    Why I love the Bible

    You would do well to educate yourself on this subject. The church lied to us. Here is a trustworthy source. https://www.bereanpatriot.com/majority-text-vs-critical-text-vs-textus-receptus-textual-criticism-101/#Corruption-of-the-Alexandrian-text-type [

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Didn't feel remorse? He committed suicide over it. (and returned the silver) [

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Are you sure? Perhaps you have missed the point of this thread. Are we to love Judas while God hates him? [

    Why I love the Bible

    This reminded me of a thought I had as a young adult in the church. These people talk about the same things over and over. Never anything new. I came to sort of understand why that was. They were fundamentalists. The fundamentals were everything. Adding anything was wrong to them. But it seemed...

    Why I love the Bible

    No worries. I nominate this for the understatement of the week. - LOL As the saying goes, "Even bad press is press." [

    Why I love the Bible

    My way of agreeing with a statement to make a point without agreeing with it in total. I often have to (accept) speak the same language as these folks as a method of clear communication. Otherwise I would have to pick at every word they use. Sounds exhausting. [

    Why I love the Bible

    Right. A superiority complex caused by a dim view of humankind. (created in God's image) In the same way a divorcee hates the image of their mate in their progeny. [

    Why I love the Bible

    Consider the evidence. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/bibliolatry-worship-knowledge-of-the-book-more-than-the-author.54191/ [

    Why I love the Bible

    Do you understand where the Bible came from? I think that calling the whole thing "God's Word" is misdirected. [

    Why I love the Bible

    I agree. (within reason) But it was never intended to be an idol. "No other gods before me." [

    Why I love the Bible

    That is a complete mischaracterization of what I discuss about the final judgment. (you are bearing false witness again) [

    Why I love the Bible

    You speak of a book as if it is a person you worship. (an idol) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/bibliolatry-worship-knowledge-of-the-book-more-than-the-author.54191/ [

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Did Jesus love Judas? If Jesus loved Judas, shouldn't we? "To love a betrayer, a person who seeks your actual harm and who slanders you, is a part of our faith (Luke 6:22; 1 Peter 4:4). It literally is the story of Jesus Christ. Also a part of our faith is the separation between Holy and...

    Why I love the Bible

    If offense is the problem, I would say those who attack with their reply posts are more to blame than those who provide thought-provoking topics. I am being torn to shreds on a regular basis. But I CHOOSE not to be offended...

    Why I love the Bible

    The subject of offense is very interesting. Worth a topic. Offense is in the eyes and ears of the offended. Proverbs 19:11 NIV A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Matthew 15:12 NIV Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the...

    That's a great point. Thank you. (he's bearing false witness) [

    Why I love the Bible

    Not sure if that is a reference to my threads, but I will say this... If the status quo can't stand up to a few challenges then it is a house of cards that needs to fall. IMHO [

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Don't overlook the end of that verse, my dear. "But we have the mind of Christ." That's a big BUT. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NIV “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”[a] But we have the mind of Christ. [
