Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

Well then, answering questions by more questions :
"We often hear that the Genesis creation accounts were never meant to be read literally. What historical evidence do you have for that assertion?"
Who need a proof ? What historical evidence have we at all of the Genesis creation ? You and me do not need proofs of that, because we have the Bible, which is not a rational argument, but a faith fact. A proof is a rational factor none expects from you, so why would you ever expect it from other christians ? (Unless someone can rationally prove each and every quote from the Bible he uses, which none will never ever be able to do).

"Which is the Word of God: those people’s interpretation of the Bible, or the Bible? If you are justified in reading the Bible in that way, why are homosexuals not equally justified in doing so?" To understand something, one needs to interpret it by the bias of language ; that's why there skilled and unskilled translators, as well as misunderstanding. That's why it's impossible to "literally" understand the Bible : a book inspired by God but done by mans, situated in its own cultural context but holding eternal truths, containing some heartwarming stories but also philosophical considerations, deserves at least to be treated with the respect the lesser assyrian scroll earns :experts who spent a lifetime doing researchs studies them, concert with each other and gain a transient understanding of it. Later on, they will work further on it to improve the gained knowledge, justifying theirs own authority on the rightness of theirs judgment. That is how knowledge works, like God's actions in our world, by "sharing the divine) Love."

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

Jesus was very liberal. He supported giving to the poor, and taking in the the sick and weary.

Giving to the poor YES, but NOT to those who are just lazy and refuse to take up work and NOT to those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior. I would give to DECENT poor if I'd ever encounter one. Jesus cares about the poor but primarily about the poor in spirit, not lazy "poor in money" welfare bums

Please post the Scripture that backs up your claim.

Spoiler alert: Jesus is a REPUBLICAN.

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

No, everyone is capable of giving. I just trying to point out the Jesus would most likley be considered liberal by today's standards.

Preaching that we should give to the poor doesn't necessarily mean that one is a liberal. People of any political philosophy, even voluntaryism, can believe that we should give to the poor.

Are you claiming that liberals are more generous than normal people?

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

It is hard to explain. For the sake of simplicity, I believe there is an higher power but i do not believe it to be as the bible tells us. So a bit in between but leaning closer to Christian.

Why do you believe there is a higher power, and how do you propose that we find out what (if any) will it has for our lives?

A dangerous position, my friend. God could terminate you at any moment. Could be a piano dropped on your head or a runaway 3-axle bus. Either way, you are reduced to a blob of pink goo and gristle, your soul dispatched to Hell for an eternity of torment and anal rape by Satan and all the other God-mockers that you will join.

Would you not sleep just a little better if you accept Jesus and know that you will join Him in Heaven, regardless of what ends your insignificant mortal life on Earth? We can help, if you will only kneel before your Savior and receive His warm and satisfying gift of Salvation.

In Christ

Tell me, does this "higher power" just happen to agree with you 100%?

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

...I was curious that if we would assume it was true, would it be a plausible thing.

Why would anyone assume an implausible thing to be true?

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

No, i am not a Christian like you all are. Nor am i an Atheist. I am just not sure what i believe in.

But you don't believe in the God of the Bible, I take it. You live like an atheist, as if there's no God. How do you think the earth and everything else got here?

[False Christiaan]

Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"

Really?

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

How did you miss that?

Really? It says that? hm, then i guess i must have read a bible in which it was removed... That's strange. But, i did not ask it for the sake of proving who is wrong and who is right. I was curious that if we would assume it was true, would it be a plausible thing.
