I think children today can understand plain speaking. Why tell a child that the story is false but the underlying lesson is true? Why tell a misbehaving child that someday bad things will happen to them if they continue to misbehave when a good spanking will reveal it to them right here and now.Yes.
To children.
And they are presented as FABLES. They don't purpose themselves to be true stories.
Think about these two things.
you haven't seen a despot that you don't support right?There is no room for these cult outbursts in this discussion. Sorry.
What the Roman Empire wielded wasn't Christianity. See Revelation 12.Like how Christianity was wielded by the Roman empire. But not nearly as bad as that.
Because of what you just said. Your two sentences don't make any sense next to each other.I think children today can understand plain speaking. Why tell a child that the story is false but the underlying lesson is true?
Yes it was. This weasel attempt... "those Christians just did it wrong"... won't work with me.What the Roman Empire wielded wasn't Christianity. See Revelation 12.
You won't go blind if you open a bible.Yes it was. This weasel attempt... "those Christians just did it wrong"... won't work with me.
The Bible teaches moral lessons through real-life parables, not fables.We can speak plainly to them, but we should also lie to them? Incoherent.
Constantine: "Christianity is now the official religion of the Roman Empire, therefore you are all now Christians."Yes it was. This weasel attempt... "those Christians just did it wrong"... won't work with me.
No, but you won't be much smarter or more informed than a goat herder from the year 400, if that's all you open.You won't go blind if you open a bible.
You forgot the, "Or we will kill you and your family" part.Constantine: "Christianity is now the official religion of the Roman Empire, therefore you are all now Christians."
The people: "Yes your highness, we are all now Christians."
Smarter is a relative term, and what does "informed" even mean?No, but you won't be much smarter or more informed than a goat herder from the year 400, if that's all you open.
HahahaSmarter is a relative term
Do you have a more recent example other that one taken from the Dark Ages? Perhaps those people weren't guided by the Holy Spirit, which is necessary to 'rightly divide the word of truth'.Hahaha
No.
Smarter is quite absolute. What is relative is the smarts of the two peole being compared.
What does "informed" mean?
Well let's give an example. The people informed chiefly by the Bible were ignorant, murderous slavers who perpetuated fiefdoms through violence.
Then we gained more knowledge. And more informed people helped us progress past that, with better knowledge from secular ideas.
Again, this won't work on me. They carried the same book of instructions you do.Perhaps those people weren't guided by the Holy Spirit, which is necessary to 'rightly divide the word of truth'.
so according to you simply having the same thing as others makes you the same as them. That is ignorant. Look around millions believe differently than other millions with the same book. In all 3 major religions.Again, this won't work on me. They carried the same book of instructions you do.
What changed? Not the book. What changed is the world around them and you.
How do you account for the world now that the Christian religion is declining in the west? Are we better off?Again, this won't work on me. They carried the same book of instructions you do.
What changed? Not the book. What changed is the world around them and you.
False. Non sequitur. And just waaaay off.so according to you simply having the same thing as others makes you the same as them.
Definitely!How do you account for the world now that the Christian religion is declining in the west? Are we better off?
even 400 years ago there were different beliefs with the same book retard.False. Non sequitur. And justvwaaaay off.
I am pointing out the strak differences between the two of you and someone from the year 400. You all carried the same instruction book. What changed?
Not human brains. What changed is the world around you that you were born into.
Most Christian don't take the Bible or Christianity seriously, giving Christianity a bad name. That's not the fault of the Bible or the religion.so according to you simply having the same thing as others makes you the same as them. That is ignorant. Look around millions believe differently than other millions with the same book. In all 3 major religions.
