2 Cor 11:4 PROVES there were various versions of Jesus and gospels BEFORE the gospels
by yadda yadda 2 in

2. bible
the gospels were written after paul's epistles.

this is commonly acknowledged by both apologist and neutural bible scholars.

yet we see that paul says clearly in 2 corinthians 11:4 that persons were preaching different versions of jesus and different gospels before the orthodox canonized gospels were written:.

i had a flash back yesterday.

my non jw husband and i went to disneyland and bought my young daughter a set of 7 dwarf toys.

Our "Evolved" culture
by Saved_JW in
1. social
2. current
just a quick reminder of the "evolved" culture we live in:.

1- we live in a time where the humanity of a child is not determined by science [chromosomes, dna] but by the feelings of the mother.. 2- gender used to be determined by the objective anatomical, psychological, and genetical differences..now based purely on your emotional self.. 3- philosophy used to be a discipline which sought for ultimate truth, arguments were deliberated, calculated, and worldviews challenged.

humanity sought to know why we believe not just what we believe.

Question for Atheists.. Did you gain a Greater Sense of Morality and Happiness?
by objectivetruth in

2. beliefs
i've heard some view points that state, atheists are generally more moral & caring for fellow humans, than are theists.. i'd like to hear some personal stories of life changes and quality of life after you became atheist.

i have a simple theory that may explain this.. i'll explain my theory if you'd like, after a few responses, as i really am interested in the personal changes that you experienced.. thank you very much, and i look forward to your stories..

Terry is right. We let God slide....
by DATA-DOG in

2. bible
there were many great comments on the " theist/suffering" thread, but terry's really caught my eye.

its the simplest way to describe what believers do.

we simply give the "god" of the bible a free pass.

The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.

i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.

i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.

she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.
