It is my contention that even a hard-core atheist should know what's in the Bible

[ding]

What specifically is in the bible that is "wisdom"? I've read it, but a lot of the NT is paul/saul and timothy, with john of Patmos and his acid trip in Revelations. What do you want to point out?

BTW: there is not a lot about Jesus in the NT.

That man is different. That man knows the difference between right and wrong and when he violates it rather than abandoning the concept he rationalizes he didn’t violate it.

You know... wolves don’t rationalize eating sheep. But you would. In fact, everything you do you rationalize as being good.

The Bible is the primary source of Western society's wisdom, and a person who has never read the Bible is ignorant of a great many things.

I would say the same about the works of Shakespeare.

So long as you are advocating that they would do well and benefit from learning what is in the bible, sure. If you are advocating they be forced to read it....no.

Fairy Tales

A lot of people confuse the allegorical accounts in Genesis as fairy tales.

Same thing

Fairy tales can teach moral lessons too

Right but in this case it was ancient man’s recording of history so to speak.

Why did the Bible end 2000 years ago?

Hasn’t God done things remarkable since then?

 

[Taz]

Atheists know what's in the bible, that's why they're atheists. DUH!

Id settle with getting Christians to know the scriptures first

The ones on the golden plates the conman Smith made up in the 19th century? Heh heh

I was thinking the Bible. If they studied them daily and got the Spirit they would come to the Book of Mormon naturally.

You should study them too. You'd learn a lot

Yes, I would learn a lot about being an ignorant, semi literate, terrified, iron age peasant....not sure how useful that is...

Pretty sure you're an expert on that already

There isn't a lot about Jesus in the new Testament? You may want to reread it again.

God tried to wipe us out with a plague, but we beat him.

Apostasy. That's why it ended.

And He has Restored His Church. And He is just getting started.

God hasnt stopped speaking. You won't believe the old revelation. You rejected new revelation. Just because youve rejected it doesn't mean it isnt there

There isn't a lot about Jesus in the NT. Most of it is Paul and some Timothy, and that wack job in Revelation. More from Mary Magdalene might be nice. She actually knew him, if she was not actually married to him.

As for the Christian faith, I will stick to the words of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount, ONLY.

God has to have done something of note in the last 2000 years

Seems it should be recorded

They are waiting for justice to be exacted against those that crucified 1st century jesus and those that abandoned him.

the crucifiers have been in charge ever since including the roman slayings by lions of the few that understood the events and for its untimely culmination and later those who wrote the christian bible in the 4th century.

It could be that man grew too arrogant to hear anyone but himself.

Or it could be that we have always been pretty much on our own.

The only thing I am certain of is it wouldn’t have mattered to you either way.

The entire first half of the new testament is the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and His disciples after His resurrection teaching about Him.

The second half is the disciples teaching the converts about Christ and His teachings. Revelation is about the signs leading up to His return.

He is literally the central figure of the new Testament. But if you want more. The Book of Mormon will teach much more about Christ and His doctrine

Was it because you all weren't happy with just the bible, so you wrote yourselves another book (of Mormons)?
