Come on, guys. I'm asking some hard questions here that no one is addressing with any real intelligence. You're wanting proof, you got it!
I am REALLY and TRULY glad to hear that. I now have a new perspective...not a big change, but still, you have strayed a bit from the religious right. Way to go!! OK, I am afraid to ask, but ask I must! What about abortion? R (we are now on a first initial basis)
Abortion is murder. Also, Jesus would not approve of capital punishment that is why I believe it isn't right.
How can fictitious people write fictitious things when there logic and reasoning were 2000 years ahead of science? If you say the bible wasn't written, then you might as well say all great novels and writings have never been written. There's plenty of proof that the bible was written when it is believed to have been written. I have addressed this in previous posts.
QUESTION: Are we saying that the bible wasn't written 2000-4000 years ago or that the stories that were written are just make believe? This would help me understand where you guys are coming from.
Go back and read your bible properly thunderbolt and start to examine the obvious contradictions between the fairy tales Your keen on Genesis I'm sure, check out the order of the creation of plants, animals and man told in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, two mutually exclusive stories separated by less than one page of text.
Well, it's my understanding that you feel the bible and its characters are fictitious. I can only show proof. Proverbs 6:6-8, "Go to the ant. . . gathereth her food in the harvest." Life's Nature Library "The Insects" (p.163) commenting on Proverbs 6 reads, "One of the entomological puzzles of the last century concerned this observation by Solomon. There was no evidence that ants actually harvested grain. In 1871, however, a British naturalist showed that Solomon had been right after all. . ." How did Solomon know that in 1000 B.C.? How did Solomon CLEARLY, detail a scientific FACT, that was IMPOSSIBLE for him to know in 1000 B.C.?
