Name That Bible!!

[St. SteVen]

I think an apt name for the Bible would be, Journey Back To Eden.

I think that's all encompassing of the over-arching theme of the Bible.

Right.
A restoration of our relationship with the creator.
Regaining paradise lost.

People might realize the word of God is no more or less than what each individual sees in it, there is no church other than The Church of What We Each Believe, and there is no Christianity apart from what's going inside your head and your personal communion with your personal notion of God.

Is that the church Jesus promised to build?
"The Church of What We Each Believe" ???

You're treading dangerously close to suggesting that we should be unified in doctrine, there, Bub.

I was thinking (that shows all that edumacation paid off, lol) and wondered if I were to rename the Bible, What would I name it?

I'm not meaning to take anything away from the word of God, it's just an excercise of sorts. I've read the entire book cover to cover several times and have a pretty good grasp of the message contained therein. Enough so that I could make a name for it which sounds applicable and respectful.

I thought of a great name for it, but before I tell you what it is, I wondered what others might name it?

Not me. - LOL
I've had a thing or three to say about that.
Pick a topic below. Need more? Just ask.

The "Yeah, but..." school of doctrine - Bible versus Bible​

Debunking the the Doctrine of Preservation​

The potential conceit of doctrinal individuality​

The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."​

Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity​

"My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?​

The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >​

What makes a doctrine false?

Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey​

Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?​

You didn't get the joke.

Or maybe you're just indulging in a little shameless self-promotion.

We'll just say it's your birthday - lol.

Yes, I think it is. The church Jesus is talking about is "who you are," not "what you believe." If you're following His path, I don't think He gives a steaming bowl of bat guano what we believe - because what we believe is almost surely at least 75% wrong anyway.

And now you have read what I sincerely hope is my last post ever on these forums. (Hold your applause, @Behold.)

(I reserve the right to add to my blog for my own amusement as the spirit - or even the Spirit - moves me. Or even as a couple of bottles of Guinness Stout move me.)

Funny, but so true!

What?
(makes me sad, buddy. But do what you have to do. You have my FULL support)

Call the bible-
His
story

 

[lforrest]

But bible literally meaning 'the books'... How original.

Reminds me of Christian music that repeats a verse from Psalms to a secular melody and calls it a day.

But bible literally meaning 'the books'... How original.

So perhaps 'God's Books'

Hey, I know.
Field Manual...

We are soldiers in the Kingdom of God in this war, right?

We are in the field.. We are not from here but from somewhere else.
