What I do care about is those trying to force their beliefs on others because they hold them. I also do not care what they believe, unless they try to convince others of their infallibility.
Heh. This is about Kamala Harris as the one in purple, "And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth." She could be
the ho if something happens to Uncle Joe.
Agreed, but anything mentioned in the bible is ot about her. First, the bible is just a telling of myths and stories.
Second, even if it were true, she is not that important.
I don't even know you. Of course, the Bible is true. We have the historical evidence while you just have scurrilous opinion.
People like you die and later find out they didn't die and it becomes a matter of regret. Something you won't ever forget again, but it will be too late.
Your "true" bible can't even agree on what it says. You have no idea what the original writings said as they have been translated and change to fit the times and politics for 2000 years.
When you read this book, you do realize that it is not in the original language, right?
You appear to be only fooling yourself with your declarations.
BTW, how do you know what happens when death occurs? Have you died? Has anyone dead come and told you what happens? Or are you just a good little sheep repeatedly bleating what you have been told?
I know more than you about the Bible and how to use it. For example, you cannot provide a contradiction that you claim and the rest is just your wrong opinion.
Anyway, the rest of your argument is specious, so your post may as well be dismissed.
I doubt that you know more about the bible since I attended seminary for two years. I quit because I could not stand the lies anymore. This being the case, the rest of your post is mere BS, which is what you provide with every post you make.
What denomination was the seminary?
What are your favorite Bible contradictions? See how many of yours are in this list. Topics: sin, women at the tomb, belief, seeing God, and God's rules.

Everyone is born with Adam's sin. The writer is wrong right off the bat.
That was NOT the case until 300 AD.
That's when the Bible was written and later published, not when it happened.
The OT stories were borrowed from older civilizations around the Hebrews. They were northcoast Cannnites from Urfa and Ras Shamra.
The Canaanites were wicked and idolatrous people (descended from Noah's line). You believe them?
The story of Adam and Eve is about the transition from hunter gatherers to agriculture.. God rejected Cain's offering of first fruits. The sin of Adam and Eve was their failure to trust in God's providence.
Its a morality tale or allegory. You have to be smart enough to get the message in the story.
Jesus was a pious Jew.. He didn't believe in original sin..
Do you believe God punishes children for the sins of the father? There are 5 contradictory passages in the Bible... Sometimes it says yes, unto the 7th generation and sometimes it says NO.
Of course it also says no Mohabite descenants allowed. So much for the gggrandmother of Jesus.
I understand what you are stating in your first two sentences, but nothing to back it up. While I have the Bible and God's word.
>>Jesus was a pious Jew.. He didn't believe in original sin..<<
Sounds like your opinion to me. Does it say that in the OT?
Do you believe God punishes children for the sins of the father? There are 5 contradictory passages in the Bible... Sometimes it says yes, unto the 7th generation and sometimes it says NO.
I don't think God punishes children for the sins of their parents, but it could affect them. Watching your parents lie, cheat, steal, or worse can affect them to use their ways. What God said was he would judge everyone by their own words and deeds. IOW, each person is responsible for their own sins. I do agree that parents can duly influence their children to good or bad behaviors.
Otherwise, there are no contradictory passages as you claim.
Of course it also says no Mohabite descenants allowed. So much for the gggrandmother of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 23:3 3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation.
Israelites couldn't marry Caananites per Mosaic law, but a Jew could marry a Moab because Moab wasn't part of Caanan (marriage of Boaz (Jew) and Ruth (Moab).
