Pope sends direct message to Ben

[ricketyclik]

Correct. It's all about faith. And the fact that empirically, the Bible has proven to be trustworthy where it can be tested. But of course, it's faith.

I don't have a problem with that, particularly when it is acknowledged as a belief rather than a fact.

[Nikolai]

Says who? The Bible, that's who. Can't you see a conundrum?

Written by humans, but stamped by God and to be followed.

Funny man. OT. GT is Norwegian short hand, I merely miswrote.

[kentonio]

GT is to be read in light of NT

Game of Thrones?

A Christian tries to follow Jesus. His words, his commandments, his will. We might not get it all right, but we try. You can't follow Jesus if you don't try to live after His commandments. Jesus is the Word of God in flesh, btw. The Bible is the Word of God too, and all in there is willed by Him. Written by humans, but stamped by God and to be followed. Following Christ is not a matter of choose and pick. All of NT is to be followed, GT is to be read in light of NT and the parts not fulfilled (like the laws for the Jews) to be listened to. All is a manifestation of God's message to us. Not all in the Bible is literal, the prophesies are full of images, Jesus spoke in parables. But they all contain God's truth.

Just pointing out that you're acting like an ass, and you seem willing to continue.

[Kidlicious]

No doubt, but far from all are literalists.

You're doing a good job at being an ass.

[ricketyclik]

Yeeeeeeaaaah. Um, Christians tend to like the Bible bud.

Star Wars is a fantasy. The Bible is a religious text. Care to make anymore asinine remarks?

The Force be with you my son.

[Sava]

the explanation to the question that nobody ****ing asked

[kentonio]

I fell out with Christianity when it turned out that Jesus force powers came from midichlorians.

I'm very pleased for you both that you have a deep, superior understanding of a work of fantasy.
