N. Drew - I want to apologize if you read my comment at first one way and then it looks different. I'm posting from a smart phone and it's a pain in the butt to reread my comment unless I post it first. Then I edit it. Maybe I need an iPad? LOL

How do believers have a relationship with Christ but disagree on parts of the Bible?
How? LOL. If a "believer" persists in public disagreement of parts of the REAL BIBLE* then they are not believing, are they?
*The loving kind way to interpret what Tammy says about the Bible (that I think is true also) is it has been bastardized. And it has, she is right. I am sure it can be "fixed" but I am the only one that I know who would. I do it for myself. For myself I am rewriting the Bible (in my head).

The real bible??
As was already pointed out earlier in this thread by another poster, unless you read the Bible, there is no other source to know about God/Christ.
So how can most believers, per your comment, look at the "unreal" Bible available to all, since they don't have your copy/version, and say they know Christ?

Communication is difficult. NewChapter understands. Maybe she will kindly explain it.
Other people have posted no, that's not what I said, but how you heard it (read it).
There is no other source for getting personal with God/Christ. I believe that too.

So you're basically following a religion of one - yours - where you get to make the rules and decide for you what's right and wrong and decide for you what's real and what's not. Seems kind of Atheist.

Personally I believe Christ can not be known as "friend" if a believer settles on what othe rpeople say about the Bible. Now we can investigate if for ourselves with the blessing of interlinear (BIBLOS is what I use). http://biblos.com/
So to know love first is needed, because it was written in the spirit of love. That is the real Bible. Understanding LOVE with love.

Yes! LOL Poopsicakes. I am afraid I have more in common with the atheists than with the believers. What can I say?
But I don't make the rules. I think you are being sarcastic.

I don't see it so much as kind of Athiest as more kind of Unitarian. Sort of a "free range chicken" religiously speaking, as opposed to a commercial hatchery raised chicken. Nothing wrong with that.
BTW, n.Drew - I thought you were going to stretch your body into a pretzle with Yogurt this afternoon?

6:00 pm. I get nervous whenever I have to be somewhere. That is why I don't see the doctor. I can't make the appointment. Is that mental?
If I do research time will slip away and I have to make supper.
