That says nothing about the scriptures being veiled.
How can a lie point to the truth?

Define lie.
A metaphor is not a lie.
Jer 8:8 doesn't state that the scripture was veiled. It states that it was corrupted. Those are two different things (ask any IT person the difference between a firewall and a virus). No need to address the rest since you start off with a non-sequitur.
The 20 or so posts before that one were about mingus being high. You may have quoted that verse, which doesn't say what you claim, but you didn't make the argument. Now show me where you have made the argument before. Show me weehre you have made the argument with those other verses.

That is the context. Now where does it say that scripture is misleading.10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the cir cision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
You think God doesn't have multiple ways to veil scripture? You don't think bad translations hide the meanings from the many?
Once again, it is veiled. To you. Pretty flipping obvious to me, though.
The context continues to this day. They don't see the truth because it is veiled and teach error. This passage is to be taken in context with all the rest.
Veiled. Mystery. Parable. Few find the truth.
So you go from Jesus saying that what he had actually been saying at the time being veiled and twist that into this crap?
You're a moron. Jesus tells us he veiled it for a purpose.
Argue with Him.
When you said you were done with this thread, was that a lie or a metaphor?
I read what it says. You add to what it says. 'veiled' 'mystery' 'parable' are not written there and if you think Paul would have bought your ad libbing I can only laugh at you. He is ting on people ad libbing in that verse.
Nice to see your narcissism of being one of 'the few' is still there though.
Peter was one the 'cir cision group' though.
he said 'what I have said' and not your 'it.' you don't get to speak for jesus, narcissist.
Perhaps you should confront your experts on their exegesis of the scripture.
The bible doesn't mention it, though.Once again, it is veiled. To you. Pretty flipping obvious to me, though.
I guess we'll never know the reward of being one of the few.
No scripture is of its OWN interpretation.
Veiled, mystery, and parable are throughout scripture, your carnal, insipid, beast.
Well at least we know that if he has indeed made a claim before he will go back and find them. So when you ask him to prove it and he doesn't then you can know he is full of .
like I said, if he think he gets one up on you he will try and thump his chest about it ad nauseum. He is mentally ill though and I am toying with him again. I should stop.
This makes sense to my mind as I have always spoken about "seeing" something and how most humans cannot "see" due to their programming/conditioning/prejudices/likes/dislikes/fears/desires/beliefs
yes...
Truth/god/love/reality...
Is "veiled" to most people and only a few will ever "see"
Pretty self evident.
Truth is truth wherever it appears from.
Are you stupid?
2 Cor 4:3 - If our gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing.
And I already explained and quoted the veil being removed only in Christ. And being in Christ is not what tradition teaches.
Mark 7:8 - "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
You guys should pick a different debate topic because you are woefully inept regarding scripture.
None of that garbage is truth.
You are a petulant child.
