Christianity QA

Question:

<snip for space, but gotta say: LOVE your response!! That’s a quote for H.L. Menken who couldn’t stand the church.  Funny you are trying to twist it into something that supports it.  Doesn’t God have his own sense of humor or does he have to borrow from his enemies too?

To answer your question, Nevermore, of "doesn’t God have his own sense of humor…?" I believe the answer is "look at the platypus".  Remember the movie Dogma?  They stated that in the opening sequence. It MUST be so! [great post, Nevermore]

Response:

What a sad, pathetic and small God you have… He’s very comforting, Kelly. He gives peace and he made the universe.

Did not.

He’s bigger than yours. — Terrell At least when right-wingers rant, it’s because their tiny little heads are pointed.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –         [SNIPALOT] 4. "The Bible was written by men." As an objection, this is by far the silliest. When you write a letter, are you writing it, or is the pen? As I type this column, am I writing it, or is my computer? Clearly, the pen, or the computer, is the instrument, not the writer. The same principle applies to the writers of Scripture. They were instruments, but God’s Spirit is the author. ===None of the writers compiled in the Bible considered themselves a mere "instrument" of any "spirit". You apparently also believe that "channelers" are actually having their hands moved by some spirits or alien beings. The Bible declares of itself ===This is totally false, in fact a BIG LIE, used to entice people into believing things your pick out for them from the Bible, together with your particular sect’s spin and interpretation. The Bible declares NOTHING. It is like a BASKET, a LIBRARY, a COLLECTION of books written, indeed, BY MEN! That includes the man who, under the false name of "Paul", stated his OPINION about certain "writings" (translated as "scripture"). that "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God." (2 Timothy 3:16) He could not have meant the "Bible", because it had not yet been compiled at that time! and the proof is in the pudding. The writers of Scripture ranged from shepherds to kings to fishermen, but the 66 books that make up the Bible read as a single, harmonious narrative emanating from a Single Author. ===And THAT is an even bigger LIE! The authors could not even agree what to call their "God", what "God" did or did not order them to do, how seriously those orders ("laws") must be taken, or simple details such as where Jesus family lived before he was born, who was the father of Joseph, how many donkeys he rode into Jerusalem, etc., etc. Every prophecy made in the Bible about specific events, places and times have come true to the letter. ===More lies. Not a simile "prophecy" was ever fulfilled, though some have been written after the fact, others have been twisted and reinterpreted (e.g. Hosea 11:1-2 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. But the more I  called Israel, the further they went from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images." This is interpreted as a "prophecy" about Jesus having lived in Egypt, fulfilled, according to the story in "Matthew", which, BTW, is contradicted by "LUKE". Some are not yet fulfilled because it is not yet the time. ===VERY FUNNY! It is like a fortune teller telling you she was right, only the predicted time has not yet come. But the record in history is 100 percent accuracy. This is why we have only the books in the Bible that have been authenticated by fulfilled prophecy. More than 300 prophecies were fulfilled in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. ===Lies, lies, more lies! Just like the one about Egypt. — L.

excuse me "Libertardius the Ludicrous" but "L.Roberts." wrote no such shit, it was your anal buddy "Gactimus the Prophylactimus", who wrote that stupidity to which you added your stupidity, so scroff you anus spinctercus.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – 1. "Seeing is believing. I’ve never seen God, so how do I know He exists?" Nobody has ever seen the wind, but there is no doubt of its power. Nobody has seen history, but there is no doubt of its legacy. Nobody has seen a person’s mind, but that doesn’t make us mindless. TV and radio waves are invisible, but with the proper receiver, we can see their results. Having never seen God is not much of a reason for rejecting Him, if you get right down to it. Let’s see if we can do better. 2. "I may have broken the Ten Commandments, but I do good things for people. If God is fair, the scales will balance." One look at "Hollywood morality" should dispel this one. They commit adultery in their youth, and then become involved in giving to AIDS research, etc., as they grow older. In their minds, they think that they are balancing the scales. They have done bad, and now they are doing good. It doesn’t work that way, even before an imperfect judge in a secular courtroom
