One thing I find interesting and refreshing about this thread is the above attitude towards a "contradiction". Biblescribe didn't immediately blame the Bible! He blamed himself, then asked for solutions and even worked through it himself. He may have already came up with the answer before he...

Pretty good post! I love that parable. It gives us the key on how to truly repent, as well as telling us the main point, which is about being humble. Did you catch the point about the pharasee being pretty accusative in his prayers? "I'm thankful I'm not like that guy!" Someone once told me...

I don't fear what will happen after I die to me. That's what I'm looking forward to! I'm also not afraid that my job will be unfinished before I die. When God says I'm done, I suppose I won't argue that point with him. I do fear leaving my loved ones and how empty they might feel. Let's...

LOL!!!! The Holy Spirit tells me they are saying the same thing!!!!!

What I find truly remarkable is that this thread started with a question: "Why is God mean?" According to some, it appears the answer is "God isn't mean, the Bible is mean!" and thus, the Bible gets the blame. Never mind God who believes in rebukes, punishment and correction, and never mind...

Groundzero, As far as I can tell, you can go back to post #19 in this topic, in which on August 11th, 2:40 AM, Robbie stated: "I personally can relate to you because I've had many of those some accusations against God pop into my own head... and I to see that the bible contradicts itself...

This whole the spirit guides me and the Bible isn't the only source doctrine sounds like a recipe for disaster by allowing the heart's desires to have a say. I will not have a part in it.

By all means faith comes by hearing. By hearing who though? Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing, but Romans 10:14 says hearing a preacher. It does not say hearing the word of God through parents or friends, though they can be of good help. How can you hear without a preacher...

Fire-7, I cannot blame a man for not having read the whole Bible. I wouldn't even object to him (or her) making comments about the Bible as they are reading it. However, it is only reasonable to hold the comments and conclusions such a person makes as incomplete until they do such. You...

Really Prentis? How many Bibles to you think we have? We have only ONE! Sure, we have many different versions... We have the KJV, the NKJV, the ASV, the NIV.... But we still have only one Bible. Is the world going astray because of all those versions? All of them say the world was going...

Aspen's relies: FHII: 1. I have a Bible which shows the words spoken by Jesus in red ink. I'm sure you have one of those types of Bibles or at least have seen one. My question is, do you believe that those red letters were back in 30 AD or around that time really words that Jesus spoke...

I will also agree!

I really don't understand how you believe it was an honor.... I understand your point about the dipping of the bread. But at that point Jesus already announced that it was meant to be a sign of him that would betray him and was of the devil. Even before that the Devil entered into Judas...

I've gone back to see if I can find the undelying problem of this debate, and it's still cloudy to me.... I'm not even sure I fully understand all the points of views. However, let me ask a few questions to those who believe we (or I'll regulate that group to me only) who believe the Bible is...

I never really thought it'd turn out to be a big deal... Someone says we don't have to tithe or give 10%, ok. That's an idea I can tolorate and even agree with. However, being forbidden to give that amount? That's a whole other deal.... I figured it was just a language barrier issue and...

I must give Duckybill and Groundzero a big AMEN on their stance of the Bible! Groundzero put forth a good point in that its strange to quote the Bible in order to say you don't believe it is the Word of God. Another point along the same lines is that when Jesus was tempted by Satan, he didn't...

Congratulations are in oreder... Goinheix said something that I partly agree with! The "partly" comes from the point that I don't think God's mean at all. He's merciful, loving, corrective, giving and overall great to be around. Sure, he's not a nice guy to evil, but ok.... Neither am I. I...

Kind of like how Acts 15 says we are forbidden to give tithes if that is what is in our hearts to give, huh? In other words, it means nothing of the sort!

Gypsy, Like I said, I tried for a long time to point out to him that Acts 15 doesn't forbid Tithes.... I will be intested is seeing how long you will last before you say "whatever". :)
