Maybe not those specific things, but they certainly want us to believe things which are equally unbelievable, don't they?

For instance, what we were indoctrinated with as children wants us to believe that democracy automatically makes life better for everyone, but the recent elections in Lebanon prove that a lie, don't they?

Mr...I give up on you. I've been arguing with people for 76 years and you don't even stay in the ball park

That is the beginning of it all for me. It's God's word. I believe it. I have faith that every word of it is inspired or God breathed. If YOU don't believe in that then you throw out the entire Bible. Either you believe it all to be truth or all a lie. You can't pick and choose.

There's nowhere in that scriptures that suggests the Bible is the word of God. This scripture is for us sinless saints who already have the knowledge of God to speak with. We are the Word of God in our created state, which is light energy. Jesus said many times that he was the light of this world and all the saints are the light, too.

The scriptures have nothing to do with being the light of the world. They are only testimonies by the people who are the light.

But time and a half is the word of God, at least these days, and the bible has much to make up on that one. Too good for your veins?

Too good has nothing to do with the truth. The truth in me is my teacher of all things and he's the one who taught me all the lies the Romans added to the new testament and the ones the Jews added to the old testament.

You can go ahead and worship that good book but I'll stick to the truth and use the scriptures he finds for me that are still okay to use. Only God knows which scriptures are lies or not.

Seriously, I can talk to you. But maybe you can talk to me about the definition of 'wicked'.

To believe or not is your choice. Jesus never forced anyone to believe in Him, His message or His miracles. I choose to believe. Matter of fact when He sent. his disciples to spread the message, he told them that for those who rejected it they were to shake the dust from their feet and move on.

Satan, devil, serpent, lucifer, wicked one, demons, thief, murderer, the dead, etc. are all symbolic names for the flesh of man. The tribulation is the flesh against the power of God and of course, we know who's winning the battle, don't we.

We chosen ones didn't have a choice in God. He did all the work and all we do is obey his commands.

No, I'm not being used. It's the system that uses me. Plus, I have a broken heart for good reason. Now the computer tells me to take a hike on Existentialism. She used me. I said,"hike".
