Please don't get me started. Which part then? The many different translations, the apocrypha, the disputed books of the canon...???



Sorry, not throwing away God or the Bible or Jesus simply because my beliefs don't line up with yours. You are the 2nd Christian to tell me to do so, and I must say, I find it quite appalling. I would never tell another Christian to do so.



Of course He does, or He would be here walking around and telling everyone in explicate terms what exactly is required of them to be rewarded in the next life. He leaves instead the Bible, translated and (mis)interpreted a million different ways.



Amen and amen.
Good Luck!

Oh Jeff is that what you really believe???? He is here walking around telling us in explicate terms what exactly is required of us to be rewarded in this life and the next one, it's called the Holy Spirit and the Bible God's Word is our instruction book for living, you seem to have forgotten that.

I know that to you, ILNC, it seems so. I haven't forgotten that for myself, but it's obviously not true for everyone across the world, or we wouldnt have so many different religions, and within Christianity, so many sects and denoms.

Sometimes we have to remember that not everyone lives in a Christian enviroment like we do. As an example, to people born in Iran what you have stated above would seem complete nonsense to them. Do you see what I'm trying to say?

It's like if a Muslim said that Mohammed was clearly a prophet and God left us the Koran as our instruction book. Would you even for a second think that was true? Of course you wouldn't.

Default No but................

You need God through the Holy Spirit to decern what is the real truth. Study the bible but ask God for understanding and he shall because you are seeking him. He always shows up when you seek him.
