Was it rigged when it found Hunter guilty, you racist asshole?

Yes, queer - it was.

The just us department was FORCED to try hunter after YEARS of suppressing and lying about the evidence against him, and when they did, they left out every crime that involved his pedophile father. 

The same system that reluctantly tried him for his lesser crimes called the evidence "russian disinformation" for years, queer. So the pretense that they tried him as a dispassionate duty is hypocritical.

You love lies. boy.

Opinion. "Analysis." That's all you ever link to, boy.

THAT'S  your proof that the teachers will decide for themselves what is to be taught...?
 

And a teacher's union doesn't decide what next generations choose as character role references cradle to grave to save tomorrow each next rotation of the planet either.
When great great grandchildren recite same time is money scenarios as their great great grandparents had, genetics never reproducing same ancestors twice sure keeps every ancestor reciting same mantra 5 generations running in a row row your social boat gently down the stream of eternally separated ancestors alive today barbershop quartet scenario.

I will tell you this for certain:  not one Christian church, catholic or protestant, that uses the common three-year lectionary will EVER read Ezekiel 23 in Church.

And you know this because of your vast and overwhelming knowledge of the teachings of EVERY Christian church.

Your making **** up again and, as usual, making yourself look exceedingly stupid.

I know that many denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church, Episcopalians, Methodists, Congregationalists, and Lutherans follow the revised common lectionary.  I know this personally because I have spent time as a licensed (not ordained) interim minister in one of those denominations.  Churches who follow the lectionary do so religiously (pun intended), and the three-year-long cycle of readings doesn't change.  Ezekiel 23 is NOT one of them.  That is a fact.

So you know that it starts in FIFTH grade.  And their reasoning is because they believe that the country was built on the teachings of the Bible, particularly the New Testament.

So reading what you claimed to 2nd graders would not apply and that passage has nothing to do with it.

Your Welcome.

they can't say the words new testament or even breathe the name of Jesus in public schools.

Actually, damn near all are.  89.8% of the Gospels are contained in the Revised Common Lectionary.  Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the only books in the Bible that quote Jesus directly, and they are covered extensively.

I'm a bit confused...you've mentioned many time about being an ardent Christian, yet you scoff at the OT writings...are you an NTer like jerritol?

I don't scoff at it, but some of it certainly does not inform or assist Christians in living Christ-like lives.  Ezekiel 23 is one such example.  As I said, I served as the interim minister at a Congregational church in Maine for two years.  We ALWAYS followed the lectionary, which includes an Old Testament passage, a Psalm, a Gospel passage, and an Epistle passage.  I would always use three of those four in every service, and one of them was ALWAYS the Gospel passage.  And 90 percent of the time, my sermon was an exploration of one of those readings.

I did not say He is never quoted, I said a lot of what He said is never mentioned.

The OT is not really meant to inform or assist in living Christ Like lives.  It is meant to setup the story of the foretold coming of the Savior

Almost all of what he said is contained in the lectionary.  89.8% of the four gospels are in the lectionary.  And I would venture to say that the 10.2% of the gospels that are NOT included contain very few red words.

I agree to a degree, however, both testaments of the  Bible are meant to be used by Christians as life lessons.

Explain how Ezekiel 23 advances that narrative, if you would, please.

they never say that Christ said that John the Baptist was elijah in a past life.----------------- matthew11--7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    who will prepare your way before you.’[c]11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Nah.  Not taking demands today.  And I have already destroyed your narrative on that.

they never say that Christ said moses was wrong in saying an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

 

Matthew 11:2-11 is in the common lectionary in Year A, the third Sunday of Advent.
