i just posted this question about the bible?

Question

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071101180854AASekVa&r=w

not once in that question did i express an opinion just quoted out of the bible and still was met with an arguement

why do christians seem to be so defensive ,even when a person isnt attacking?

the footnote in the bible says its a hippo i didnt

i took the entire question from what the bible says i didnt put any opinion in to it

its from the revised standard version from 1953 was when this copy was published

so your saying a guy that translated it could of got it wrong hmmmmmm

so what else could they have gotten wrong everytime they revised it

Answer 1

This is where you have to learn to draw the line and ignore some people. You will never be able to discuss something or even at times ask questions of others without people needing to attack others. Somehow it gives them a sense of power even though they still don't have it and some people like to stir up controversy and put others down. We have to decide whether we let people like that get to us or if we just ignore them and I have learned it's best to ignore them. They aren't worth it :)

Answer 2

No it is not any longer junk mail. Its no longer promotional cloth, it isn't made from URL's, it isn't direct mail, a series letter or a pyramid scheme and it is not any longer unsolicited because you've chosen to be a member of a faith & SPIRITUALITY Q & A! Copyright guidelines are mans regulation and did not exist at the same time as the Bible changed into written, so the actual undeniable actuality that the authors have handed from this existence is irrelevant. That and God had to get His message available. in case you do not pick us to repeat an analogous bible verse over and throughout back then quit asking an analogous questions over and throughout back.

Answer 3

yes you are right the foot note that some man put there says that it was a hippo, but God said its tail was like a cedar i guess that the footnote guy got it wrong the original Bible had no footnotes, so the footnotes weren't translated

Answer 4

Does this kind of stuff really matter? I mean we do live in this day and age, not the dinosaur day and age or the caveman day and age or whatever. We live now, we have now problems that we should be working on now, not worrying about whether or not there were dinosaurs. I know someone will have a problem with me saying this but oh well. Nothing that anyone says can go without some opposition from someone. Have at it.

Answer 5

You asked, "how can you use that as an explaination for dinosaurs in the bible?" Charles, in particular, answered your question. How can you offer that as an explanation for dinosaurs? Because hippos have small tails. That is an answer, and it is supported by his quote in which the monster has a big tail.

It sounds like you are being deffensive. You asked a question, people answered the question. You offered an implied opinion in your question by asking "how can you..."

Answer 6

I don't know man..that was a genuine question. It just goes to show...faith must be a shaky thing. And certain religious factions are controlling,and anti American. Censorship guys...censorship. BAD Americans promote Censorship.

Answer 7

Who's getting defensive?

Get A Grip

Answer 8

Just wait, they will probably get mad and have this one deleted too. Apparently anybody that questions is "wrong" and not to be listened to. To make sure this happens they delete you. And yes, I'll admit. I'm a little defensive right now.

Answer 9

No matter what you ask here, you'd find SOMEONE who is overly defensive. You also got several good answers from people who appear to know their Bible and who very well might be Christian.

Answer 10

How was Charles arguing with you? Relax, don't be so sensitive.
