It doesn’t matter if it is ‘immaterial’. It’s still wrong and demonstrates ignorance. My point is that you are ignorant of hermeneutics and I have made my case. You can take this as a sign to learn something, or you can continue to be ignorant of the subject, but nothing you say can ever change the fact that you said things that were simply wrong.

That's exactly what immaterial means. For someone making such a big stink about ignorance you should know this.

My point is that you are ignorant of hermeneutics

nope, I am trivially incorrect about hermeneutics.

Literally by your own admission my error is meaningless. The only thing if affects is my specific knowledge of hermeneutics, which isn't important in the slightest.

And you willingly admitted that I drew the correct conclusions even with these "errors". So what do they matter?

but nothing you say can ever change the fact that you said things that were simply wrong.

I'm not simply wrong tho. I'm trivially wrong. You have to seize on a detail that is totally irrelevant to the discussion and try to make it the entire discussion or you have nothing. And you know it which is why you are so desperate to make the argument about some pedantic minuscule part of hermanuetics.

Hows this for a startling example of ignorance.

I know a person who has dedicated a substantial amount of time to the study of the methodology and interpretation of biblical texts but somehow missed the part about "love thy neighbor" and "judge not lest ye be judged"

Like I said, I’m simply pointing out where you are wrong. Whether something is ‘trivial’ or ‘immaterial’ or ‘irrelevant’ is not something I consider when I correct people.

Like I said, you aren't tho.

What you are doing is pedantry because, let me reiterate, "where I was wrong" isn't material by your own admission.

Whether something is ‘trivial’ or ‘immaterial’ or ‘irrelevant’ is not something I consider when I correct people.

It really should be, its what separates a wise man from a pedant.

You have openly admitted that the detail I'm "wrong" on is trivial. It doesn't matter at all.

Why would I care about it? Why would anyone care about it?

The point is the bible is a flawed human work created by humans. Knowing the specific order of translations and adaptations is about as important as knowing how many languages Dianetics has been released in.
