THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE -- An Introduction

[99minerkc]

@Harblax god is mythology

[Trillidotia]

The content of the bible is damning enough - Although 1) There is no proof of any god, or 2) that any god had anything to do with the unknown men who wrote it. However, let's say for the sake of argument that you're right - then your god is one sick, vicious prick not worthy of acknowledgment, let alone worship.

[Trillidotia]

"This is what the Lord says: Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass .... And Saul ... utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword." (1 Samuel 15:3,7-8)

'... because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)

[Trillidotia]

"Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourself every girl who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31:17-18)

"The Lord commands: "... slay old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women" (Ezechial 9:4-6)

"When the Lord delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the males .... As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves." (Deuteronomy 20:13-14)

[SSGWhit]

Seriously....if you were raised without a belief in a religion with the same education and someone pushed the bible in your hands and said hey did you know that this magical being made us and everything else....you would laugh and consider him crazy....just like you probably do Scientology...if you know anything about it.

To me they are equally bad shit crazy..

[MuF123]

Are you quoting the book that said we have to kill people when they commit certain crimes?

Yeaaa I think I will pass this one.

[quest380]

@MuF123 I guess you are a mass murderer and find the death penalty disgusting:)

[MuF123]

@quest380 no, I just woudln't want to kill my friends when he/she would cheat on his/her partner :)

[quest380]

@MuF123 ...well,you wouldn't be killing them...if we lived in a society where that was still imposed: they'd be bringing it on themselves. Best to choose a partner you'd always be faithful with....Do you find a problem with being faithful???? Is it uncool to trust somebody you Love???

[Phantombatman]

Christianity:

The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

MAKES PERFECT SENSE…

[quest380]

@Phantombatman What makes perfect sense to you then---man evolving from a rock????

[Wisdomcalls1]

HalleluYAHWEH Our Father.

More videos my brother.

You do a great job making them.

I am Happy yo call you friend.

Brother Phil.

[99minerkc]

Hmm... None of the EVIL acts done by religious authorities at present and since the dawn of religion which FORCED people to convert to Christianity was mentioned(I wonder why) in this video

[polystrate4]

GW Bush resorted to trying to claim religion as an excuse for warring over oil. Do you also believe this story and not that he wanted world dominance."thou shalt not kill",anybody who goes against this commandment is not a disciple of Christ.

[99minerkc]

Religion since it's birth has wanted world CONTROL!!

[polystrate4]

I thought I could engage in intelligent debate. Obviously now I have had a response from someone whon knows the mind of the ancient I realise I am not up to your standards so I will humbly concede defeat.

[99minerkc]

Debate? Why would I want to debate you on religion(a non winnable topic)? You should know that it would be a waste of time, something I already have done too much of!!!

Good day to you!

[polystrate4]

totally agree why not spend your time writing letters for Casa Alianza and help stop coppers murdering street children,much more worthy than slagging people off on here

[DMA310]

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

[99minerkc]

So, you believe that say 6 Billion+ people will burn in Hell while MAYBE 500 million(likely less)will inherit eternal bliss? I personally don't believe it anymore! I believe that it's ALL a man made story with the goal of controlling the masses which it's done a great job of not to mention the WEALTH that's been gained by the church!

[DMA310]

Psalms 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

[99minerkc]

Just because primitive man wrote "Psalms 14:1" you take it to heart literally??!! Wow! I feel sorry for you!!

[quest380]

@99minerkc Darwin was just as primitive:you believe him???

[99minerkc]

@quest380 Believe him about what?

[quest380]

@99minerkc Darwin offered an an alternative to intelligent design---he called it evolution--the theory that if given enough time anything could happen:)

[99minerkc]

@quest380 Yes, I'm aware of the theory of evolution.

[EmmaDelamare]

HA HA HA!

[LAF0310]

Proverbs 1:24 - Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Proverbs 1:25 - But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Proverbs 1:26 - I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

[LAF0310]

Proverbs 1:27 - When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Proverbs 1:28 - Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Proverbs 1:29 - For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

[PivotalThinking]

To Harblax

Curious. Why the short superficial insight and nondescript commentary. Have you nothing more genuine and analytical to say?

Or are you just good at regurgitating nonsense with no measure to your statement.

Seriously, PT

[quest380]

Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

If we honor God as our Father in heaven...he offers eternal life thus our days are prolonged in full measure!

[99minerkc]

"If we honor God as our Father in heaven...he offers eternal life thus our days are prolonged in full measure!" God NEVER said those words, but rather MAN did,primitive man!! YOU HAVE FAITH THAT YOU WILL HAVE LIFE AFTER DEATH!! I don't believe in hopes and wishful thinking as yourself! I need empirical evidence to believe in such a MASSIVE claim!

[quest380]

Mickey Mouse is "imaginary" and none rally against him and ban cartoons or images of him!

The prob MOST have with God is THAT he's our Divine Father and we're defiant of Him...atheism is the faith of the fatherless,as they have willed it to be!

[PivotalThinking]

To quest380

"...atheism is the faith of the fatherless,as they have willed it to be!"

Agreed.

Respectfully, PT

[quest380]

Spiritually yes, but was quoting a book title that linked well-known personages with an atheistic leaning to being fatherless or having difficulties with their father! :)

[amor0365]

Yes, I believed in the authority of the Bible for the reason that, all facts have their final explanation in God, whose thoughts and ways are higher than humans. The Bible contains the divine answer to the problems we humans face throughout our lives and God Himself maintains the integrity and accuracy of His Words.

[Musicrazy111]

There is truth and lies within what you just said. There happens to be a lot of truth that god once existed but there is thruth that he is to 'super' as you like to say but I am a believer becuase there is ENOUGH evidance of God.

[LAF0310]

Hey .... thank you for commenting my friend. But I did not say anything ... I just quoted what the Bible said in Proverbs 1:24 - 29. God bless ...

[Musicrazy111]

I'm sorry, what? Whoops! I must have replied to the wrong person. Sorry.

RELIABLE INDEED!!!  Great post.
