LIteralists. Do you have the courage to commit?

Question

I for one believe the bible is full of errors, and not the inspired word of any god. That's what my education and years of study have revealed to me.

But, for you literalists...

There is no figurative way of interpreting Leviticus 20:13 or Exodus 22:18. For example: You either think it's a good idea to kill homosexuals and witches or you don't. If you don't, then say so -- and then be honest enough to admit that the bible is neither a good moral guide nor the inspired word of God.

Or, you can admit that God made errors in writing the OT, errors which later had to be corrected. And, that doesn't bode well for your theory, either.

And then, we get into all the errors in the NT.

1COR 24:34-35. You either agree women should shut their yaps while in church, or they shouldn't.

All the OT and NT tenets forbidding divorce, yet xians have practically instiitutionalized it. You either agree with jesus-myth's rules, or you don't.

Do you have the courage to take a stand?

Answer 1

your reading the old testament...

these are not jesus-myth's rules....

Jesus came in the New Testament

Answer 2

Sure, I'll take a stand. I realize there is nothing I can say which will sway your thinking regarding the validity of the bible so I will leave you with this. What could possible make you think as a finite mortal that you could understand completely a book which claims to reveal the character of an infinite God?

Answer 3

I stand against you sir!

God is God, both in the Old
Testament and the New Testament.

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.

Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!
