Do I detect the delusional ramblings of a follower of a known liar and criminal that told people he met an angel called Moroni and was chosen by god to recieve some golden plates - crazy!!

Chris:
"So the Bible is true Pistoff, then this gives me answers, and understanding of who made me."
I am certain you misread what I said; I said it is true as literature, as it reflects who wrote it and is of it's time.
It is not at all historically correct, if you think this it means you have not done your research.
Do you believe that God made you because the Bible said so?
Then do you also believe that slaves are OK, that women should be kept outside the camp for a week after their periods, etc??
Do yo believe that the solar system stopped for Joshua, and that the dead walked out of their tombs when Jesus died?
The bible is a religious take on the world, not a history book.

From cold steel:
"So how do Christians deal with this? First, since it’s inspired prophecy, it must have already happened in a way we don’t understand."
Reasoning so circular it makes you dizzy to read it; it's inspired because it's true, if we don't understand it, must be our fault.

Sorry pistoff, I meant to write IF the Bible is true? Responding to your inquiry why does it matter to me. I believe a supreme spirit made me because their is evidence of spirit beings, and Evolution is more of a fairytale then creation. Of course the word slave has a negetive image in peoples minds today, especially since the horrid slave trade of Africa. But one has to remember that "slave" is what translators use at times to translate the Hebrew and Greek word found in the scriptures.
The Hebrew and Greek word simply means a servant, or bond srevant. This same word is used for loyal worshipers of God whom God favored. We must get out of our heads the bad image of what the "english" word slave brings up when reading scriptures. A servant was to be treated well,and masters were instructed to be fair and good to their servants.
Like it or not "periods" are things that came about because of Adams sin. This was physically unclean. Even today, my wife doesn't want to go out when on her period because she might embarass herself. Men also had to be seperate hen unclean. In the law, if a man had a nocturnal emission (wet dream) he had to wash,change garments and be unclean till evening.
Cold steel- I dont believe all prophecy was already fulfilled. Also, if God had prophecies uttered before, and instructions on what to do, why can't he do this again for the generation of mankind when the final end comes?

Wha?
Are you aware that animals have cycles, like humans?
Seriously, you seem lost.

Evolution is more of a fairytale then creation. Chris

Gosh the ignorance is laughable

Okay,okay I apologize for that statement about periods are a result of Adam's sin. I rushed into writing that without seriously thinking about it. Please accept my retraction of that statement and that I don't subscribe to that understanding. Thank you sincerely.
Tiresias- thanks for your kind words and encouragement. We need more sincere people like yoy.

Stunningly ignorant thing to write.
Evolution is a fact, as certain as the fact that the earth is not flat. Without evolution nothing in biology makes any sense.
Please tell me which books on evolution you have studied. I am guessing your honest answer would be none. Am I right?

I felt it was necceary to write this in response to the Bible bashing, Bible burning respondents who attempt to hijack your post. - Tireias
"Bible burning". Are you serious?
Nobody here want's to silence or ban the bible. I want the contents of the bible to be exposed as widely as possible.
The most powerful argument against the bible is to read the book. Why do believers take refuge in faux persecution conspiracies when faced with rational objections?
