I have a question for Christians...

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

He presented his interpretation of the texts. Just like everyone else has been doing for the past 2,000 years.

worlock77

What? We're talking about a book of myths and fables that have been copied, translated, interpreted and reinterpreted countless times over the last 2,000 years. And yes, I can easily see how one could get "God had sex with Mary" out of the notion that the woman became pregnent through the Holy Spirit. And yes, you are being pedantic. You always do this. Your argue over minutia and wording while avoiding the overall point the person was making.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]The texts are clear on that so he wasn't presenting an interpretation in line with what was actually written. That would be like my interpretation of your post as saying you said....it's okay to make up facts. Is my interpretation accurate? Would I be creating falsehoods about you if I spread that as a valid reading of your post? LJS9502_basic

No, the point the person was making was a matter of personal interpretation. I'm not sure what about that is so difficult for you to grasp.

[QUOTE="Stavrogin_"][QUOTE="Stavrogin_"]I have a question for christians, if i'm allowed. If god is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, how do christians justify the numerous contradictions in the bible which is supposed to be the word of god. God "can't be wrong" and yet the bible has so many mistakes and contradictions. How do you justify this and continue to believe?LJS9502_basic

Vague? I thought it was pretty to the point.

A thread questioning the bible? Bravo! *golf clap*

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] The point the person was making was wrong......and your arguing over my correction of the text is more along the lines of arguing minutia.;)

What exactly did he ignore?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]And as I just pointed out to you personal interpretation is not the answer when one ignores what's on the written page. What is difficult to grasp about that?LJS9502_basic

What exactly did he ignore?

What words?

That's a bit vague. What do you expect Christians to do with that?LJS9502_basic

1. God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

2. The bible is the word of god.

3. The bible has mistakes and contradictions.

Question: How do you justify this and continue to believe?

What, you want him to write out a list of every contradtiction in the Bible? That could make for a very long post. The Bible is known to be riddled with contradictions, and even the most staunch of apoligists will acknowledge that.

yes, that is exactly what he wants. because no one would do such a thing, so he makes it his demand.

then when no one will do that, he claims victory

I'll give you one how about that? Take the book of Matthew: John knows full and well who and what Jesus is when he baptises him. Yet later on in the book of Matthew when John is in prison and hears of Jesus' works he seems to be unsure as to whether or not Jesus is the Messiah.

Try reading your holy book. Matthew chapters 3 and 11. As a Christian you should know this.

As for the earth......the bible was written by men....as far as the science of the day....it was in no way as advanced as today. And someday when science advances more.....people will laugh at what we believed.

*link* I didn't. That's what christians believe.

Wait..... what..... EVILBIBLE? :lol: I don't trust that website anymore than the "answersingensis" website. Your under a false assumption that every christian believes in the same exact thing.

[QUOTE="hydralisk86"][QUOTE="harashawn"]The evidence was passed through word of mouth. The desciples shared their stories and teachings, and those stories and teaching were passed on to others by those who heard them, then were eventually written down as the Gospels. There are also historical records which mention Jesus, so if he existed, it would be safe to assume they did as well.harashawn

[QUOTE="alexside1"] You claim it, thus the burden is on you. Not me.alexside1

So a Christian who will not look in the Bible? Peachy.

Anyways what I was trying to say in my earlier post, is that the saints are real because they found thier scalytounges. (skeletons)
