“If you believed that God speaks to us, wouldn't you want to know what He says?”
“Okay, so lets have a good discussion about the Bible and Christianity(not to be confused with religion). I am a Christian and I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross at Calvary for our sins and was resurrected 3 days later overcoming death and reconciling us back to God our creator through this act of holy sacrifice. Through one man (Adam) sin was introduced to mankind, through one man (Jesus) the price for sin was paid. All we have to do is answer His call on our lives. It is His desire that none should perish but all should be saved and receive eternal life through Jesus Christ. Kneel down(humble ourselves before God) ask for fogiveness of our sins(cry out to Christ to save us from this sinful life), confess Jesus as our Lord and Savoir and believe in our heart that Jesus died for us and was resurrected. Why?If you're not just miserable enough from living in this world in the state it is in and it doesn't seem to be getting any better, then do it because you can walk with an inner peace knowing that you are in God's hands even when things are going wrong around you. and when you're saved death isn't that scary anymore, because you know where you will go when it happens. God loves us and when he starts a work in you, you can be sure He will continue it all of you're days, as long as you are willing and receive Him.”
“This was a horrible ass book. ”
“Lachie:I don't think the Bible was meant to be interesting as in the context of other books. It wasn't written by one person; rather, it's a compilation of various writers divulging their experiences. So it's not surprising that the stories don't always 'mesh'. The main objective book is elementary: to inspire its readers.Perhaps if you re-read it without such objectivity, and without the expectation of it being like a typical novel, your perspective may be different. How can you compare the authors of the Bible to modern-day novelists? Did the authors of the Bible anticipate their characters, or know how to twist their words to lead up to suspense, or give the aura of mystery? Of course not! They just penned what they saw and experienced. They didn't write because they like to write stories or because they are especially good at it, they wrote because they wanted to record what they saw. Nothing more, nothing less.You may believe it to be fiction, and "badly over-written", but to this day, the Holy Bible remains the world's most popular book. It's a staple of billions of homes around the world. If there is one person living in some remote part of the world who has never had many books, the ONE book they are likely to know is the Bible. And that's saying something.”
“Watch out, this is not a newspaper.Read it with other view.”
“I am going to try to read this as a novel.”
“Lorin B, But that's what people don't understand!!! Most of them believe the lies of the school systems (which get most of their funding through non profit organizations like the ford foundation and the Rockefeller foundation). The infiltration of communism into our country is astonishing. All the issues we face today in this country can be tracked back to someone in our government not following our own constitution. Our founding fathers (a majority of which were christian) had good sound biblical concepts when they framed our country. This slowly began to corrupted more and more with the establishment of a central bank (the federal reserve which is a private bank), and this my friend will eventually set up the one world government. Some may think my last statement is crazy. Read "The Naked Capitalist" By W. Cleon Skoussen (only about 125pg) which gives a great over view of how this is being pulled off, and how communism is really just a front for the international bankers who are helping set up communist governments around the world. Skoussen's book is an over view of Dr. Carroll Quigley's book "Tragedy and Hope" which Quigley having looked at CFR records wrote a book about what he found. Quigley, being a supporter of this movement wrote this book because he felt that this movement could not be stopped (Quigley was an insider and former President Clinton's instructor)... It's amazing because what these guys are doing is actually WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.... In the end you have to understand that Lachie M is actually programmed.”
“Road Creek, you look like you may be in the army or some form of military service, the only organisation more disgusting than religion, which Karl Marx called the opium of the masses. And Karl Marx's beard was far more impressive than Jesus'.”
“Without degrading Christianity, the Bibile would have to be one of the worst books of all time. How badly over-written, contradictory and boring. And heather, it was written by a plethora of authors, not just one imaginary one. I would be somewhat embarrassed if my religion was based on such a poor work of fiction. However its better than Dianetics and Scientology.”
“Thanks to those who shared a comment on the Holy Bible. I won't stoop to making comments like yours. Hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I did!”
