 Quote From: mommyjenna Well guess what. Despite what you may think we don't hate gay people at all. I don't know how to convince you of that. I'll state it again. Who am I to say that homosexuality is right, when God makes it pretty clear that it is not right? I would love to condone the lifestyle and the people but I didn't make the rules. God made them and I trust Him and trust that He know better. Yes, human hands wrote the Bible. God gave them the words and they wrote. The stories aren't older than Judaism because the first writer was Jewish. You're right about the telephone game. Word of mouth is never going to be accurate. However, the Jews wrote the words down and guarded the scriptures with extreme care. They copied them meticulously and we have archaeology, including the dead sea scrolls to prove that they couldn't be more accurate. About Jesus and the apostles and what they wrote. Only you can decide whether or not what they wrote was truth or lies. Keep in mind they all were martyred for their beliefs. Also keep in mind, before Jesus ressurrection, they were regular men with many doubts. After the ressurrection, they became witnesses that regularly went to jail, knowing their fate would eventually would be death. So you have to decide. Was Jesus the greatest liar that ever lived, or was He the son of God? Now we all know that Hitler spewed out lies and brainwashed a nation. An entire nation CAN be brainwashed . Do you agree? I would not believe someone who said they were the son of God, (like David Koresh) because God only sent one son. Before his arrival, there were hundreds of prophesies surrounding this event. People knew where he would be born and the 70 year span in history when it would happen. God certainly never fortold of another 'son' of God coming. I would urge you not to just 'think' about God. Read the book. Talk to Him. Be honest with Him about everything. You say: "Who am I to say that homosexuality is right, when God makes it pretty clear that it is not right?
with that sentence you say I don't have to think about the issue. It was god's choice so I'll defend it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY don't hide behind religion.
About those stories yes they are older then judaïsm some date back to the times of babylon and the ancient egyptions.
And about jesus those stories where actually written down centuries after he lived hence my story about the gossip And to support this why is it told he lives around 0 AD while most scientist think he lived around 30 AD or how come that cristmas, the birth of christ falls together with a paigan fest (celebrating the return of the light if I'm not mistaken but could be wrong.) And that many christian fests fall together with a paigan celebration. It wasn't because it actually happened there but it was because they wanted to "kill" the paigan believe system.
Yes but Can an entire world I ask (wether it is Judaïsm Islam or Cristianity) because whatever you believe the "others" have it wrong so they where in effect brainwashed by the devil or what you want to believe.
And a holy book can be interpreted in many different ways so let's take a step back and look at the Koran for instance. In the koran it says woman should cover their body well no it says they should cover their hair mouth and nose well no it says they should cover their hair well no it says that women look better if they cover their hair and some say that even that cannot be read in the Koran so it's all about interpretation.
In the netherlands there was a row within the church because a priest said that homosexuality was a disease. The other priests corrected him, in the Netherlands the priests say homosexuals do have a place in the world according to god. They also defend the use of condoms. So they just interprit the teksts differently and according to what the current modern society needs.
And you ask sort of why I don't believe in god well for one i find my religion in adifferent form of religion wich doesn'tinvolve a god after life or what ever my reasons are simple.
I was raised as a roman catholic yet as I grew up I saw that science has pretty much taken down many thruths in the bible.
The vatican does not want to change it's view and erodes the bible even further
I disagree with many of the vaticans views
The vtican has been for centuries about might and money instead of god and you are all using the bible which has been kept by this institution for many centuries.
I do not believe god would let us go ahead and kill his creation (global warming, extinction of species ect.)
I do not believe I want to worship a god who does not settle the dispute on which religion is the true one
I do not believe a god would let the distinction of rich and poor continue
I do not believe a god tkaes away mothers and fathers from their young children.
I rather believe that their isn't a god then to believe their is a cruel one. |
