Does reading the Bible make people stupid? - It doesn't have to, but...

[Behold]

If you claim to be wise to me, why are you here except to troll my topics?

The only claim that Paul makes about you and your Gospel, is that you are cursed.....both.

Galatians 1

6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.


"""6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

You haven't provided anything of value to the topic.
That's called trolling, right?

In not here for you.
You are just a Troll, according to your Thread's Titles.
You've never posted a Thread in 2 yrs, whose TITLE Supports God, or Loves Jesus, or confirms the Bible or supports the Church.
Did you want to run and post one now ? Mr Pretender? Mr Fake? @St. SteVen
The Mods are oblivious, but im not.
You offer nothing of value to this forum according to your Threads and Posts.
You just do the devils work here, and you enjoy it., and one day thats going to come back to you.....And you'll remember what i told you.
You are Eccl 8:11 in progress, and dont realize it.....but i do.....and i tried to tell you over and over.
But you decided to have it your way, so you are going to get your harvest.

Based on observations on the forum, I have to wonder.
Mindless parroting of memorized apologetics reveal a lack of cognitive ability. IMHO

Does reading the Bible make people stupid?
It doesn't have to, but...
I have to ask.

To be clear, there is plenty of good to learn from the Bible.
But it can also instill a narrow view of everything.

--- PARODY ---

Christian: We have all the answers.
Victim: Good; I haven't done today's crossword puzzle yet.
Christian: I didn't mean those sort of answers.
Victim: That's okay, I can do my own puzzle games.
Christian: I mean the really important answers to life.
Victim: Like how to get my keys out of a locked car?
Christian: No, like where you will spend eternity.
Victim: It seems to take an eternity to get my keys out of a locked car.
Christian: Aren't you concerned about your eternal destiny?
Victim: Not really. I'm concerned about getting my keys out of a locked car.
Christian: That is a temporal concern; I'm talking about eternity.
Victim: I'm late for an appointment. That's my main concern at the moment.
Christian: Shouldn't you be more concerned about your eternal destiny?
Victim: Oh good, the police just arrived to rescue me.
Christian: To rescue you from being locked out of your car?
Victim: No, to rescue me from you.

LOL - you are parading your own version of 'The Emperor has no clothes"

stay well planted in the holy scriptures my friend . heed not a word one from the lips of a deconstructionist .
Who has done naught but heap delusion unto himself .

 

[amigo de christo]

LOL - you are parading your own version of 'The Emperor has no clothes"

And out of HIS mouth came a two edged sword.
For the word of GOD is sharp and powerful
MY WORDS shall be your judge .
its obvious that a deconstructionist has no hope at his or her end .
For they do as peter warned
TWIST the scrips unto their own destruction .

Does being approached by someone you want to avoid make you a Victim? Very telling.

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

Not at all, the Bible is a buffet of light.

Didn't you know Jesus said to eat and drink Him?

Well, you know how the Prophets wrote about eating and drinking the Word of God, right?

Bible reading is an acquired taste, and some people just aren't going to eat their Truth until God makes them.

But by then it will be terribly bitter.

Thanks.
That proves the point of this topic.

When I start reading the Bible it is as if a figurative comfy blanket curls me in its pages.
I feel warm and safe in the wisdom of God.

That comes when I know man played God. Thinking to write a book 40 or more men said they were inspired to compile as what is in its pages.

Many a Christian reads and believe. But they don't think.
On what they're actually being told.

It figuratively blinds people.

Peace.
