Re: Hi there peeps

Son, this is not Bible class or a forum about comprehension. I'll do one and let you learn the meaning of words later on your own, fair enough?

GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.

Pretty simple and clear. On the first day, God created light and dark. No mention of a sun, stars or anything, just light and dark.
On the fourth day, God created the Sun. He is using His previous creation of Light as He had already enveloped everything in dark.

You do understand, there is a difference from 'Light' and ' The Sun', don't you? A flashlight produce Gods gift of light. The Sun produces Gods gift of light. He certainly would not make the Sun (or a flashlight) first and then decide what to do with it.

To add, you provided 'interpretations' of the Bible and not the actual scripture. Pretty pointless.

Re: Hi there peeps

Maybe so... and yes google is a great tool to find what I am referencing however it is still true.

Look I came to try and gleam some understanding into the way you guys follow your faith and open conversation but it seems from this:

Reason: Twisting Scripture to make it sound internally contradictory

When just posting what is written in the bible that you are unable to see past some self anointed moral high ground.

The God I knew as a Christian when I was growing up and those who followed him were a lot more... understanding and respectable than what I have seen here. Men requesting girls send private pictures to them so that virginity can be verified and not being happy with a doctors report? The sale of children?

Each to their own, but I am sure I have learnt all I am to learn from directly conversing with you.

Goodnight and take care all of you.

(And my user name was not a spelling mistake - I do know how to spell exquisite... esquisite however is an handle I use as exquisite is usually taken and it spares having to add numbers to my name)

Night all, take care.

There are no contradictions in the Bible

Saying that there are directly challenges the perfection of scripture and we know it is perfect because it says so in the Bible.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Really... that juvenile that you are blind to see another point of view?

Unfortunately yes there are.

The bible also condones the smashing of babies... Or is that just in the 'parts we don't like to follow' section of the bible you follow?

Why don't you use the "Search" function to find out? You may be surprised what you can find.

Yes, we know. What of it?

The by your own 'mission statement' in following the bible verbatim then this is acceptable behaviour if one is not following 'your Gods' path/values/beliefs etc.

However Jesus obviously tells us to forgive, to love, to turn the other cheek etc

So that overrides it then?

Simplified condensed quotes with the same meaning.

Next you'll be telling me that the world is 6000 years oldish and is flat.

Re: Hi there peeps

Unfortunately, the Bible commands us to follow secular law over Biblical which prevents us from stoning and other acts of Gods Love.

Have you even slightly lurked?

Go away and browse the forums. Of course the Earth is flat and 6000 years old. Let's slow you down for a bit.

Scripture to back up your comments, we have no idea what you are talking about. Far be it from me to 'guess' or 'interpert' your thoughts.

No, there can be no 'condensed version' of the Bible. If there was, God would of suggest 'Cliff Notes'.
God means what He had written and had written what He meant.

Man wrote the bible friend

And just did some searching and what you say are lively discussions I just experienced the thread about the earth being flat.

Is this tongue in cheek stuff?

Really?

If you get really high you can actually see the curvature... hang on why am I even arguing this?

Pot, mushrooms, LSD, beer, coke, peyote, 'ludes, been there, never saw the curvature (though the sidewalk was doing some funky shit ).
