Totallyatpeace Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Um, actually TAP if I could make an adjustment to your statement: You answered Zoe Grace's post by explaining that according to your personal interpretation and your specific religious sect's interpretation of certain verses, when the Bible refers to The Word.......it is talking about Christ. Better? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, Cerise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 If you don't believe in God why would you evangelize using God's Word? Good question. I wonder why most Christians haven't figured that one out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fweethawt Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yes. I think certain theories of paul were true. AUB Screw Paul. Way too many people take this "Word" a little too seriously when it comes to reality. This "Word" which is "Christ" according to this "Word" which is a bible, is nothing more than just another idol no matter how one wishes to look at it. Without the "Word" read "Bible", there is no "Christ" because "Christ" is "The Word". (excuse me while I go and scratch my butt again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 For example, the totally different geneologies of Jesus in Luke and Matthew. They both very clearly say that they trace the lineage of Joseph, but they cannot both be true. It is not physically possible. Another example: Jeremiah says right in The Bible (Jeremiah 5:31) that the prophets prophecy falsely. Perhaps he referred to 2 Kings 10:10-30, where God instructs the slaughter by Jehu (of the royal family), but in Hosea 1:4, He turns around and says He wants revenge for those who carried out the prophecy, and did His Dirty Work. So Jeremiah was right. God's prophets don't always get it right. 2 Kings 10:30 is a polar opposite of Hosea 1:4, and one or both must be false. These are just two examples of obvious contradictions that cannot both be true, so there can never be any magic evidence that clears up the "problems"... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure, you are very right. But contradictions give better posibilities for future mutations of Christianity. A preacher can always find somthing in the bible to build his case on.

A preacher can always find somthing in the bible to build his case on. What a wonderful book And there, you just nailed the power of The Lord! (read "word") The contradictions! You can make it say whatever you want it to say for all times and in any generation. Like I said a while back, the bible gives the illusion of seeming eternal when it is in actuality, circular. And since there's no other book like it, it has to be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatically_challenged Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 TAP may be mistaken about beliefs, but what she does and what she feels is based on truth. She is Godly in my opinion but not because of the bible and xianity. She is very intelligent and has class. I hope she doesn't take this thread the wrong way.

Totallyatpeace Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Bringing Asimov's thread back to where it was in the beginning. Sorry, Asimov. My final reply. The Word of God cannot reach someone who does not believe the Word of God is from God because they don't believe that there is a God to begin with.

Totallyatpeace Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Which proves my point. Thank you, thankful. my belief came to an end. It's words are now meaningless to me. Don't worry......I got the "after thorough study" part. TAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
