Do you actually think I read your bible quotations?

Question

Some of you post bible quotations, which you either memorized like a parrot or copied from some website. Do you think I, or anyone else as a matter of fact, read them? I ask a question regarding the rationality of there being a God and you come a preach Jesus. I dont understand. I wanted a rational argument, not an excerpt from a controversial book?

that says "and" instead of "a" before preach

Answer 1

Its your choice. You read it or not or you believe on the bible or,not, no problem to us.

What is the use then for asking questions of your doubt of something or someone when you do not even want to read and uderstand it.

All I can say, believe what you want to believe. I will lost nothing but you will lost something in your life.

Answer 2

To give quotations from the Bible is like sighting the authority and for reference. It's to let you know that it isn't just some made up or out of nowhere answer. I'm sure you have read books and at the bottom of the page sight where some of the information came from. Maybe the answer is given with Bible references because the Bible can state the answer better than we can And asking you to read a given chapter and verse/s takes up less space than writing the whole thing out in the answer. Bible chapters and verses are intended to be for you, your own good. It's a way of answering the question you raised. What's wrong with that? Do you say these things because you don't have a Bible? Are you too (shall I say, lazy) to take the time to read it? Where's the problem? You asked the question-right? If you don't read the chapter and verse, you do yourself dishonor. It's meant for your good. If you don't want such quotations to be part of the answer, say so in your question.

Answer 3

not everyone that quotes the bible does it to support the rationality of god, so you'd be far better off actually reading the answers and understanding the arguments for and against.

though anyone who tries to force the belief that there is/isn't a god or any particular religion on someone is stupid, particularly if they're trying to do it over an internet debate room like Y! Q&A

perhaps if people had more respect for each others beliefs and religions, the world would be free from conflict..

Answer 4

I examine the full bible... the full frickin ingredient. did you be attentive to that it is truthfully a sin to positioned on mixed-fiber fabric? *tests t-shirt tag* Oops... on an identical time as i would not precisely call the Bible a fairy tale and that i do have self assurance that Jesus existed, i've got self assurance like what Ghandi as quickly as reported approximately him being a very advantageous guy. i'm specific Jesus replaced right into a very advantageous guy. yet I positioned extra faith into the affection of the human beings around me than in 2000 year old phrases from a time as quickly as we theory a mustard seed replaced into the smallest seed in existence.

Answer 5

First define rational. Obviously since you are still alive it is reasonable to assume that you believe that life is worth living. Is that reason rational? Do you have any hope that your life will improve in the future? Is that rational?

Answer 6

rational argument:

Absurdity of Life Without God
-If there's no God, then there's no immorality (it's all relative)
-Life has no ultimate meaning
-People have no real value
-All accomplishments, dreams, hopes and fears are for nothing
-It makes no difference if you exist or not
-How do athiests respond? Do you pretend your life has meaning, pretend there is absolute morality? Pretend what you do will really make a difference?

I reccomend checking out william lane craig. I included a link to a really good article.

Answer 7

I don't read them either. Most aren't right anyways or they don't know what they are saying when they say it. I could quote anything from the bible and make it sound like what you are asking about when it is really about something else. I am not Christian but I do know a lot about the bible.

Answer 8

You should read MY bible quotations, however. I make them up myself. For example:

Doyoumammatie 17:04:06

He who wouldest not read Googled quotations shall no sooner enter the kingdom of God than a man whoeth spanketh the monkey in the marketplace.

Answer 9

I read them. Your not the only one that looks at the answer to your question. I provide them as a reference. It shows that I put thought into my response, and didnt make it up. It provides others that might wonder about your question a source to look into it further.

Answer 10

I can't stand some of those Bible beaters. They just don't understand that when you ask a question, you're asking for THEIR answer. Not some mechanicly regurgitated quote.
