Zone1 Have we lost The Bible Story?

[Woodznutz]

As an outgrowth of faith; as a part of sanctification. God initiates this.

So, do righteous acts as a Christian, then apply filthy rags to them?

 

[Woodznutz]

Sorry but I have absolutely no idea what you're saying. I get the repentance thing but not the 'better circumstances'. Nor do I get where I will be and what I will be doing after I die but before the second resurrection during the reign of Christ on earth?

You'll be in your grave awaiting the resurrection, your 'spirit' will be in God's trust.

I've never had a problem explaining Genesis. It has nothing to do with evolution.

This is not the first era where a portion of mankind was deep into worldly pleasures and desires.

Yes, that would be true of any era. That causes me to think of Pacific islands before missionaries. Especially Easter Island.

Which Bible passages do you think strengthens belief, not in God, but in evolution?

I've only suggested that some of the bibles present doubts in 'Genesis' specifically. But there again, the Catholic church has granted the flock the permission to believe whatever they like.

What do you see as the greatest contradiction? Apparently there are ways to make Adam and Eve a true story.

I'm suggesting that highly intelligent people will find it quite impossible to believe any of the alternative choices that have been invented to replace the literal Adam and Eve. You could be thinking of a different twist to the story that I'm not aware of yet.

These are some of my opinions, presented in good faith, and not meant to debate you on your personal beliefs.

No it isnt.

Wrong of course.

Same text... endless disgareement...

Obviously you're all wrong.

 

[Woodznutz]

Your answers that are invented by one of the Christian churches just makes it even more confused and complicated. And the 50,000 years bit is contradicting modern science.

This is the reason why the Catholic church has attempted to present answers that agree with science. Specifically, pronounding that their god allows various different interpretations.

And church that doesn't allow free though on the issues such as the 'big fish' and Jonah, is on a road to big troubles.

The Catholics' way out isn't perfect by a long shot but it's better than believing in the 'big fish' story and ending up walking down that road kicking rocks!

My answers are mine alone. You will search in vain for these thoughts anywhere in any Christian literature. There are many of us who do our own study and reach our own conclusions. Some that would stand traditional beliefs on their head. That's why we are to study God's word as some things aren't so obvious.

God's spirit kingdom was perfect until the fall of Lucifer. God made the renewed earth 'very good' for its temporary purpose, but subject to destruction and decay, which is pretty obvious.

Wrong of course.

Obviously you're all wrong.

Im wrong when I read directly from the book?

They're wrong, when they read directly from the book?

You see the problem, from where I stand.

 

[Donald H]

Wrong of course.

Same text... endless disgareement...

Obviously you're all wrong.

The Catholic church has invented a way to make them right, by allowing all opinions to be allowable and valid.

That has to be the only winning proposition for a church's future.

No, I do not.
They make up shit. I dont.
If im wrong, the bible is wrong.

Lot to learn from that story. No story, no lessons.

I haven't heard anything new from you that hasn't already been invented by some church.

God's spirit kingdom was perfect until the fall of Lucifer. God made the renewed earth 'very good' for its temporary purpose, but subject to destruction and decay, which is pretty obvious.

That's borrowed from one of the churches. You've even borrowed 'Lucifer'.

What is 'traditional' beliefs?

No, you're right that the god's word isn't obvious. Anything is possible in the Catholic church.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No, I do not.
They make up shit. I dont.

They say the same about you.

Who to believe?

Did you make sure not to wear two different types of fabric at once today?

No?

A literalist might find that to be unsavory.

Then they are stupid. I am going by what the bible says, not making things up to justify my retarded beliefs.
You are boring me.

Maybe you've heard my ideas before, but I haven't.

 

[Donald H]

Lot to learn from that story.

I've read the latest theory and even that one is explained in one short paragraph.
But there's no comfort in it for the majority of Christians who are 'literal' believers.
200 years ago the 'literal' story was accepted as very close to 'unanimous' beliefs.

You can't invent your own set of beliefs fast enough. The Catholic church beat you to it.

 

[Woodznutz]

What is 'traditional' beliefs?

"Snake in the garden". There was no snake.

 

[alang1216]

I generally try to avoid speaking for God.

If that is true you are the only here who does. Besides twisting language, why are you here?

 

[Donald H]

"Snake in the garden". There was no snake.

'Garden?' There was no garden. Meriweather and Ding have already been there!
No snake!

That and the other laws of separation ended with the new covenant.
