chrisj1968 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Was that not written by men? Sounds rigged. GOD had selected men of his choice, he is sovereign, to write his word. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness," So GOD's word is a blueprint of GOD's laws for us to live by. The Jewish Torah, Talmud, Tanahk and New testament. all the books of the NT were written by the aspotles which means, "sent ones" wrote the word. in the early church, there was 3 criteria for which books or how books got added into the bible. 1. It had to be written by an apostle or a close associate of an apostle (representative). 2. the book(s) had to follow the christian doctrine without error and 3. the book(s) had to be accepted by all the churches as sound in doctrine.

Anibal P Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I was willing to let your inconsistencies slip on by till this Bible stuff, which version of the Bible are you using? As a theology student you do know that what we have are various bad "translations" of old texts of dubious authorship? And even if you can say with 100% certainty that the original was indeed written by who it is claimed to have written it, unless you have the actual original manuscript, you are working with a flawed translation done with the translators biases plainly in the front. sorry but as a Christian with a barin I have to question the whole "holy work of God" nonsense attributed to the Bible, no one really believes that who can think and is blind. Also no matter your personal beliefs, if you are talking about the Christian God it's either God or Jehovah, again you would know this if you were really going to theology school adrynalyne, +E.Worm Jimmy and Jim K 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrynalyne Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Sept 11th 2001 Was a year that GOD brought judgement on America in the form of the WTC attacks. But why? It is widely accepted that on a past shemitah year, 1973, Roe vs Wade, brought a curse upon the US. also the WTC buildings were completed on that year. So in 2001, GOD wrought judgement on the US for our kicking GOD out of our country. Ancient Israel, the northern kingdom during the divided monarchy, GOD brought judgement on them and we, the US are mirroring Israel. Also the stock market crashed the most in a one day crash to date. God brought judgement? But..I thought humans had free will. If God brought the judgement (enacted by humans), then free will does not exist. Therefore, there is no point in believing in God or not, because we do not have free will and it has already all been decided for us. So.many.contradictions.

Dot Matrix Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Since America was consecrated as a nation under GOD, that put a blessing on the nation. You have an odd way of re-writing history. There are no references at all to a god or goddess in the US Constitution. In fact, the 1st Amendment strictly prohibits the advancement of one religion over another, or the establishment of religion. So now with 1973, we passed a law allowing for abortion, killing of babies just as the northern kingdom of Israel(during the divided monarchy) did with their children sacrificing their kids to a pagan GOD.

Then with the issue of same sex marriage this year, again, the US stuck its finger in GODs eye desecrating his creation or institution of marriage by altering what marriage is. There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to begin. First off, like I said above, the 1st Amendment prohibits the establishment of religion. Our laws stand apart from whatever holy book you read, and they're like that for a reason. Canada has stood strong for the past 10 years since it legalized gay marriage, so I don't foresee any "judgement" here, either.

chrisj1968 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 He has a name, use his name. don't just say "god", that's like saying "president" or "general" be more specific. Use a name. Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. You are asking me to use GOD's names and on the other hand jews are castigating me FOR using them. ok.. Since I'm free of the law thorugh Jesus, I can say HaShem.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted September 5, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2015 I disagree because Jesus was born on March 20th 6 BC. He was killed at the age of about 33 and 1/3 years old. So when the church started, Acts 2, it was AD not BC. When the assyrians were destroyed, there were no christians. because Jesus the promised jewish Messiah wasn't even on the scene yet. So Christianity back in that time is impossible. The first christians if you've read the bible were first jews. (Acts 2). when the holy spirit descended from heaven and what looked like tongues of fire rested upon all the believers. cloven tongues it says. So in the times of the Assyrians, were two kinds of peoples,; Jews and Gentiles.. no christians. At any rate, I wish you all blessed days today and joy in your lives. I'm still confused how you think that the terrorists were direct descendants of the Assyrians? You keep avoiding that question.\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if that is your belief... didn't mean to miss your question. First Adam and Eve had 2 sons, cain and abel. Abel offered his first and best lamb as a sacrifice to HaShem whereas Cain cain offered an offering of vegetables. it wasn't even the best of his crop but of the land and HaShem found favor of Abels scarifice. Cain gets jealous, kills abel then Eve has another son, Seth. Cain and his offspring were cursed but HaShem warned about harming Cain and put a mark on him for protection. so as cains offspring expand and multiply, they become more evil and eventually intermingle with Seths offspring and then we end up with HaShem destroying man and his creation in Genesis 6. the only one who honored HaShem, lived a GOD filled life, was Noah from the line of Seth.. and we know what happened with the flood, Noah and his sons and their wives being spared, the FIRST act of salvation recoded in the bible. I can get deeper into that but, that would be a tremendous undertaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just can seem to understand the stores of the bible where used to teach morals in ancient times ,and that they weren't meant to be taken literally GOD allowed for sin for a time. Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. So eventually HaShem did give the jews the law which therefore meant that no longer was HaShem allowing for sin to go unchecked. you might be thinking, that was the jews. But the plan HaShem had was for the jews to receive salvation through the Messiah and then take the gospel to the gentiles. however, the jews did NOT believe in Jesus, the Messiah and he took the gospel to the gentiles. So the LORD sent the gospel unto the gentiles https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+28%3A27-29&version=KJV HaShem if a generation ignores or denies him, he will skip over that generation and go to the next, which is why the jews wandered 40 years into the wilderness until that lost generation passed for the new to take charge. So in this case HaShem went further and brought the gospel directly to the gentiles. HaShem will graft a generation of Jews back into the vine with christians https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+11%3A17-20&version=KJV and Christians are supposed to not get arrogant in thinking the jews are done. some churches teach replacement theology but HaShem will graft the jews back into the vine with his church(Christians) as one family under HaShem Edited September 5, 2015 by chrisj1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
