everything has to be judged, and only the good should be kept. I am not suggesting that the following verse applies to you directly, but it certainly makes clear that false teaching is not acceptable, even if it comes from an angel who performs signs and wonders. Gal 1:8 "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him." Martin
