gtfo with your "oh this is literal but this is a parable! it's all open to interpretation" bull . when the book was written, it meant what it said literally. as science has continued to on religion, bible thumpers move the goal posts on what is literal and what is not, desperately trying to have their little fairy tale book fit the modern reality or to try and excuse the incredible bigotry, incest, murder, torture, magical fairy tale creatures, and any other garbage.
This is exactly what skull is doing! You described his actions perfectly whether you realize it or not.
Thank you.
Regardless, TDs family problems are really none of skulls or anyone else's business. Would you want him or anyone else sticking their noses in your family problems?
In any case, this is a SPORTS forum, not a biblical forum, right?
skull can believe whatever jargon he wants as long as he doesn't try to get me to believe it![]()
I actually feel the same way you do about it and that is why I advised non involvement in this particular threads topic.
Don't worry, Leo, I won't try to make you believe it. Literalists would make anyone not want to believe, so I can understand why many don't. Can't blame you.
The parable aspect is pretty clear once you know where to look. Jesus and God tell you. Just about everyone slips right past it. That is also explained. It also explains why xmas thinks it is none of my business when it is. His, too if he is a Christian. One may not be able to change it, but you are to speak out against it.
That's what it means in the passage about looking in the mirror then not remembering what you saw as you turn away. About only being able to "see Moses". Fake christians read the direct words and immediately reject them, but turn to fables and myths.
The Son can only do what He has seen the Father doing.
Since Christ spoke in parables to the crowd that means God did, too. That's the Old Testament. Anyone who thinks that stuff is literal is not very bright.
Paul refers to these as Jewish MYTHS and FABLES. They are parables about Jesus.
"All of the Prophets and the Law (the Old Testament) prophesied until John."
"You search the scriptures (The Old Testament) because in them you think you will find eternal life. THEY TESTIFY OF ME (Christ)."
This is the worst conversation I have ever read on this site. *no hyperbole*
I have to live with my conscience. I do not believe in divorce. But it is the province of God Alone to judge others, not us!
So it is between the people getting a divorce and God, not them and me or them and skull.
He needs to understand this, and if he doesn't see this, then I pray someday he will, before he meets his Maker.
Otherwise he will be just as harshly judged.
And no one needs the bible or any other book to know this, they just need to follow their conscience and live a moral life.
Were I to ever meet Jesus face to face, I'd bend his hippie looking got ass over and drill him right in his cornhole.
But... What Would Jesus Do?
He'd forgive me.
Xmas why exactly do you think we have a conscience? Where do you think it came from? The Word of God tells us not to judge externally or hypocritically. I cant tell anyone whether or not they're going to Heaven or eternal separation from God. I can't tell someone not to commit adultery if I'm not being loyal to my wife, that includes lusting after others even on computer screen or if I'm single and whorring around. But ifa loved one Iis doing something that will cause them harm are you saying you won't stop them out of fear of judging? Is thst showing yoi love them?
Lee your response shows you really didn't read my articles. There's not so much parables in the articles but as skull said there's a lot of errors in interpreting from Hebrew and Greek to English, mainly in the King James Bible which is an old translation. The New King James and Niv use many of the latest archaeological manuscripts. And it's this archaeology that is proving the bible more n more accurate almost every day. Science as well is proving consistent with the bible not against it. Many well known atheists with more knowledge than you have converted. A debate was recently held at Oxford with some renowned atheists and Christian apologists and the consensus was the atheists lost. Please read tjose articles lee. I do take the Bible more literal than skull but also take it as literature-with metaphors, similes, anthropormorphisims, etc. If anyone tries to convince you Lee take it more as we actually are concerned for our lost brethren and desire God's best for you, and we know what happens if your sins have not been atoned for. If we go on believing we lose nothing.
I have repeatedly shown you the direct commands of God on this issue for Christians. God judges those OUTSIDE, Christians are to judge, using Christ's standards, those INSIDE the church. We are also to speak the truth.
Your silly notions of humanism and "decency" may allow you false reassurance, but they do not alter the facts.
If judgment was not authorized then anything goes. May as well have giant sex parties after the false teacher gives his sermon on things he doesn't understand.
You will never have a chance of understanding the parables until you get the literal. The invisible until you get the visible.
The final judgment is God's, but until then we are to judge righteously those within. Doctrine, REPROOF, CORRECTION, and TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. This requires JUDGMENT.
You have not offered one single scripture to refute me, nor does one exist.
Now shut your lying face. Your conscience is seared.
The NIV is awful, BTW. They took Erasmus' error and popularized it.
If you ever meet Christ it will only be at judgement and you won't have the chance to beg for mercy. He only offers forgiveness in this life no second chances after death
Skull I believe Tim has the right to move on cause he was not offending party. Does God prefer reconciliation absolutely but the only one who cant move on is Amy since she was violator
I came to bring salvation to ALL MEN. All.
