Re: Test if your Bible is God's holy word

Question #1

Cite book, chapter, and verse for that proposition.

Question #2 - Note the lack of response to Question #1, just a copy and paste of the meat of Question #1!

Cite book, chapter and verse where it says the bible will burn. If the bible doesn't say it will burn then it must not be able to burn.

Where does it say the sun is made of coal? I checked the entire thread and found no one who questioned him.

Why am the only one asked to back up my sources when this man clearly doesn't.

Childish response to being caught in an evil paradox!

For those who would like to know, Pastor Isaac Peters is unable to answer the question I asked him, he therefore sent me a warning for "talking back to him."

As far as I know, pastors should be able to answer all biblical questions, not ask them. They should already know what the bible says. I don't see how asking a question is an offensive act, maybe as the pastor answers my questions of.

1. Where does it say the sun is made of coal.
2. Where does it say the bible is able to burn.

Then he can also answer how asking a religious question is offensive. I do believe the Bible states to live a Christ-like life. I can't remember a verse where Jesus was questioning his disciples or anyone he was sermonizing and smited anyone who couldn't answer.

Pastor Isaac has slapped me across the cheek, and I bear him no ill will, I shall turn my other cheek; should he decide to sin again I give shall give him the opportunity.

Final Judges Decision
A discussion is like a game of chess. First one moves, then it is the other persons turn. The good Pastor asked the first question regarding book, chapter and verse. Paper_Cut ignored the Pastors question (which was first). When called on that fact, Paper_Cut got snippy. Therefore, game default, win to the Pastor.

We Christians do not worship the bible. The bible is not an idol, the pages are not in themselves holy, it is the message that is holy. You can burn a bible, but you can never destroy God's Word.

We Christians do not worship the bible.

If you do not worship the Word of God, the Bible, then you are not a True Christian.

the pages are not in themselves holy

Are you insane? How can the word of God not be Holy?

You can burn a bible

You can also burn in hell. There are smarter things to do though.

We worship God, not some inanimate object. Do you want me to provide the relevant scripture that forbids worshiping idols?

The Word is Holy, the paper it is printed on is not, nor is computer screen that displays verses from His Word. Following your reasoning even Satan would be Holy if he quoted from the Bible.

You mean Exodus 20? No need to, I already know. How I know? The Bible! It's the Holy Word.

You must be kidding. You don't get Holy by quoting from the Bible. You need to live by it.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

So I see we're all in agreement on this point. Excellent.

Nah...
The First Day: Light

THEN THE FSM SAID, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And the FSM adjusted his willowy eyestalks and saw that the light was good; and the FSM divided the light from the darkness. He called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night or “Prime Time.” So the evening and the morning were the first day.
