Re: I want you to prove to me that god is real.

Well now, at least you are confessing to what most of the "atheist" unsaved heathen that show up here won't admit.

Hehehe, I'll take this as a complement even though I'm not sure it's supposed to be one.

It seems that modern science suggests that it may be possible for you to create your own universe (scientists for some time have speculated that it would not require much mass to do so - as little as some lint from your navel)

Good ole quantum mechanics for ya. The thing I like the most about this is that it gives me as much power as God has doesn't it?

The only problem with this is that it seems that while you may be able to create a universe, you just don't get to live in it.

True but I figure, hell if your supposed God can exist anything is possible.

So you are stuck with living under whoever created to present one. I would hate to think that some Emo/Goth kids playing in their parent's basement created our universe, but on the other hand persons such as you may be pleased to be worshiping such individuals.

Hell no! Emo/Goths are pussies. You're not infering that God is a pussy are you?

Please name one contradiction in God's Holy Word. Chapter and verse, lezbean.

You know Zeke, as much as I despise the Bible I honestly can't think of one off the Top of my head. I'm not saying there aren't any (for those Christian-haters out there) I just don't have the time to look for one.

You are a liar, pure and simple. all of that fake goth-talk only makes you look like a geek. Aside from that, you are an antiChrist.

An antiChrist eh? I think you give people far too much credit. Apperently she's an antiChrist and I'm a demon. Those are quite the compliments for some of us. I don't mind I guess. I'm willing to take flattery where I can get it

Typical heathen response. Claim "laziness", as though that's a valid excuse. So tell us...how long have you been on welfare?

It's not so much my unwillingness to look more than it is that I literally don't have the time. I actually have a life outside reading the bible unlike you Christians.

Son, you know it's a sin to lie, right? Especially to the people of God's Chosen Church. So put down the chicken wings, wipe your hands, and dig into the good ol' 1611. We'll be here when you're ready.

You'll be there when I'm ready for what? To convert? Fine, the chicken wings are down and my hands are all clean. Give it your best shot.

Oh, so you've already read the KJV1611 from cover to cover? Then enlighten us with your favorite passage.

I have read the KJV1611 but I hated the whole thing.

Re: I want you to prove to me that god is real.

First of all God wrote the bible and by that I mean the KJV, and also they have proven that a lot of stuff in the bible happen! Just look around you that should be proof enough!

Hmmm, that was just vague enough to be utterly pointless. I hope one of your fellow God lovers can come to your aid because you've actually hurt their cause of proving God.....congratulations

Re: I want you to prove to me that god is real.

Geez...there is no book like the King James Bible. You really can't beat some of the writing.

We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. Isaiah 59:10, 11


Now THAT is a LAMENT! Shakespeare was writing his plays at the same time that God was inspiring the 47 Scholars to write the King James Bible, and I always wonder if some of the divine inspiration kind of leaked out and got into Shakespeare as well as the Scholars.

Certainly the best of the King James Bible can stand with the best of Shakespeare as pure literature.

Of course the KJV is not mere literature, it is the perfect and divine Word of God. But if it were just literature...then it would stand pretty darned high in the pantheon of English prose.

Quite, it's just a shame that can't believe that the human mind is beautiful and eloquent enough to come up with that kind of writing on its own.

Re: I want you to prove to me that god is real.

Human inspiration -- yeah, it's an odd thing. The KJV has been criticized as being a very bad translation of the seminal Greek and Hebrew. Some modern "book-Christians" think that other translations do a better job. One of those "scholars" (burning now in Hell) wrote:

"The Authorized Version [ie, the KJV] is filled with places in which the translators rendered a Greek text derived ultimately from Erasmus's edition, which was based on a single twelfth-century manuscript that is one of the worst of the manuscripts that we now have available to us!"

But that's exactly why it must be the Divine Word: God spoke through the 47 scholars, and turned out a Book more powerful and beautiful than the "original" documents.

Oddly enough, in the evolutionary model of religion one would expect an excellent re-writing of seminal texts to win the struggle for survival over a less-accessible, less-inspiring but more historically accurate one. The re-written text would be, in essence, a successful mutation -- one which more forcefully captured the imaginations and intellects of the minds of the host society than did the old text.

Funny, huh?

Now, the Lord is divine, immutable, perfect, ineffable, unchanging, eternal, and has a very nice beard. So His religion is perfect and unchanging and eternal. Right? Of course! So all this stuff about the KJV being a successful mutation which changes the fundamental texts of His religion must be baloney.

I think it is probably that kind of baloney that has those bits of pimento and olive mixed into the artificial meat-substance. You know that kind? It's pretty good baloney if you are living on the cheap.

Praise ye the Lord!

Ya, you'd think that the lost information would be more important than poetry but I guess not. What really confuses me though, is that shouldn't God have just made the original version peotic in the first place? Then he could have saved countless translators from having to do their jobs and the College of Cardinals wouldn't have had to vote on what books to put in and which ones to exclude, not to mention preventing time relentless destruction of who knows how many accounts of Jesus' life. Oh well, I don't really like pimentos or olives so that's probably why I don't get it...
