If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

[Romanov2488]

What makes a fundamentalist think that their interpretation of the Bible is the one and true interpretation? Are they not acting as if they are God themselves when they assume that their interpretation must be infallible? I’ve never once heard a fundamentalist say that they could be reading the Bible wrong, they’re the only ones who hold the correct interpretation and everyone else is taking it out of context-except for them.

And also, how does it make any sense for a believer to say they don’t know what the future holds, but then turn around and say that you will come before God, in the future of course, after you die? I thought they don’t know what the future holds.

Also, how can a believer know anything at all when they say, “Only God knows”? If only God knows, then we cannot know anything at all, not even that God knows. It’s self-defeating.

That is a problem to say the least. Contextual accuracy of the source texts is not always there. It has been jumbled to our detriment.

Because when you compare Scripture with Scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you do arrive at the correct interpretation. But since atheists do not even believe that there is a God, what should you expect from them other than NONSENSE?

How do we know you’re being guided by the Holy Spirit and not something else?

How do we know what’s coming from you isn’t nonsense?

Satan can appear as an Angel of light. Jesus said that if the light you have is actually darkness how deep that darkness will be. We see through a glass darkly is another verse. I think the original post topic is valid (There are far too many Christians who actually accept their beliefs as infallible)

The Holy Spirit told me that people like Enoch are hypocrites and heretics. It’s the correct interpretation because I was guided by the Holy Spirit like he said would happen.

Because by comparing Scripture with Scripture within the broader Bible teaching on Gospel truth, there is no inconsistency. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself, and neither does God cause spiritual confusion. Therefore when all the Scriptures harmonize, that is God's truth.

LUKE 24: ALL SCRIPTURES HARMONIZE AROUND CHRIST
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself...
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

What else can we expect from you other than FOOLISH NONSENSE? None of the real Romanovs would talk such rubbish.

No inconsistencies? The Romans killed Jesus, and Jesus is God. I thought God couldn’t die.

Why should we expect what YOU say to NOT be nonsense? For someone who says they believe in God, you sure act like you are God himself. Arrogant narcissist.

I've never met an atheist that could understand the Scripture, in fact, the Scripture says that unbelievers can't.

Christ is God, but stepped outside the glory of being God in His humanity, while still being God. God became a man, and in that fashion God was able to die.

And even then it was not possible for Him to die unless He willed it to be so. As the Scripture says, "I lay down My life for you."

Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Chronicles 22:2

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
Kings 8:26

Oh yeah no inconsistencies whatsoever.

LOL! He stepped outside the glory of God in His humanity. I don't expect you to understand that!

The Scripture says that no man has ever seen God, but yet Jacob wrestled with God.

The truth is, no man has ever seen God in all His Glory, mans flesh would evaporate in that presence.

The same thing with Christ and the incident with Jacob, God became man, outside His glory to do this.
