the line between...


personal beliefs in "god" and religion. personal belief does no harm to others. Agglomerations of believers create religion, or in the case of communism - antireligion - DOES harm others. My beliefs can't harm anyone unless I apply them through action.
I believe there is no "god" to judge me or anyone else...

Well said, Brian. Amazing how someone who calls themsevles the leader of world religion practices things that the Bible directly speaks against doing.

I won't say screw the pope though. God loves him. I will say I hope he becomes a Christian someday.

I am sure three are other areas we three believe alike but I doubt there is much more when it comes to Christianity.

But yes, that site is funny. Really funny. Every time I see such stupidity, I can't help but laugh.

Well, said.

The sad thing is that anyone who claims the Bible contradicts itself speaks out of ignorance and not out of knowledge. They bookmark these type of web pages without reading them thoroughly or better yet, studying them personally. They take the word of these people and repeat their unfounded and incoirrect crap without any research. They take the translated versions and don't even bother to study them in the original languages.:roll:

Although I respect your knowledge of the bible; admittedly it is more knowledge than I have, it seems that your self-righteousness clouds your rational thinking.

Anytime that religion is discussed in any forum, it seems as though your point is right, and all others are wrong. Are you just naturally correct in your religious assumptions and the rest of us who browse these forums are "lost" or does you thinking not allow you to consider that maybe you're the one that may be lost.

Absolutely not. The Bible is right not because I believe it, but I believe because it is right and has never been proven otherwise. The people who claim there are contradictions in scripture pick and pluck verses out of context from an english translation. Take the english word love for example. We have just the one word, but New Testament Greek had three different words with three different meanings ... yet we use the one word love for all three meanings.

why is the bible in english...


... if it makes it so easy to find contradictions? I think it's admirable if you can read Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
I am a simple tech school grad and part time community college student, so all i can handle is the King James English version.
The bible can't be proven wrong, neither could my assertions of alien abduction.

Maybe the pope has been having a few too many tokes off the mega joint.
