I have hardly ever taken the Bible readings literally. IMO the stories/lessons told are for our benefit in learning. The OT is full of symbolism and certany imo not to be taken literally. The NT has more to teach us directly..at...

god_is_good There are different ways of bible interpretation, which includes literal, symbolical, historical, etc. Yes, the Bible can speak to us, if we keep a humble heart to the things that it says. The problem with us is that we often believe in something before we...

Say you suddenly have unlimited knowledge and power. How would you choose to rule?? Choice 1. You make a bunch of rules or commandments. You get a few people to start a religion then spread those rules across the land. From...

bestboy19 “There are no rules for choice 2 because there is no need for them.” What are the lessons for if there are no rules nor need for them? "You will see it all and be anything you wish." In other words, you can get away with murder if that's your desire....

6precious102 I wouldn't choose either of your gods. Neither is realistic. Your first description is based on how you think religion (your word for Christianity) has created god, but your view is so contrary to the facts that it cannot be taken seriously. You expose...

glowin100 I have to say that when you pray and ask God for forgiveness for your sins he is just and faithful to forgive them and wipe your slate clean. As a nation, I think we are in great danger of God's judgement on man in general. Our country has allowed...

bestboy19 I don't know if angry is the right word. I think frustrated is more accurate, at least in my case. The problem with your truth is that it's something you've made up, and you refuse to give evidence. I will have to disagree with your statement that you never...

bestboy19 I'm sorry, but I will have do disagree with you again. When I have asked you to explain your believes, or what you call your truth, you are evasive, suggesting I discover it for myself. That is where the frustration comes in. As far as your love and kindness...

bestboy19 I was mistaken. You are intentionally dishonest. Nothing you have said in this latest statement is true. Saying, "I place truth out there," and then not telling us what that truth is, but instead saying, "You must discover for yourself," isn't placing truth...

bestboy19 Why do you keep using the word, angry? I never said I was angry. I said I was frustrated. You don't feel much love from me? What a coincidence, I don't feel any love from you. When you read the word, "Love," in the Bible, what do you think it means? What do...

bestboy19 How does anyone work at discovering what you say, "Is," when it's all a part of your imagination? That's why you refuse to even tell us where to begin this great discovery. I guess it all boils down to you knowing how impossible it would be to convince others...

bestboy19 Belief is the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true. Rely is confidence based on experience. Are you saying you don't rely on truth? If God is not based on the premise of truth, are you saying He's a lie? In...
