How do you "believe", if you do not consciously CHOOSE to believe?

Poor woman.………… she literally lives to hunt that kind of stuff.

Hey, you two! WTH was that little exchange about, and why did you feel it was necessary?!?!

I think it is a very rare person, indeed, who can honestly say they have never seen anything in the Bible that did not, at first, seem to contradict something else they had read in that same little black book.

Oh, I think it is usually "real." But. I see it as an additional gift for which to be thankful..... not as proof of anything.

The response to seeing a 'contradiction' in the Bible should be: "God, please show me why this isn't contradictory."

As I have oft repeated here, I believe the Bible is very definitely written so that anyone can find the god they are looking for. If you truly want, in your heart, to find a god with certain attributes — be it fire & fury, or love and compassion — God is going to let you find what you with your...

If we are convinced we already know it all, we cannot learn more of Jesus each day.

You are in good shape. Too many people think being immovably dogmatic makes them righteous. The Pharisees felt the same.

Sounds like an interesting movie.

Careful there, you just may be wandering a bit from the word. I don't believe you will find it written that a person has to speak in tongues to know they are saved. LOL

It really is ineffective to try and create Strawmen from our own notions that were never expressed by another poster. Likewise, we should try not to add attributes to the Bible that God did not state.

Thank you very much. I'm sure I will enjoy these. Although I am attracted to Christian Reconstructionism, I just cannot accept the Calvinistic part of it. They say there are three things basic to Reconstructionism: 1)Acceptance that it is God's laws we are to follow, not a mixture of...

You are right, God's word needs nothing done to it. It is the mess we have turned "religion" into that sorely needs reconstructing.

You see, the author is trying to address the insane idea that many "Christians" hold to that "The Law" is only binding if it is repeated again in the New Testament.

******************************* Since you don't seem to be able to think much beyond your immediate reactions, here is the very valid reason this non-dispensationalist included that question in the quite serious list. Question 28: Isn't it Immoral for People to Have Sex with Animals? Neither...

I don't think Jesus said that. I believe you will find that in Mark 9, He told the disciples that anyone who is not against US (as a group), is for US. Whereas in Matthew 12, He said (speaking of Himself) He who is not with ME, is against ME. (About v.30, I think) (It is so easy to twist His...

I gave up when I read "Isn't it immoral for people to have sex with animals?" Why help him undermine the faith of "weak" Christians with this textbook example of the satanic error of "Higher Criticism"? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ONE WORD ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THOSE QUESTIONS AS THE AUTHOR...

So anything and everything we find mentioned in perhaps only one place in the Bible should be considered equally weighted for becoming doctrine? Jesus rode on a donkey...…. and he cooked some fish (In fact, He ate food and took drink in several places.) Should we build doctrine around those...

So true. I doubt anything has begged for reconstructing as badly as the mess we have made of modern-day "Religion". We have mixed so much of humanism into it that you can hardly find God's laws in it anymore.
