heathens why won't you believe the bible?

Question

I use the word heathen to refer to those unsaved.

I just want to know why you won't believe what my Saviour says.

don't say because it's not logical c.s. lewis was a christian and he was one of the world's greatest scholars.

I don't mean to offend by calling you heathens.

Answer 1

Generalising by calling all those who don't believe in the Christian God, is rather insulting. Heathenry is a Pagan tradition, and cannot be ascribed to Atheists, Wiccans, or Witches, unless they choose for it to be.

We do not feel unsaved, and are happy in our faiths, whatever they are. To assume that you have the answers to the universe by pointing us to the Bible is rather preachy. We are all free to choose our own paths.

Answer 2

We do!

We believe that the Bible is corrupt Scripture that was intended to enhance worship of the Sun God Zeus with a touch of the Islam of the Children of Israel and that the Bible was the invention of the Roman Emperor and his sunjects who thought the World was as flat as a cake that orbited the Sun.

We believe that King James took control of the corrupt Scripture and added his own corruption to the medieval ignorance of the Sun God and his Son and a Trinity that accused the mother and the son of incest and placed the two other Gods as father of the child while accusing the the mother of adultery that is excused in the intervention of Zeus as an Angel.

We believe that the 4 Gospels represent the 4 Seasons of Zeus, those of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and that the 12 disciples represent the 12 months of the year that Zeus gives to his worshippers.

Yes! We believe that you are the infidels to the Only True God who Christ worshipped (John 17:3) and that you are lost and wandering and in a daze of a maze.

Answer 3

I don't need to be saved from anything. All the things that I experience in this life are for my spiritual growth. there is no punishment or reward after this life. There is no heaven or hell. Just souls growing and learning together through interactions and experience. The bible is a book written by so many different people. It is full of tall tales and legends. God didn't write the bible and neither did Jesus. First hand information might have had less contradictions.

Answer 4

Because you'r savior (i dont have anything against the idea of god) has had page apon page of words shoved in his mouth so to speak. Incase you haven't noticed, Bible after Bible were all written by...you guessed it, men. An assortment of of white men wrote the bible.

I mean come on, in the bible it says a woman is responsible for original sin, and it's apparently a sin to take a crap. I mean, what the hell?

But like i said i have no problem with the idea that there might be a god, hevan, hell, and all that jazz but i belive the bible to be a load of crap.

Answer 5

I have been in the bosom of the fundamentalist church and have heard everything they have to say. I do not believe because mainly, the 'saved' Christians deny that any other spiritual tradition is legitimate except their own. And they are WRONG about that. And 'heathen' is a RUDE word to use and you know that. Shame on you.

Answer 6

Because faith is just a fancy way of saying that you assume something to be real. Do you know God exist? Of course you don't because if you did then it wouldn't be called faith. Belief and knowing something to be true are two different things. I know the sky is blue why, because I have seen it with my own two eyes, I do not need to believe the sky is blue, I have seen it. If you had never seen the sky, and we were really good friends and you trusted me and I told you the sky was blue then you would believe me because you trusted me, but you still wouldn't know the sky is blue, you would just be assuming so because of the trust that you have placed in me. Just the same, you don't know the Bible is the true inspired word of God, you have never seen God and you didn't see him inspire the people who wrote it. You have put your trust in the people that told you it was true, nothing more. Remember knowing a thing because you have seen it for your own eyes needs no belief or faith, if you know it you know it. You should always be weary of a thing that begs for your faith with no proof in return, it's suspicious.

Answer 7

I am a Heathen and am proud of it. And I don't have any opinion on the Bible at all. It just wasn't the way for me. Pure and simple.

And if you're looking to "save" people namecalling and insults is not the way to go.

Answer 8

I was once Christian, I quit because it doesn't make sense. If you actually took the time to study other religions then I would argue with you, but in your uneducated state this will have to do:

As to your argument about CS Lewis, you tell us to not say your religion isn't logical, yet in this sentence you use the ad verecundiam logical fallacy by claiming your religion is valid just because a famous person believed so.

Answer 9

I'm a born skeptic... I take nothing at face value unless I can confirm it through other sources... so far I haven't found a source yet that can validly confirm the existence of talking donkeys , snakes and bushes, people rising from the dead, mysterious invisible creatuers in the sky, and seas rising up and parting.

Sorry, just not gonna buy into it without some sort of redeeming evidence.

Answer 10

God has chosen that they don't believe, they are blind and their hearts are hardened, for now. They think they're smart and funny now, putting down believers, and mocking God with insults, but they will pay in the end.

Deuteronomy 32:26-38

35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.' 36 "For the Lord will judge His people And have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, And there is no one remaining, bond or free. 37 He will say: 'Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge? 38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise and help you, And be your refuge.
