[QUOTE="no1home2day, post: 2356587, member: 119063"] You can certainly discuss individual Bible verses, but when you try to pull things out and twist them to mean something else, then your committing intellectual and moral suicide! (Intellectual suicide because if you treated the rest of your life, such as your finances, the way you treated the Bible, you would go bankrupt, and you would NEVER accept this kind of intellectual destruction on other avenues of your life.) (Moral suicide because you're cutting off your own neck to try to prove an unprovable point, but you'll still have to stand before God on Judgment day.) I've read the entire Bible - several times in fact - and I come to a totally different conclusion. The information is all there, but the way you interpret that information is filtered through your own limited, finite, temporal mindset, and since you are already pre-biased against the Bible, you'll find fault with EVERY thing you read. Here's what I mean, using a simple illustration: If you put on purple-tinted contacts, the world will have a purple tint to everything you see. Nothing you see will be quite what it really looks like. If you forget you're wearing the purple-tinted contacts, you may soon start thinking that the world really is purple; but if you want to see clearly, you have to remove the purple-tinted contacts from your eyes. You have so much evil in your own heart, that everything you see looks evil. If you want to see clearly, you have to remove the evil from your OWN heart! Jesus said it like this; He said, "You hypocrite! Remove the beam from your eye so you can see clearly, before you try to remove a speck from the eye of some one else!" He said that the only reason people reject God is "because their deeds are evil, and they love darkness and hate the light." The problem is not in the Bible, but in the evil in your own heart, because you reject God because you love your sins and you hate Truth. In other words, the ONLY reason you don't believe in God is because you don't WANT to believe in God, plain and simple! Sadly, what you got for 18 years was "cow pox" - you were inoculated so the real thing (small pox) wouldn't affect you. You never knew God, you never knew Jesus. I don't know if you were ever taught about sin, but some body did you a disservice by not teaching you the truth about sin, about God, about judgment, and about the great sacrifice Jesus made. SOME where along the line, the connection between your head (knowledge) and your heart (Truth) was severed, so you rejected everything. [/QUOTE]
