Re: Why is it wrong to question the bible?

Look abomination, if you don't want to hear the Word of The Lord, don't walk into church. Here is the Landover Baptist Mission Statement:

"The Holy Bible, KJV1611, was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture therein is totally true and trustworthy.”

I am in no way uncomfortable with my lifestyle. And no I am not a genetic dead end.

So, it's the turkey baster and a lezbean, is it?

Re: Why is it wrong to question the bible?

Please will you not call me sweetiepie? Perhaps you miss your former gay life?

I most assuredly do not miss the misery and despair of being a fag. I'm trying to pull you out of the gutter, my friend. There is no future in your choice to be a queer. Only pain, disease, homelessness, drug addiction and a danger to yourself and anyone around you.

Why do you think I am taking the time here to try to help? You are here for a reason and it is because you know in your heart that you are disgustingly filthy abomination and need help before God smites you with the righteous fire your wicked soul deserves.

So let's dispense with the denial and start working toward your 12-steps out of sodomy. Will you first admit that you have a problem and need God's help?

In Christ.

Re: Why is it wrong to question the bible?

And no mr. John Creeser, they did not. They gave me no answer that did not come from that book of yours. Give me one good reason as to why your bible was not written by man - and please do not say because the bible tells you so.

Good luck with that. The Landover Baptists are a good example of what happens when you let your religion do your thinking for you. They know their big book of fairy tales extremely well and follow it to the letter, but that and conservative talk radio seem to be about all they care about. They'd probably regard anything else as unacceptably watering down Christianity to make it something it's not.

Try reading the Bible instead of your gay lifestyle magazines.

So are you looking forward to being just a house mom?

And I assume it is okay to mock her, since she is a lesser human than we men?

Yeah I'm not really convinced. You say you want to save us. You want to convert us. You must have something more than quote's from a book that could just as well be written by some random dude who was bored?

Is that why you converted? Because people did not approve of you being gay? I can imagine it must've been hard back then.

My life is devoted God. There is nothing wrong with that.

Who are you talking about here. Whom are you referring to as "her".

Re: Why is it wrong to question the bible?

Well, I suppose I could quote Tacitus in his Annals, Pliny the younger and the Roman Emperor Trajan, Flavius Josephus, Clement, Epistle of Barnabas, Polycarp, Ignatius, Irenaeus and Tertullian, all from around the time of Jesus and all of whom, in their published works, record Jesus and His Work, and Life, some even mention His Resurrection.

But I doubt your dissolute deathstyle allows for much reading other than Hairdressers’ Weekly, and so I have to ask, "What proof do you wish?"

I am referring to you. And no there is nothing wrong with devoting one's life to god - especially when all he gives you in return is... nothing.
You get to live your life as a servant. Not to god but to a man and his offspring.
Is that all you want out of your life? Do you really agree that you are a lesser human than a man?

I am here because I was furious to stumble across your forums.

How on earth can you people live with yourselves? All that hate and anger. It must be terrible.

And no mr. John Creeser, they did not. They gave me no answer that did not come from that book of yours. Give me one good reason as to why your bible was not written by man - and please do not say because the bible tells you so.

What "hate and anger?" They are lovingly correcting you in the name of our dear Lord and Savior, Jesus. Maybe you are looking in the mirror and see self revulsion?

God does give things in return for His devotion. How could you get an idea that He does not.

I am God's servant, I said that before. What makes you think I am a servant to a man. I am not employed as a servant.

Show me proof that the way you read the bible is the correct way. Show me proof that the bible you read (which is not even the original bible but a translation) is 100% correctly translated.

Just because there are correlating witness accounts from the time around Jesus does not mean the bible is true. People see UFO's all the time. People make accounts of the same sightings independently of each other. So we should should just believe them blindly with no skepticism what so ever?

And what the hell is Hairdressers' Weekly?

Of course Ezekiel reads the bible correctly. Like all True Christians he reads one word after the other. I suppose you read it differently?

I'm sure I read it word for word - how else do you read?

This is an interesting theological point. My Father set up a manufacturing business in China and told the factory boss what quality he wanted. After a few years, the quality had gone down and he was sending more to the garbage dump than he could sell, so he went off to find out what had gone wrong. His words, clear enough at the beginning had been translated and translated and were now gibberish. He sat down with the boss and wrote down his requirements and told the boss to stick to that plan. The quality was back to normal and the guns and restraint equipment came so well made, he could put the price up substantially, and nothing was thrown away.

So it was with the Bible. God, having spoken earlier to the Israelites left them to their own resources. They messed everything up. People around Jesus' time did likewise, so God spoke with King James and inspired him to produce the final, inerrant Bible.

So you see, it doesn't matter what the other translations or versions say!

And what the hell is Hairdressers' Weekly?

Oh, I thought you would be able to tell me, my nephew, Zebulun, informed me that men who "come in through the cat flap" like hairdressing and, he tells me, the magazine has many articles on Judy Garland and the like.
