    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...

    You sound like a silly dog chasing it tail.

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

    Christ did not misspoke… I am “stuck” on more than the two words. Ceremonies are another issue. Marriage ceremonies go back all the way past recorded history, but they were Pagan. The Hebrew-Jews did not have ceremonies in the Old Testament. The union formed the marriage for the Jews, the whole...

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

    He did not use the word wedding, translations put the word in His mouth. It is ---->Marriage banquet If He would of said, wedding banquet, no one would have understood what He was saying..... He could not have said, wedding banquet because at the time the word wedding did not exist. No languge...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    The reasoning of the founding fathers….They lived and fought against the tyrannical rule of Britain and they were educated men with world experience, they new that the world lived under tyrannical rule, and tyrannical rule was what would normally form..... or revert to. When they were forming...

    I have a bunch of custom pistols too. But no rocket launchers.

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    I am not trying to convince you. It is not like Charles Manson with dead bodies and a assassination attempt on Reagan.

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    LOL I hope being armed to the teeth does not make you a cult! I have four machine guns and two sniper rifles and a magazine feed auto-shotgun. Why do I think that the Branch Davidians were a cult?.....heavy on the think. While the Branch Davidian leader, David Koresh, did not explicitly claim...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    I agree that the government handled it wrong and should paid big! But they were a cult....not that freedom of religion does not cover being in a cult. That is why we still have the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Branch Davidian did not do anything that the Jehovah's Witnesses have always done.
