If The Bible Is The Word Of God... (page 13)

allelsefails

For me a real problem with the Bible is the idea of "the inerrant word of God" that fundamentalists(like JWs) have. No where do the books in the bible claim that they are inspired (except = The "word of Jehovah" that prophets write and 2 Tim 3:16). If there is a God and he revealed himself to Moses in that burning bush - I believe that inspiration should only be claimed for the parts that claim inspiration. (and then judged) The creation account, flood account, most of the "history" in the bible DO NOT CLAIM inspiration. They are the understanding that people had at that time and as such are valuable.

The God of this universe is an experimenter. Look at the stars. There are 2 Galaxies colliding right now. God doesn't seem to care. Look at the proof of evolution in the world around us. Pretty random based on natural phenomenon. The idea that He is the Author of a book is silly. He might intervene once to say "Hey don't murder,steal, lie ... I don't like it." Then we humans take those simple things and build ridiculous religions around them. Then Jesus says "Love your neighbor" he gets crucified and we have eons of war, torture, and martyrs. When are we gonna learn?

"God meant this... "

"No, No, he meant that!"

You believers are just proving our point that God did a crap job of making his so called "Word" clear and consistent.

You are not alone in thinking the same thing: LOL

If The Bible Is The Word Of God… and if it was inspired by the holy spirit, then, in order to understand it, we must access the holy spirit in which it was written in

erm it just ocurred to me you are all say Jesus is one of his kind but then wouldn't that go against trinity theology that says Jesus's kind is God and there are 3 of them of the same kind/nature within God?

My reply:

Time to feed the swine. Re-read my comments. Jesus upon his resurrection took on the title of only-begotten...He still had the same naturne as God but also retained his humanity. I know your little mind will not understnad or accept hypostatic union....so go roll in the mud.

By the way, you should just post under reniaa and dump the spike-tassal nonsense. You are obviously one and the same...not two pigs roling with each other having fun in the pen but one lonely and frustrated pig. The giveaways are 'spike' putting in threads romantic interest in you....making comments about how you took the weekend off, how he sent you pms you didn't reply to, his defense of you...LOL All in an attempt to make it look like you are towqo independednt posters.

If The Bible Is The Word Of God... then it is good not to belittle those you're debating. Terms such as "Time to feed the swine", "your little mind", and "go roll in the mud" hardly show love, which is the identifying mark of the true Christian. Just a word to the "wise".

It was a parable spike, I am sure you can figure out the characters. I just called it like it is.

I thought the Egyptian Pyramid Texts are the oldest known religious texts in the world. If the Bible is the Word of God, what was the hold up? Was God still busy doing a rough draft? Or did he forget to send it to the printers?

No Reniaa, that's not a problem for Trinitarians. Who believe He's 100% God and 100% man. It's a big problem for JWs, who don't seem to know what Jesus is or, what came down from heaven.

spike=Reniaa? hmmm, never thought of that. It could explain a few things.

Spike Tassel

"your little mind" and "go roll in the mud" are not in any of Jesus' parables, actually. "Calling it like it is" may be one way to "justify" things, but it may not be the "love" required of the true Christian.

as for which are the oldest religious texts ever, I'm sure that when the "ancient worthies" are resurrected, we'll get to know, maybe even here on JWN, if it still exists

Hey Deputy, nice to 'see' you.

How's it going? Just a lot of correlations between the two.
