Don't take things out of context ... When I get off work and have time to delve more deeply into this reply I will .... There is a meaning for everything in the bible. Don't read one thing twist it around and make it mean something else .... I understand times were different back them then they are now and we have more laws and regulations, more rights and it makes back then look horrible but that's the way it was then .... Obviously Jesus came and ended that.

Im fine with a person who believes the teachings of Jesus in the bible, and sees the obvious issues as metaphors or parables with a lesson to be learned in them. However, if you're going to take genesis as a literal interpretation, then say a book like Leviticus is obviously out of date and written in a different time, and put it into that context, I have serious trouble believing you can differentiate those two and be taken seriously.
-
But see genesis wasn't out of date because people weren't around at the time other than Adam and Eve, they aren't cast out because of disobedience and now sinners. Once that happened man took over and chose to live their own way .... In term, -blam!- pillage, kill, slavery, bigotry etc ... So it does make sense
-
So because no one was there to see it genesis must be true? Really?
-
Not what I said ..... Because nobody was there son had not entered the world yet and the things that happened were direct result of sin entering the world and man choosing to do wrong
-
That has nothing to do with how the universe and the world was created and how you choose to believe something that has no scientific backing, when we have scientific answers to most of what is addressed.
-
That's not what we were talking about .... We were talking about how barbaric it was back then, with the way people acted according to their times. Without law, before law was given then Jesus came.
-
There was law outside the bible. The bible wasn't the only source of law, nor was it the first law.
-
Yeah which was given to the people by who .... God.
-
According to the bible it was given by god. And we know how factual that is. (Not very)
-
It's very factual .... It actually tells more about history accurately than our text books in school.
-
Text books in school are watered down pieces of garbage. Thats an awful low standard you're comparing to, and the bible still lacks more than half the history of a single school history book.
-
Historically speaking the bible is more accurate than most other books.
-
Of course, most books aren't history books. It kicks the crap out of Dr. Seuss in the history department.
-
Not what I meant .... You can't be that ignorant can you?

Editado por Britton: 4/24/2015 5:11:19 PMNope, but I am that much of a sarcastic asshole. Your statement was vague so I ran with it. The bible has some history in it, but not much and certainly not more than a standard history book.
-
The Bible has proven to be more historically and archaeologically accurate than any other ancient book. It has been subjected to the minutest scientific textual analysis possible to humanity and has been proven to be authentic in every way.
-
Not in every way, In some ways. And its one of the most historically accurate holy books, not book in general.

Editado por Tempest26: 4/24/2015 5:42:23 PMSee you just have an argument for everything .... These are facts you just can't handle them
-
Lol I can handle it all to well, and I take things for what they are. I refuse to jump to supernatural conclusions without supernatural evidence.
-
Doesn't seem like you can, you keep repeating yourself holding on to science that can't even prove something like the creation of our planet, or where the Dino's went, or how we were created .... None have 100% truth or definitive answers. Unlike the bible.
-
Editado por Britton: 4/24/2015 9:50:20 PMReally? We can't prove how the earth formed? And we have no clue what happened to the Dino's? Have you ever read a book besides the bible? Because apparently you haven't. Since you claim the bible is definitive proof, I'd like examples of this proof. The bible saying itself is true doesn't count, I want the verifications of the things in the bible. If its so definitive, it should be easy.
-
You can give 100% definitive proof that scientist say how the earth was formed .... Or do scientist guess how it was formed .... And so scientists know for 100% sure that it was an asteroid that wiped them out or do they hypothesize about what happened and concluded that it had to have happened like that. Because the flood wiping out everything on earth .... With proof that I've linked to you and others before is a better explanation. Also why sea creature fossils are found thousands of feet above sea level.

[b]I guess observing other suns and planets forming as well as understanding how physics, chemistry, and gravity works in space is a stretch of the imagination. Because an answer based on the laws of nature and observation is worse than saying "god did it with magic."[/b] And so scientists know for 100% sure that it was an asteroid that wiped them out or do they hypothesize about what happened and concluded that it had to have happened like that. [b]no, not 100% sure. But the evidence points to that. [/b] Because the flood wiping out everything on earth .... With proof that I've linked to you and others before is a better explanation. [b]You've yet to link proof. You've linked a website that uses the bible to justify the bible, which is not proof.[/b] Also why sea creature fossils are found thousands of feet above sea level. [b]if this a mystery to you then you lack a basic understanding of geology and plate tectonics. [/b][/quote] Seriously, please go to a library, and gain a basic understanding of science before you say its false. If you don't even understand what you're arguing against, your argument will be clearly flawed (as it is) and won't be taken seriously.

We can go around and around on subjects .... You claim science is 100% right and will give any and every answer you can find grasping for the truth like a child in the dark searching for a light switch .... Linking whatever you can to prove my views and beliefs are wrong and I must wake up right .... But my views are my views and my beliefs are mine .... I do not judge you, hate you or condemn you for you views but we are literally going in a circle.
