    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    That is all good but you need to abandon Calvinism. Not the worst, just a lie. We are not robots and God is not the Great Puppet Master. We choose Christ and make the choices in our life

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    I believe all three are Gods just as I said in post 117. All Gods but there is a hierarchy. God described himself as Father and as Christ said, “The Father is greater than I.” Yahweh, God Almighty and Creator of Heaven and Earth. And Christ sits on a throne to the right of God Almighty. God...

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    Again I am not trying to explain the inaccuracies. I am saying that the inaccuracies do not matter, it is the message that matters. If anything the inaccuracies demonstrate to those listening to Him in that time period that it was the storyline and the moral to the story that was the point. No...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    I am going to try to respond to this without being rude, but oh My! You are wrong and insulting and obviously uncomprehending. You obviously know little about Christianity or the history thereof. First off you are wrong about the Catholic Church “being behind most of the world’s scientific...

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    That does not sound feasible. People would come up with their own Bible by crossing scriptures out.

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    There is no such thing as personal truth. You can have personal beliefs and options. But facts are universal. And the scriptures describe the earth as flat.

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    Well you are wrong. We still have to contend with truth and the real....The world is not flat....you cannot put two of every animal on earth on one boat. This is one of reasons that we are losing the youth in Christianity.....People like you....still a good person....people like you make...

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    First off I am not offering an explanation for the inaccuracies in Lazarus and the Rich man. I am saying in parables or stories it is the message that is important not the factual background. So once we stop ignoring the 14 contradictions…… Do we ignore the story completely? Do we continue to...

    Well of course I do not agree with you, but just to play along, what is your solution?

    14 IRRESOLVABLE CONTRADICTIONS WHICH RESULT FROM A LITERAL RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

    In college they gave us 300 examples of apparent biblical contradictions and errors and told us to solve them…harmonize them. He told us that when we were done we would be surprised how much we had learnt. We each got around 20 to solve in the Old and New Testament. At first we thought to take...

    Understanding what Sheol, Hell, Hades mean.

    You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell? Lucky for you hell is only temporary! Then you will be cast into the Lake of Fire and burnt up which is the second death, the death of oblivion. Matthew 66:666 LOL...Boy don’t they wish the scriptures said something like...

    Why do the wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish virgins?

    Well Jewish side of this is complicated. You have three different periods. The Old Testament….In between the Testaments…..and the things that Christ said about divorce. I will deal with the Christian side first, we can get to the Jewish side later. The Law-custom of giving a wife a letter of...

    Why do the wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish virgins?

    Until the 16th century the union formed the marriage, ceremony or not. Exactly that! Even if you had a ceremony the union formed a marriage. It is an absolute fact that the scriptures do not require a ceremony to be married.....No description of a ceremony. It is exactly as God said .....For...

    Why do the wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish virgins?

    I am pretty sure I agree with here. Marriages in the Old Testament. Marriage ceremonies have been occurring, even before recorded history, but they were Pagan. For the Hebrew-Jews it was a process….between fathers….women were treated like property….contracts and money exchanged….the father...

    Why do the wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish virgins?

    End game and proof? Accuracy and truth matters. If it does not….more make believe religious beliefs will develop. There are a large number of make believe religious beliefs already. How many people do not know that for most of history marriages were a family affair….no clergy….and the union...
