  Misquoting Jesus

  by SickofLies in

  2. bible

  book review: the popular perception of the bible as a divinely perfect book receives scant support from ehrman, who sees in holy writ ample evidence of human fallibility and ecclesiastical politics.

  though himself schooled in evangelical literalism, ehrman has come to regard his earlier faith in the inerrant inspiration of the bible as misguided, given that the original texts have disappeared and that the extant texts available do not agree with one another.

  most of the textual discrepancies, ehrman acknowledges, matter little, but some do profoundly affect religious doctrine.

  Funny....the very ones discrediting it now, are the ones who have been teaching it and using it as a base to lead others and get their money for thousands of years.

  How odd.

  Philosophy has no written boundries near as I can tell.

  It seems you push the envolope until you are punished. THEN you know you went too far. Is that the only way to establish "law" governing it?

  Without law there are no limits to speak of. IMO

  No warnings.

  No limits.

  No rules.

  Uncertain fate.

  The "black hole" of studies.

  Bring it.

  Is the word out that you are an "Apostate"?

  living in a "spiritual paradise" is not without its dangers.

  at every turn lurks those who harbor private opinions born from independant thinking.

  all are suspect to elders on a witch hunt.

  How does one become apostate #1?

  What are the requirements?

  I have never been #1 at anything in my life...

  Perhaps I could achieve this?

  Could we want to be like our mothers...without actually wanting to be back inside our mothers?

  How does that work?

  T.S.

  I don't understand what you were trying to say. (And I am not drinking crown royal tonite either.)

  I missed two studies with the elders and they are calling me wanting me to come back in ASAP.

  What is up with that? I believe the one I have been sharing my questions with is one of the heads too.

  Perhaps there is hope for them after all.

  I asked him these questions above last night. I am sure I will have plenty more by sunday.

  Not too bad for the #1 "apostate" huh?

  Perhaps we gain a powerful ally, and access to the elders handbook? That could really help us help alot of people start thinking and searching.

  But history has shown me (watergate) (domestic spying) philosophy can be a dangerous, punishable thing when the wrong person seeks the truth about the wrong person(s).

  Any thoughts?

  Cosmic.

  I hear many people say... I would do it...but nobody else would.

  The one who says I would do it, should show the ones who won't, HOW to do it.

  That is what a leader does. IMO

  Do you want your kids to live at home forever? would that make you proud of them? Or do you want to see them grow and pass along your lessons and love to your grandchildren? see them develop as individuals?

  Is it ok to WANT to be like God....yet death/nonexistance to BE God?

  Is the womb the tomb?

  I hope it takes forever to get there. Truly I do.

  How could we ever be a threat when He knows all?

  Does anyone know His real plans for us?

  Why do people at the top have to be hypocrites to force others from being..

  death penalty.

  The ones implementing the punishment must break the law to inforce it. Therefore they cannot be bound by the law. They can make it as they go and add to it to easily fix a problem.

  Again they are hypocrites for breaking the law to inforce it. And everyone wants the power to be hypocrites as well..it is seen as a different word "power/hypocrisy" Now everyone want to be hypocrites like the current authorities. Do you see what I mean?

  ambition/trying to attain being a hypocrite?

  Big problem with our Law besides the fact they make them to restrict a few bad people, yet everyone gets restricted too. For our "protection" from a few bad apples.

  Next point. It takes thousands of dollars to pay for many opinions to make a judgement of that action as right or wrong. Not to mention the time. What if everyone was more capable of making clear concise fair judgments of wrong and right? Would that be a positive or negative?
