This philly doesn't even know the trinity concept, and yet wants to give us her leaders word. The more they confuse the issue, the more they will mislead enough people to lead them to a new religion. It's more about the religion of self worship.

Answer 1

LMAO. You don't even know the difference between "filly" and "philly"


Thanks Colson for advertising my question, yet again. You end up getting me more stars than anything.

Answer 2

Hey everyone else has had a go, why not atheists as well, say I. Man this is a Q&A forum not a dating site on the Internet and You should cool off that poor girl, it was funny but now it's getting weird reading some of Your stuff. Make a sandwich, go outside and get some air, think about what Your wife would say!!

Answer 3

I was a Christian....I read the bible cover to cover...
I'm concerned that so many Christian make statements on here when they obviously have not read the entire bible. Some peoples eagerness to accept what a priest or other religious teacher has told them, rather than see for themselves the true meaning of the scriptures,disturbs me. Many people are blinded and this saddens me. Anything taken out of context is irritating. I also hate it when the scriptures state something in black and white and someone who has obviously never bothered to determine their meaning, tries to ram it down my throat that it means something utterly different.
There is hypocrisy on all sides.

Answer 4

Since the "scriptures" are only stories/myths, it doesn't concern me at all. Besides I don't believe anything in the bible. So Atheists, twist away.
Its soooo interesting that Atheists aren't the only ones who twist "scriptures" for their own false ideas. That's what most bible believers do all the time.

Answer 5

How about when the ideas are true? ... That the 'Holy' Bible advocates the KILLING of 2/3s of ALL HUMANITY!

BIBLICAL DEATH PENALTY: (part 33) KILL UNBELIEVERS - Acts 3:23 … "And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear the prophet, shall be destroyed."

BIBLICAL DEATH PENALTY: (part 34) KILL UNBELIEVERS - 2 Chronicles 15:12-13 (NIV) … They entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT and Exodus 22:20

Answer 6

Yes I am!
I mean how dare they try to re-interpret Ex. 12:29
After God has sufficiently hardened the Pharaoh's heart, he kills all the firstborn Egyptian children. When he was finished "there was not a house where there was not one dead." Finally, he runs out of little babies to kill, so he slaughters the firstborn cattle, too.

And no amount of atheist interpretation will change that!!

Answer 7

I am amazed how often anti-christians will say they in no way accept Scripture.
Then they use twisted scripture to make a point?
they need to read God's word for the first time.

Answer 8

No. There are many interpretations of scripture. In fact, everyone can pretty much interpret them for themselves. See how that logic works?

Answer 9

Is she from Philadelphia? I never knew!

But to answer your question, I find it far more concerning when Christians twist their scriptures to their own meanings. Or worse, don't even KNOW their own scriptures.

Answer 10

Your book says what it says. It concerns me greatly when an atheist knows the Bible better than the Christian who is trying to evangelize him.

Answer 11

I'm more concerned when a Christian reads a scripture, and displays a lack of reading comprehension.
