The Bible tells

[breadnbutter]

You people who believe this are beyond stupid

then go your own way, no one is forcing you to read this, if you hate it so much why you replying with anger, abuse, verbal trash. just chill ,get on with something else, maybe in the future you see things different, but slagging us off wont make no difference, the truth is the truth. not you ,not me , can change it.

 

[Notch7]

truth is the truth

Unfortunately that statement carries an assumption: that your interpretation is the truth.

The difficulty with religion is that it is divisive.

A Christian believes their way is the route to heaven. Therefore a Muslim, by definition cannot go to heaven.

glad you spotted that...you see even scripture puts pressure on people...
it would be interesting to know how many christians really take this on

ps how was the auschwitz tour?...i believe it looks a lot cleaner now that they "softened" the image the allies saw and what we see..in part..on the ducumentaries..

i have been to yad vashem in insrael where the graphics are larger and some of the items on show a bit glossed up to make an "interesting" tour...
however there is a chamber lit only by candles and a series of mirrors give an impression of walking through the stars...each little light was a child...its quiet and dark except for the "stars" looking at you..quietly a voice recites every childs name. it takes 24 hours to name them all..

some day i think i too will visit auschwitz...i have heard it said you wont feel God's prescence there but His abscence..

cheers

Surely that is a cop out.

So - not all-caring omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and infallable.

More omni inutilia.

its not my interpretation, you can read it yourself in the bible, scriptures, plane to see.

yes it is, and it always will be , until Christ returns, then it will be sorted out once and for all.

A Christian believes their way is the route to heaven. Therefore a Muslim, by definition cannot go to heaven.

no one can enter the kingdom of God, without Christ ,he is the only one that can take away sin, the very thing that banished us in the first place.

... but do you not see? The bible is an interpretation.

I thought the first part of your message was fair enough. Nobody should be abusive towards you for your beliefs. But the last line, no - these are your beliefs, your truths. You've no right to speak for anyone else and nor should you. It's that kind of thinking that causes so much conflict and problems in the world and that's why I really don't like any religions at all.

Well that is what some people have said about the atrocities at auschwitz

I am not speaking for everyone, all I am doing is sharing the message of what I believe and know to be the true, I don't bash people with it, only if they ask questions, and sometimes I can answer and sometimes I cannot, or I cannot answer it without a using 50 pages.

religion or no religion there is always conflicts. ask stalin. devout athiest

... but do you not see? The bible is an interpretation.

It’s a number of successive translations with errors
Aramaic to Hebrew to Greek to Latin to olde English and then paraphrased in colloquial English in the modern editions
The narrative is always the same, the sources are part spoken and written, and influenced by early Mesopotamian legends.
The word ..authorised.. was applied to the King James Version.
quotations are impossible to verify being subject to various texts and notations
Long verbatim dialogues could not have been recorded when not spoken in the prescence of others

Even if ideologically acceptable

Who wrote a stop sign or beware of landslides? One makes considered choices without prompting beneficial primarily for themselves initially then include others.

Not all historical quotes are verbatim but tailored to suit the tale

My kingdom for a horse? This is what Shakespeare wrote not what Richard the third said before he was butchered.
