Are you a good person? Take the Bible challenge.

by jesusisgod in

most people consider themselves to be a good person.

i have asked several people just in passing and with family members, and they have confirmed this.

when asked, "do you consider yourself to be a good person?

Shawn10538

I guess this makes me a very, very bad person.

The Bible says taking blood in an emergecy is O.K 1Sam 14:24-46 and more!!

by Witness 007 in

saul commands his troops not to eat anything during a battle with the philistines.

jonathan his son, takes a little honey and breaks the oath.

meanwhile, the starving troops verse 32: "and the people began darting greedily at the spoil, and taking sheep, slaughtering them on the earth, and the people fell to eating along with the blood.

One translation of Acts 15:20 says to abstain from the spilling of blood (murder).

Bogus numbers in the Evolution book

by B_Deserter in

does anyone know how they come up with statements like how the chances of the genesis account being right on the progression of life (which it wasn't, actually) was 1 in 3,000,000+ or something?

it seems like the ol' blue book was written by someone who failed statistics in college.

So, according to the Bible. light came after the earth. So what, Jah just fired up the sun and stars after he already created the earth?

They probably just made it up. There was a post awhile back describing an encounter someone had with Harry Paloyan who supposedly wrote the Creation book. Apparently they took a lot of things totally out of context from the people they quoted.

How to stump someone that believes the noah's flood happened.

by 5go in

one of the key peices of evidence that people sight to try to prove the flood happen is the fact the most cultures have a flood myth or story as they put it.. i was just watching a program that also points out the most, if not all cultures believe in dragons.

even cultures that evolve in isolation have beliefs in dragons and they are all simular though not the same.

just like the flood myth.. so if they believe the flood happened because so many cultures have flood stories.

Also, remember that most of those flood stories pre-dated the Semite people, so, the Bible's version is a very late version of the flood story, so it can not possibly be infallible if it deviates from the original version of the story, which I believe is Summerian if I'm not mistaken.
