But the first point begs the question entirely. Your assertion is based on arguable assumptions, but which have not been established in our discussion. It then becomes based purely on which evidence we deem reliable and which we do not, based on disparate sources which are the heart of the matter in the first place.
I had said that since the man you linked to was a self- subscribed Ukraine apologist AND provided no information one could use to examine his assertions (with clear intent to persuade the reader). Nor could I check the accuracy of the translation. And by omitting —or withholding —these he impeaches himself as a reliable source. I have no way of proving his veracity and neither do you!
Further, had I quoted Jackson Hinkle, your critique might possess some legitimacy (which we would have to endeavor to prove or disprove). But, since I did not mention him at all (I have nothing to do with him) you merely set up a random (& irrelevant!) straw man to knock down.
I’m trying to see if we can start on a level playing field. Please address the issues I raised and leave the assumptions, irrelevancies, straw men and name calling, Ok?
If we can talk about what you’ve linked using verifiable information and objectivity, that would be a good start.
In this case, giving a this prelate’s name and the date of recording would help. Then I could find various translations and check one against another.
I’m bent on ascertaining & settling the question of whom to trust. If we poke holes in one-another’s
Assumptions and assertions, let’s do it with an aim to ascertain & reveal facts & larger truth, not to vilify or denigrate someone or other here or just keep making assertions. As I said before, I think the discussions here degraded to an embarrassingly low level! (Hence the stink eye all around the room 🤨)
I think you agree that we all need to curb & guard against that all-to-human tendency!
Peace and grace to you. Peace in the world. Peace with God.
Ok. I understand what you’re saying.
