Answer 1

Well it sure wasn't me...I actually thought you were being nice.....that sure wasn't
very nice...I don't see anything wrong with it...I still want to know how YOU know sooo
much about Scripture Julia...do you have a secret your not telling us??!!

Answer 2

I cant really see it as being that offensive as if thats what it says in the bible then thats what it says. I can see the contradiction with the verses but dont see why this should upset anyone that much, but then I suppose you get people who are very much living by the bible. We must remember that the bible was actually written by men, with the messages being from God so there must of been some kind of slight alterations done, thats just human nature unfourtunatly. Thats not to say I dont believe in the bible, I do but I understand that humans have had an influence within some of the writings therefore not everything in it can be taken as the ultimate truth.

Answer 3

Great question, bad answers. It amazes me how people who know nothing about religion or spirituality are in the religion and spirituality section. I think they are just trying to bash Christians because they think they know everything.

Anyway, to answer your question, Jule,

Hebrews is talking about God and his divine will. He is perfect. Therefore he cannot sin. A lie is a sin. I don't think that's too hard to figure out.

Luke on the other hand, is talking about what a human can do. It is said when it is talking about the angel coming to Mary and telling her she will conceive even if she hadn't had sex with Joseph yet. This is physically impossible, BUT WITH CHRIST, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Phillipians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength

This does not say: God can do all things. It says: I(Paul when he was writing this to the church in Phillipi) can do everything through him(Christ) who gives me strength.

You misinterpreted the Bible. A lot of people who try to find contradictions in the text think they have "disproven Christianity" or found their own "Da Vinci Code Conspiracy" when all they have succeeded in is misinterpreting something and looking like a fool in front of other people. (not that I am accusing you of that, just saying I have come across those types of people)

Now, about you getting reported for abuse, I don't understand why either. It does not make much sense. You didn't use profanity or harsh language. Unless this is not your full original question. Anyway, I wouldn't have reported this as abuse. But, I do hope this answers your question.

A note to fellow Christians: If you are going to delete or report someone's question or anwers simply because you don't agree with them or don't have a comeback, then get off this site. I don't like being harsh on fellow Christians, but if you actually want to do something worthwhile, research and logically answer people's questions. What if an atheist reported all of your questions? You would be mad wouldn't you? Answer in a logical, realistic way. I have debated atheists and evolutionists for 6 years. I don't get mad at them when I don't have a comeback(partly because I always have a comeback). And they(usually) don't get mad at me when they have no comeback.

Answer 4

I don't know.
It was not me.
But you sound like you might be on drugs or anal.
Why be so picky?
Besides the Bible was interpreted from other languages and maybe the translator found the most fitting word that he could.
For instance the word hell is used to describe at least two very different places.
I recommend that pick the entire book apart and find out what's in there.
You do seem to have an eye for detail.
I'm not dissing you, I sometimes pick at stuff like that too.

Answer 5

I guess some people just couldn't deal with the contradiction, and the only thing they could think of to do was delete your question. Much easier than actually thinking, right? And you're right, it is pathetic for someone to report that. There's nothing offensive about it.

Answer 6

two seemingly similar verses with two different contexts.Hebrews6:18 was refering to GOD always telling the the truth.Luke 1:37 was telling us that w GOD can do anything (pertaining to making the impossible,possible :miracle making is HIS business.

Answer 7

Hi
Haven't you seen whats happening lately, it's probably nothing you've said, violation orders are going round like ant's on a jam sandwich, I've had one for sod all, I don't agree with some of the things you've said in the past but my mum brought me up not to be a tell-tale, wasn't me.

Answer 8

I don't know who reported it but it's a good point. I have a feeling that it was probably a religious fanatic who's upset about this observation because they see it as blasphemous in some way. It's funny how people become so angry when you question their beliefs or present a differnet point of view isn't it.

Answer 9

Didn't see the question before - but excellent point not so easily explained away.
Nothing remotely reportable, but, some sad lonely folks will communicate any way they can. There's an auto response when you report... so...just for a fleeting moment, they can pretend they have a friend.

Be gentle with them :=)

Answer 10

I don't think it's offensive in the slightest and whoever reported it really needs to get a life.

This is a great question. Probably some (funda)mentalist idiot who couldn't answer it satisfactorily thought they'd get it taken down so nobody else would be able to see the flaws in their precious book.

Answer 11

I Like to know also who reported you, I've been reported also for answers that people didn't like. i thought this was a open forum, but it seems if you offend anyone no matter what the question is you can get reported. Keep on .
