The More I Learn About The Bible, The More Amazed I Am.

[Theland]

Atheists read the Bible and find plenty to criticise it.
However it so cleverly written, that there are levels of understanding at so many levels in even the most simple texts.
Many texts have been misunderstood for years until contemporary events have unlocked them.
This is worth more than instant dismissal by atheists.
Open minds?
Evidence?
We have an Internet capable of satisfying all of our enquirers.
Give it a go?

[Theland]

Not offended by the way.
Delighted to discuss.
Two way respect and good manners.
Thank you.

It's been translated many times - Chinese whispers?
If you don't have archaic Greek and Aramaic, you're getting other peoples' biassed inerpretations, perhaps?

[Theland]

V - Simply not true mate.
Based on scripture, and science, the universe is not eternal. God is.
God is non material, non physical, but Spirit.
His Creation was created WITHIN Himself, God permeates every atom and sub atomic particle in the universe.
He created everything and wrote the laws for His Creation to obey.
We don't know enough about quantum theory yet, but the photon is a good candidate as the most fundamental particle, "And God said, Let there be light!"

Hmm! Something to at least consider.

I went to a nun school run all my school days. My belief of the Bible is gave us a set of ethics, nothing more.

Here we have Khandro talking about gods created by atheists and Theland telling us that his supposed creator of the universe is fact. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

[Atheist]

Khandro, Theland. Why on earth do you accuse me of inventing god? It's you who invent god, in your own image. I don't think that god exists. You seem to be living in a fantasy world of your own invention; you never answer straight questions, just trot out the same repetitious unsupported stuff - the bible is true, the koran is rubbish, etc etc.

[Theland]

Atheist - Rubbish in your expert opinion then?

Any theories of your own by the way?

[naomi24]

Theland, you consistently tell anyone who disagrees with you they're talking rubbish but never explain why. Why is that?

[Theland]

Do I really?

[naomi24]

Yes.

[Zacs-Master]

Why do you waste your time, N?

[Theland]

If I have been unintentionally offensive to anybody I apologise.

[Zacs-Master]

Awww, gawd. Here we go with the falsely self-deprecating, trite apology.

[naomi24]

Z, I don't consider amusement to be a waste of time. I like repeats of Morecambe & Wise too - especially with their very own Mr Preview...

[Theland]

Zacs - What would satisfy you? You ever content?

[Zacs-Master]

Talking of which.......I was at my mum’s today looking thru a few old photos and she pulled out an A1 size poster of M&W signed by them! How much must that be worth?!

[Theland]

There we have it. Mother Superior being, erm, superior.

[naomi24]

//There we have it. Mother Superior being, erm, superior. //

Hmmmm.... I guess the apology for being unintentionally offensive doesn't cover the intentional offence.

[Theland]

You offended at that?
Never knew you were so fragile.

[Zacs-Master]

What would satisfy me would be an admission that you’re just as baffled at the reason we all exist as the rest of us. Scientists and Papal dignitaries alike.
