The Truth Of The Bible.

[Theland]

Only the bible describes the state of the world as we head into the End Times.
Only the bible has verifiable prophecies that can be tested for truth.
Is it not time to take the bible seriously?

[naomi24]

So you keep saying. Fact is I read it without preconceived notions and something quite different to what you're 'reading' emerges. How is that?

[ynnafymmi]

I always take the Bible seriously,Hun.As for you Theland,i think you are an Anti-Christ ,son of Satan.

[Barmaid]

So Naomi has read the same text as you, but because she doesn't reach the same conclusion she is bigoted?

So tolerance is not a message from the bible?

And isn't the bible down to interpretation as are many facets of Christianity? A good example is the disagreements of Luther, Zwingli and Calvin.

[Theland]

ynnafetc - anti Christ? I suppose its too much to ask for evidence?

[Theland]

Barmaid - Naomi should be able to read what God said He would do to His people if they disobeyed Him.
He kept His word did He not?

[ynnafymmi]

@00.20.As much good asking me for evidence as me asking you for the gender of God.Do you really know if God is a he or a she.

[JimF]

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

[Theland]

Ynn & JimF - You really should engage your brain cells, both of them, before allowing your nervous system to twitch your fingers into typing utter rubbish.

[ynnafymmi]

Pots and kettles,Theland?

[Theland]

God is the Creator of, and is above and beyond gender.

The avocation of making prophecies fit subsequent events is as painful to watch as Cinderella's step-sisters trying to jam their tootsies into her glass slipper.

[ynnafymmi]

I have been praying to God since the National Lottery started,but havent won anything.When i complained to God,he/she responded by telling me to think about buying a ticket.Damn.Never thought about that.

[Theland]

Oh dear MIBs, have you ever actually studied the subject?

[mibn2cweus]

I won't be seeking tutoring from the wicked step-mother, if that's what's worrying you.

[naomi24]

Theland, //Naomi should be able to read what God said He would do to His people if they disobeyed Him.//

He (or rather his fanciful representatives) rule you by fear. The original 'Godfather'.

// BarmaidSo Naomi has read the same text as you, but because she doesn't reach the same conclusion she is bigoted?

erm - if a high court judge sashays in and says - I havent read any background ( to the law of scrunty or whatever ) because I reach MUCH better opinions if I dont .... fresh mind see?

everyone claps and says - yes m'lud and wisdom of solomon ?

how different it was in my day

[10ClarionSt]

Here we go again. Religion - the crutch of the weak minded.

oh very good -
the then bible wasnt looked on as a book of prophecies in AD 0
was it? To find out the answer - you have to read a book by me auld dean of chapel - Anthony Phillips - God BC

oh oops we read the bible without any background - - that IS very fundamentalist, y'all know that innit? - God alone will guide you to what you read .... ( er you dont have to be aware of His influence)

[ToraToraTora]

Theland 23:30: "Naomi - your bigotry blinds you. " - coming from a religious nut job! That's hilarious!

[ToraToraTora]

barmaid: "So tolerance is not a message from the bible? " - well it may be in the bible but the followers of said tome need to look it up!
