So God told you himself? How do you know you aren't suffering from mental illness?

Because God told me so.

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

Mark 3:21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

Re: What do you think of this bible passage?

Yes I do because if the bible was so clear and authoritative, then there wouldn't be so many varations of the Judaism, including christianity, islam, jehovah's witness, mormonism, etc.

If it is a variation, then it is NOT a Bible. It is as cheap and nasty as a fake Rolex.

The other groups you have mentioned are not religions, they are social gatherings of godless sinners bent on defeating the Lord Almighty but He will prevail!

Interesting you avoided my previous post.
The burden of proof is not upon us. In any civil matter, it is the accuser that must provide a shred of proof, you have provided none that we are wrong.

So if Bob wrote a new gospel and claimed that it should be included into the bible as one of the holy books because he personally talked to God, you would assume he's correct unless proven otherwise?

Of course not. The Bible clearly says otherwise.

Revelation 22: 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

That has nothing to do with my comment. We are not 19 year co-eds you are trying to bed. Game playing is not tolerated.

Re: What do you think of this bible passage?

It would only be false if it could be proven that God does exist. The statement "God exists" or "God does not exist" have no correct answer. These are questions that are meaningless to ponder.

Why does a book being written over many centuries mean it must be true? That's not logical.

Of course the book saying God does not exist is false. Even you said just because it is in a book does not make it true.

So you are saying it is meaningless to believe in God, just because you do not want to. Is it selfish of you to force your opinion on True Christians here.

A book that has been written over centuries is not logical, but one that is written over a few years is.

Re: What do you think of this bible passage?

Not it doesn't because you are starting with assumptions. You first have to establish that a god even exists in the first place and then from there prove that he communicated to man, and that the bible is this communication. None of those have been established. "We True Christians™ follow ALL of the Bible, whether we think it's nice or not. It's God's Word." But that's your assumption. You've been TOLD that it's God's word by your parents, your relatives, friends, etc. Does is it really God's word? That has never been established. Everything else you claim fails because your assumptions have never been established to begin with. And it's not possible to do everything the bible says because parts of the bible are contradictary.

Jeremy, if you bothered to finish reading my response to you before attempting to reply, you would see that I gave you as one option for the Bible not being God's Word is that God does not exist. I also stated that we already know this is what you believe. I should have added that your standard atheistic talking points have been spewed here far more eloquently by many others.

I then addressed why it is we follow the ENTIRE Bible, even the parts we may not like. If one is to be Christian, that is what is required. There is no, "Oh, that's out of date" or "That commandment to kill witches is just metaphorical".

I'm sure, Jeremy, that you know many people who call themselves Christians, yet espouse non-Biblical doctrines. They may support homosexual relationships. They may think it's OK to have a Wiccan live next door. Perhaps they divorced due to "irreconcilable differences" and remarried.

These people, Jeremy, are condemning themselves to Hell by their choices. They are playing God, deciding for themselves what is right or wrong.

Now, you say it is not possible to follow ALL 600+ of God's COMMANDS. You assert that they are contradictory. Which of God's COMMANDS (not requests, not suggestions, but COMMANDS) contradicts another COMMAND?

I'm sure we can help you understand anything that confuses you.

Re: What do you think of this bible passage?

I'm not calling God a liar, the bible has never been proven to be God's word.

The burden of proof is on you to prove that it happened in the first place. I'm not assuming that it didn't happen, you have to prove that it did.

For your information, there is nothing in the Bible that commands us to prove that the Bible is the truth.

And believing in God and being spared an eternity in hell is no burden whatsoever.

God commands us to obey His commands. We let Him work on "proving" His truth to unbelievers.

We concern ourselves with doing God's work here on earth. That includes proclaiming the words of His Word, and making it as difficult as possible for those who do not want to obey God's commands to get away with their disobediance.

We can't make you obey Him, but we can make His commands known and refuse to give sinners a free pass in committing their many sins.

The more that earthly laws and governments adhere to God's laws, the less leeway will be available for sinners.

That's why so many Americans agree that we need the Bible to be a legally required aspect in American culture.

It won't be long now before we elect the type of people who will pass the sorts of laws that will make the kind of America that God really wants.
