Nice girls of morals, do.

 

[RodISHI]

I couldn't find anyone here who believes the bible is true, so it seems like if you read the bible, you'll be hard pressed to find it believable.

It is true, again it is by interpretation. If you seek to understand it without that holy spirit that guides you then simply follow those eleven commandments. Some day you'll have a eureka moment on the pieces and parts you need to know. If you remain in denial you won't get there.

Was the world made in 6 days? No. Was there a worldwide flood? No. Did Jesus really turn water into wine? No... and on and on... So I can't interpret it as written? That's laughable, brah.

Is a day as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day in the spirit? Can a mere mortal perceive or understand what is in eternity? The Bible is a guide for you (the world of you, everything has patterns. I already told you that the book describes what is in you the human) Are you still walking through the garden (you that lump of earth with breath that was made into a living soul) living in your own pleasures (eden) asleep? Baptized in water which the spirit turns into wine; again within you, as each is member in the body of Christ.

Continue to laugh if it makes you feel better as it is you who has not been awaken yet.

So you have to make up alternate meanings for what's in the bible for it to make sense to you? Ya, I can see that. But here's my question: if the bible is supposed to mean something other than what is written, why didn't whomever wrote it just write it like that to start with so everyone would be on the same page, as it were?

If you don't have the spirit yet what difference does it make to you? Not all desire to walk in truth and not all are born on the same day. Is a two year old as competent as a fifty year old? Are all plant varieties planted in the same season? Do you whine that they are not all equally endowed at the same moment in time?

If a person is not worthy do you think they should be given anything or should the spirit in them hold them back from crashing themselves into the abyss? Or do you simply think everyone should get a free pass to do whatever they wish any time and anywhere they desire without consequences? Everyone is created with that same pattern it is the choices each makes that determine where they will walk. You apparently are determine to walk in denial so that is what you get for this time and season.

Funny, that's one idiot who never read past that point........ Obviously he wants to bend scripture to his will not the other way around.........

That's true of all christians. They all pick and choose what they want to believe.

I say, read whatever you want but I prefer non-fiction.

[hadit]

At home or at Church is fine

At school or in government = not fine.

Why is it impermissible for a student to read the Bible in school?

Boy, good thing that verse was directed at a specific church whose women were visiting soothsayers and then prophesying in church. Otherwise, Christ's mother could have never ministered. Neither could Phoebe, and the others.

Seriously, they will not hear you. They can't.

Stereotype and generalize often? Of course you do, why am I asking.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

In order to understand world history in general, and western history in particular, it is essential to have familiarity with what we call 'the Bible' (there being many versions and much debate over them). In this historical context, it should definitely be studied in school, albeit in a strict manner and entirely connected to events and consequences. Also, much of art demands biblical familiarity in order to be understood and interpreted.

In the context of a university level course on comparative religions but never ever in the lower grades. And obviously, not as fact or non-fiction.

There's little left of the original text. All of the translations, always with the translator's agenda have watered it down.

As to it being proof of a super being, that's just nonsense.

As I've written before, the proof that the bible is true and real is that the bible says it is true and real.

The proof that god is true and real is that the bible says god is true and real.

Its a tautology.

And it plagiarized from many other religions.

Yes I do. So do you.

But even christians say they don't believe all of the bible is fact. Ask them about Noah, the ark, two by ow and many say its not a description of something that actually happened.

This time of year, I ask again, why did Noah include chiggers? fleas? ticks? You got an answer for that?

I'm not denying anything, I'm asking, like, is being grumpy and telling people how unworthy they are the path to heaven? Or have you already resigned yourself to not being let in?

Actually I rarely stereotype or generalize except in humor and I make it obvious it's humor. As for how many Christians and non Christians interpret the bible is their business, not mine. Also pursuant your last question....... How the fuck do I know, I wasn't there.

It's as OK to read as any other story book.

but what if in reality ...

and is proven (by history) as being duplicitous, by invection to commit crime -

hasn't society a duty to intervene and at least correct the purposeful delusion that it represents the events of the 1st century and is a product of political dissemination of a particular focused persuasion.

a warning the same as for mein kampf comes to mind for early publications with similar historical relevance, koran and torah.

I think some people read "litteraly" the Bible but maybe the best way to read all sacred texts is using allegory
