Hello to you all.

I would like to introduce myself as a person who went to a baptist church as a child but as an adult does not hold a belief as such. I believe in fact and fact only.

Because as a human being i cannot definately say what is true and is not ( i think there is way more above our way of understanding interpret that if you will on a spiritual or scientific level), i would not say God doesn't exist because i cannot prove it but then again i cannot prove he does.

I try to live my life in a good and valued way. I have not commited any crimes, i have a family and contribute to society. I also enter this site not to be saved. I wish to understand your views as well as my own.

Hopefully this gives a little about me but i can give more but my question is what is biblically correct? ( apologies if incorrectly spelt). Is this something that can be used in a court of law? To me it seems odd that from interpretation from the bible from what i have seen on here a lot of people can hide behind this term to back up some statements which in some unfortunate cases have been horrible.

As stated it is not my intention to be unintentionally confrontational or abusive. Just a genuine question

Let me add: Have you read the Bible yet? All of it?

Well dear, it is precisely this kind of relativistic moralism that is destroying our civilization and entire planet. The idea that you cannot say what is true and what is not means there is no truth is not only arrogant and conceited, it is mired in the kind of hubris and egomasturbatory gluttony that will render our society good for naught but receptacles for the sinners of the godless "Mad Max" world to come. I implore you to pick up a Holy Bible, drop down to your knees, beg the LORD to have mercy on your hardened soul, and show you the Truth that is conveniently perfectly written down in American English for you to understand and believe in faith. When you've done that, come back and tell us how the LORD met you when you were at your lowest, must despicable self.

That's an excellent question, thank you for asking.

Biblically correct means just that - if it is true in the Bible it is true in reality. That means that we don't need argumentative institutions like - as you mentioned - courts of law, nor science, nor democracy, nor markets.

Want to settle a court case? Forget Courts, which are of man, and Read the Bible. (It tells us to let a wise man decide arbitrarily, like King Solomon)

Want to figure out how the universe works, and predict what consequence will result from different actions? Forget science and academia, which are of man, and Read the Bible.

Want to figure out what laws to pass, and who should be in charge? Forget democratic elections, which are of man, and Read the Bible. We find that God chooses leaders based on (in one example) skin color. (1 Samuel 16:10-13)

Want to figure out what to buy, or how to do business? Forget markets, which are of man, and Read the Bible. We find that command economies work best, as long as a Christian is in charge.

I just wrote a big article on this that explains it in more detail.

To me it seems odd that from interpretation from the bible from what i have seen on here a lot of people can hide behind this term to back up some statements which in some unfortunate cases have been horrible.

Yes, I've seem this myself, if you see scripture being misinterpreted please provide the full context, and don't be shy to say "scripture please" where necessary. With all the regular meekness, of course.

But I did answer your question, dear. Read the Holy Bible. Ask God to reveal the Truth to you. Ask Him in faith, read the Bible in faith. He will not abandon you if you sincerely seek Him.

There's a difference between going to church and getting dragged to church when you're too young to object (which is what you implied).

So the question (and the others you ignored) still stands.

...I have read the bible but could not quote much

Nicely unfalsifiable, so I'll take that as a "no".

Do it. Here's a link even: http://biblehub.com/kjv/

[SlopeHead1980]

Mary , with respect no you didn't. you gave an open answer by saying reading the bible. Jeb thank you you got closer. I may not agree with you but i respect your belief.

[SlopeHead1980]

I was never 'dragged' to church please don't think it was against my will. I do not object to go to church but my outlook i feel would be disrespectful to others if i did.

Yes i have read the bible and i recommend it to others even if they are not religious as it has a lot to teach no matter who you are or what you believe.

Obviously she needs a man to read the Bible and explain it to her. Mary you sometimes forget that not all wome areas capable as you.

[SlopeHead1980]

Godfly really!?! Firstly i am a man which should make no difference to my understanding either way surely?

See, this is what I just don't get - this has nothing to do with ME or MY opinion.

I guess the Bible is so normal that people just don't realize what a miracle it is. I mean, the CREATOR AND RULER OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE just gave us His cheat-sheet, His INSTRUCTION GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE, which contains such useful tips as HOW TO NOT BURN AND BE TORTURED FOR ETERNITY. And how do people respond to it?

"Gee, I dunno, I guess I'll ask someone who is NOT THE CREATOR AND RULER OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, because, you know, I might as well trust them even though they are NOT THE CREATOR AND RULER OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE."

I just. Don't. Get. It.

The only theory I can come up with is that 99% of people who claim to be religious are lying atheists. How else could their behavior make any sense?

[SlopeHead1980]

Apologies Jeb i get your point. I don't disagree with you persee, and i understand that this is more than just opinion.

I'm not out to offend you or anyone i promise. I'm interested in learning. I only ask that you and others can be objective with me also.

[Jack Rankan]

So... What church you go to, your favorite Bible verse and how did you find Jesus?

Wait, what? Godfly's just expressing Biblical truth there (if you've read the WHOLE BIBLE then you must have seen the "you wimminz just be shuttin' up in church, now you hear?" bits). You had given no clue to your gender previously, so his confusion is kind of understandable. What I really don't get is why you could be offended by being called a woman at all?

[SlopeHead1980]

I'mno offended as to being associated as a woman. You are right that i had not stated my gender. What i was annoyed with was the fact the poster assumed i was a woman because it was assumed i had misinterpreted the previous post.

I am off to bed ladies and gents. Goodnight to you all, thank you for your contributions and i will be back.

On what basis? Without using the Bible to justify a misogynistic viewpoint (like the True Christians™ do), how could someone else thinking that you're a woman possibly be cause for offense?

I just assumed you were a woman because of the femme way you write and because you're always bitching.

[SlopeHead1980]

Godfly please define what feminine writing is and how this differs from masculine writing, and also what my 'bitching' is? I merelery asked a question and am open to ddebate but this seems to have passed you?
