Acts 26 23 that the Christ would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to his own people and to the Gentiles." So what about Lazarus? (just one I came across)

I wasn't saying that it was. Asking a what if question.

Thank you. OK, I apparently came across as more hostile...I wasn't insinuating that nothing in the Bible was true. I *probably* should have stated it different, and for that, I apologize.

Honestly, no. It would take more than one example. (See my next post.)

I can't say I blame you for your position. Sorry to hear that you did not get a welcome when you came here. I appreciate you welcoming me.

Peter? Married? Nah... See, when the Bible mentions his wife, it is symbolic...not a literal wife, but you know, the church. Just like Jesus' bros and sis were symbolic siblings. ;) (Yes, that was me being funny. I've met som RCs who make that claim.) On a similar topic...but serious... Why...

No problem...take your time.

Yup. My point is that this is even better than Occam's Razor or Pascal's Wager. See, if there is 1 mistake in something perfect...it is no longer perfect. Once it is no longer perfect...then it calls the whole thing into question. Before someone asks (because I know it will happen), the...

Well, one sees a rise in animal homosexuality when there is either an overpopulation or when there are no members of the opposite sex around. Just out of curiosity...and speaking of anal sex...is that acceptable in marriage? I ask because that cannot produce children. Ever. Also, what if being...

I'm curious to know...what parts have archaeology backed up? (I know I could Google a website, but...there are too many, so that's why I figured I'd ask you.)

Uh, thanks for the references. Jesus never destroyed the law...he came to fulfill and uphold it. You're welcome...I think.

I didn't think that you were calling me a bad person. By the same token, you strike me as one of those, few, people that I would actually be impressed by (aka...a good Christian, as opposed to a "good" Christian). Please understand, and I have no desire to argue it, that I see murdering...

But first...a quote: Agree? Disagree? Wisdom... A good thing: Proverbs 4:7 A bad thing: 1 Corinthians 1:19 Terah (Abraham's pappy) was 70 when Abraham was born (Gen. 11:26). Abe was 75 when he moved (Gen 12:4). (70+75 = 145) T lived to be 205 years of age (Gen 11:32). Yet Acts 7:4 Says T...

I'd been wondering what your beliefs are for some time. I randomly picked this one. As for asking serious questions...this one had no ulterior motive. Really. No knives hidden anywhere here. Next time...perhaps. This time, I'm not wearing my boots, and I am unarmed.

Um, since you asked, I usually carry it in my boot. (Not sure what that meant...but anyway) Thanks for your response.

So...only the originals (of which there are no copies) are actually inerrant, but any errors that are there are minor and inconsequential. I'm not going to pull the whole "bat/bird" thing.   And I refer you to a literal translation...and one says tan and the other says khaki.  You look back...

As I said...then let gays marry. So. (No offense, I don't know how old you are. So if you are young and unmarried, don't take offense.) By having sex in marriage not dedicated to reproduction is twisting sex away from its primary purpose. Once again...gays are not allowed to marry. Look, you...

(Personally, I would have filed the adultry and honoring parents under the second commandment, but anyway.) Let's be realistic. I have never killed anyone. I have not stolen anything since I quit being a Christian. I don't covet my neighbor's stuff nor his wife. I don't bear false witness. I...

Do it on the "off" days, it's OK. Wear a piece of latex...bad. (In other words, I agree, Leo.) Anyway, if it was Gods will that a woman get pregnant...he could just make the condom be one of the 1%.

God says all that stuff about women in the Bible. Why do you choose to NOT follow that, while you do follow the anti-gay stuff? (I'm not saying you are advocating killing homosexuals.) Put another way...Why do you not follow all of Leviticus? Why only parts? Favor...if you don't mind...Please...
