No. That's not it. Consider IDOLATRY of the Bible to be a form of legalism. the Bible is a highly figurative book. Anyone who claims it is all literally true is sophomoric and an IDOLATOR. For instance, do you truly believe there was literally a woman with God before he initiated Creation...

No. I hate the KJV. It is not readable to me. Idolators do not say they are worshipping their manmade IDOLS - the DO it nonetheless. Until you grasp this about IDOLATRY you will never see how pervasive it is. Again, sex, drugs, money, power, all these are modern day IDOLS. No one says they...

You got us all wrong. We are not doubting the reliability of the written word. Writing is a tool and like all tools, it can be misused and abused. the Bible should be used to enlighten, not to bludgeon.

I am not confusing IDOLATRY with pride or false loyalty. Consider an extrapolation from what you wrote. ^ This is IDOLATRY 101 plain and simple. (And I pray this does not offend you, for you are a sibling of mine in being children of God). Pervasive in Christendom is the assertion that people...

With all due respect, we fundamentally disagree. I already expressed how I suffered from Bible Idolatry, specifically idolatry of a translation, for decades. Again, we fundamentally disagree. The 1C is not "you shall have no other gods before the Bible." Showing you are guilty of Bible...

Hmmm. Rationalization is different from knowledge. What did Jesus say? Matthew 11:25 CEV 25 I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people. I watched a great vid today from the apologist John Lennox. He observed that science (scholars) break...

Sure. Being divine means Jesus is OF God - priest, servant, word, lamb, son, apostle, etc. ‘OF’ does not mean ‘is.’ Prepositions are not verbs.

Procreation is a form of creating. The offspring are created beings - always.

Why is such a long explanation needed for a simple word meaning? Because what the word means goes against dogma. The truth is simple.

For the trinitarians, they glibly shift from the fact to any explanation of the fact ought to be acceptable. God’s name is YHWH and Scripture honors this divine, eternal and holy name 7,000 times over. So should we all.

The opposite of the case. It is blasphemy to say the son of X is X. The Bible repeatedly says there is ONE God. You are arguing for 2 here - unless you are parsing being called a god from the one God.

So simple, even a trinitarian can understand it. :eek:

Begotten means created (through the act of procreation). Look it up.

Jesus was adopted by God for there was a time that Jesus existed but was not God's son. 33 and God has now fulfilled it for us, their descendants, by raising Jesus. This is what the second psalm says about Jesus: ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.[a]’ 34 For God had promised...

Allah Ackbar?! Sad to see terrorists practicing Islam again. :cry:

You know that homosexuality is wrong according to the Bible, right?

We are all sorry to see you go @Wynona. May God bless you and keep you.

What % of the data set needs to be from lesbians in order for it to be representative and how did you come to this determination?

So says you. On what basis do you deem it "not" representative as this implies KNOWLEDGE of what is representative? What do you propose to be a better sampling source?

You are the one that pointed out over 6,000 homosexual obits were analyzed. Not opinion. Fact.
