Wrong. Christians most certainly are idolaters of the Bible and their doctrines. Repeatedly denying it does not make it not so.

No because the defining characteristic of a brother or friend is not to beget, to create life - but it is the defining chararacteristic of a father. So, the question is, what is the basis for your opposition to that word in this context? The father of genetics. The father of his country. Our...

Both are true. There is rampant IDOLATRY in Christianity today AND Christian’s don’t handle well when confronted with it, especially by atheists. I concede it could be satanism. However, I prefer to give the atheist the benefit of the doubt; that they are here because of their own doubt and...

I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make. A father is one who begets. Our man-hating society diminishes the fact that men create life and this is the primary reason God is referred to as our Father. Church of England to consider use of gender-neutral terms for God. Women carry the...

Maybe. Might. Double speculation? This translation makes clear what is being referred to is not a WHO but a WHAT. (CEV) You must stop doing anything immoral or evil. Instead be humble and accept the message planted in you to save you. And that WHAT refers to the oral tradition of the time...

Agreed. Sacred cows. Ex 32. Lately, I've become aware of a lot of IDOLATRY among Christians. Knowledge, in general, has been made into an IDOL. In particular, is knowledge of the Bible, and even a particular translation. In addition, people make IDOL's of their doctrines. On this forum, 2 such...

Being under a sovereign does not mean that sovereign will save you. Hence, the 2nd death after Judgement of those who chose the path. “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of...

Great! Then you don’t worship the Bible.

Irrelevant. James was not referring to the Bible, period. What was he referring to? You are a mighty Bible IDOLATOR, so I suspect your worship of parchment will continue.

This opening salvo buys into the language of the cultural Marxists. There is no such thing as sex that is assigned at birth. Sex is assigned - by God - at conception. At birth is the traditional time when the sex of the child is IDENTIFIED. Also, the Cultural Marxists seek to undermine...

Hmmm, not quite. He is a living and just God. In the end, some people are not choosing to be saved.

You know that James was not referring to the Bible, since it did not exist for over 3 centuries, right?

LOL It certainly does! Again, in a trial witness testimony is considered acceptable fact/based evidence. Other than drowning in all the evidence, there is no evidence, you say. Wow!

Projecting your own delusion. It is silly in a trial to deny billions of witnesses. Utter foolishness.

Agreedest thou 100%. :cool:

Woah! Ecclesiastes says there is a time for everything under heaven. While I relish showing atheists how foolish they are, the Christian forum is more like shop talk among fellow enthusiasts. Sure, we can debate among ourselves. But that is different than the point @ButterflyJones is making...

Yes. Christendom tends to minimize this. Perhaps it's an inverted perversion of holding that God is one and need not take advice? This deserves its own thread.

Yes, many speak of them as one thing, like space-time, people say Atonement-and-Resurrection. Claiming we are saved by the Atonement is the theory of the price for our salvation. The practice is the Resurrection. Imagine if the theory was that Jesus will be resurrected on Judgement Day? The...

The same as any other IDOL. Clearly, many Christians have created an IDOL out of Knowledge, in general, and Knowledge of the Bible, particular. Every single time someone mentions what the original Greek word is and what it means, I am reminded anew of Bible IDOLATRY.

You can twist your IDOLATRY of the Bible anyway you want.
