The Bible as Truth?

[queenofnines]

Here's a quick note for you- any atheist (or any non religious person ) who says they were once  a believer were never truly a believer to begin with. To say one subscribes to a realistic world and then jumps into the world of fantasy and dogma after doing their "research" is just flat out wrong.  That part is the most troubling to any rational mind. They were never a believer.

Aren't you 29 now?  Stop acting like you are 6!  Your plagiarized paragraph is untrue and you look very dim for writing it.  It's the equivalent of a schoolyard taunt, nothing more.

It's ironic to the core.

I think the bible is truth.  It is coming to pass each and everyday.

I believe that the Bible is absolutely 100% true.

Quit Cyberbullying.

Once you stop trolling this forum with your garbage, I will stop. But that isn't going to happen, right? Stupid internet trolls...why am I even typing this to one? I feel soiled.

Why do you think this?

[freepcmoney]

Yes, I believe the Bible is TRUTH. I would rather live and believe in the Bible, God and Jesus, and when I die-----FIND OUT THAT I AM WRONG-----Than NOT to believe it, and when I die----FIND OUT THAT I AM WRONG, and I AM STANDING BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST!!

[Falconer02]

Well Freepcmoney (wth due respect to your beliefs), considering the infinite possibilities of what happens when you die, do you not think it's a bit naive to put all your eggs in one basket and just accept one ancient after-life idea and disregard the other million possibilities (many with similar ancient texts as your belief system has) people have thought up throughout the world?

I agree, no one knows for sure and can't say they do. If I die and there's nothing, who cares, I sure won't, if I die and there's God then that is cool. I will find out if there is a God when I die, If there isn't a God, then I will find out nothing.

I do know that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. When we die, we have energy that leaves us and lives for eternity but it won't have a conscience and that is Scientific fact.

Practice what you preach, miss

As I come back here and read these responses, I wonder how many people have actually read the original post before posting their response.  This topic isn't asking if the Bible is true, but stating that it doesn't matter.  It makes me want to  when I read a response saying "the bible is true" when that isn't even what the core of the topic is.

Note: to get paid for your 30 posts, you need to put some thought into those posts.  There hasn't been any real thought put to the posts in this thread since it had its first run months ago.  I'm considering locking it.

Something I'm having a hard time understanding here...

Why is it that many who believe the Bible isn't 100% the truth call those who don't atheists?  I am not an atheist, and I don't believe that everything in the Bible is the cold hard truth.

The bible is supposed to be the word of God. Pure and unaltered.

From what I can understand, the Bible is open to interpretation.

 Yeah people interpret everything differently. I get things out of stories others don't.

I believe firmly that the Bible is a book of lessons that can be learned, but each individual person must read it themselves to determine what those lessons are.  Do I believe Moses parted the Red Sea?  Hell, no.  But I do believe it is important to step forward with conviction before you enter into dangerous territory.

  I believe Moses parted the red sea, with the power from God

And, most importantly, I believe it is not up to me to "fix" anyone or "save" anyone.  I believe g-d does not wish for us to be blindly following a faith because we were scared into it, but to research, read, and make a rational choice as to how to live our lives.   I believe wholeheartedly in the golden rule.  I wish more people who claim to be following in the footsteps of Jesus (in whom I personally do not believe as a personal savior, but to each their own) would actually live their lives by the example they claim him to have left.

I am not trying to fix or save anyone but I am sick of  getting treated like crap for my beliefs and that's the only reason debates have lasted a long time with me. I could care less what you believe but don't try and tell me what I believe is wrong or that I am ignorant and a child because I don't believe what you do. Some of the things people say to me makes me what to reach right through the computer scren and punhc them dead i the face. You don't speak to people like that.

Well we are human and Jesus was perfect and sometimes it is hard to be perfect when we are not. I like the WWJD and should think that before engaging in anything.
