    // It's not a matter of the Bible "lying," Barry// That wasn't my point . I believe that the bible comes from God , it is true and God cannot lie ..Thats how I approach the bible .

    "What Jesus REALLY meant was ...."

    It's not a matter of the Bible "lying," Barry. The fact of the matter is that any time human beings are a part of the recording, preserving, transcribing and translating process of any written document, there is a potential of error. And to just pretend otherwise is really pretty naive...

    Was the Bible accurately preserved?

    Most Christians have very limited knowledge of how the Bible they believe to be "complete and infallible" ever came to exist in the first place. For example... A list of the books comprising the "Christian" canon was compiled in Rome just prior to 200 A.D. This list was discovered in 1740 in...

    What happened to Christianity?

    Antiochus the Great transported 2,000 Jewish families to Phrygia from Babylonia. Many of Laodicea's inhabitants were Jews, and Cicero records that Flaccus confiscated the considerable sum of 9 kilograms (20 lb) of gold which was being sent annually to Jerusalem for the Temple (Pro Flacco 28-68)...

    The bible is the inspired word of God, as such it is infallable.

    The Bible doesn't even claim to be infallible, Richard. That's just you talking, and it appears as if you're in over your head. When the flaws in your reasoning were pointed out to you on another thread you started, you had no response except to say that everyone was wrong but you. Now you've...

    Why Do Theists Believe In God?

    I'm not sure that even the Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew scriptures would be inerrant, unless they were the original manuscripts, which they are not. Nor am I. But that's not my concern. This is: A list of the books comprising the "Christian" canon was compiled in Rome just prior to 200 A.D...

    Banned Mormon Cartoon

    Let's take a brief look at the evolution of the biblical canon. In 1740, a list of the canonical books compiled in Rome just prior to 200 A.D. was discovered in the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy. Missing from the Accepted canon in 200 A.D. were Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. Only two...

    Christians: How do you know which books of the bible are "inspired?"

    Let's take a brief look at the evolution of the biblical canon.

    Why can nothing be added to the Bible?

    Super response.

    Why can nothing be added to the Bible?

    Well, let's take a brief look at the evolution of the biblical canon. In 1740, a list of the canonical books compiled in Rome just prior to 200 A.D. was discovered in the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy. Missing from the accepted canon in 200 A.D. were Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. Only...

    If you don't trust the Catholic Church, why do you trust the Bible?

    Regarding the actual NAME by which the early Church/Churches of Jesus Christ were known. It is probably obvious to readers that the earliest churches were not known as the Catholic Church nor did a specific congregation change “places” and thus changing names with it’s locale. The “Church in...

    New Testament

    Chur, a few kiwis on here I see. ;) I think the best place to start finding the answers is within the New Testament itself. And I think a good study of the Acts of the Apostles is a good place to start. It kinda fills us in on the many problems the Apostles and early disciples in Christ were...

    Sola-Scriptura destroys itself!

    Only a little sarcasm, the points were accurate. As I pointed out elsewhere, the word canon comes from he Greek kanwn and the Hebrew qaneh. It literally means (a) a straight rod or bar (b) a measuring rule as used by masons and carpenters (C) a rule or standard for...

    Sola-Scriptura destroys itself!

    You're wrong about that. In 1740, a list of the canonical books compiled in Rome just prior to 200 A.D. was discovered in the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy. Missing from the accepted canon in 200 A.D. were Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. Only two of John's letters were considered...

    Salvation in the scriptures, the born again movement

    The book of Mormon came by a similar enlightenment as Islam and the Qran. Both came by a claim of a visit by an angel of light and both contract the Bible in its total context. 2 Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. As for Catholicism, that was a...

    Salvation in the scriptures, the born again movement

    I do not have disgust for you personally. You are not my enemy. I have disgust for Mormonism because I consider it a false religion, because much of its teachings are contrary to what the Bible teaches. Keep in mind that Jesus had contempt for the false teahing os teh Pharisees and the...

    Salvation in the scriptures, the born again movement

    Omega, why do you always seem so angry? I just don't understand the level of contempt I feel from you. This is a serious question. I don't understand this seething disgust for anyone who sees things differently from you. Could you maybe explain why this is? I've never given the Book of...

    Is the Bible too Contradictory for All of it to be True?

    I never answer post that long. I will only address your last remark. Most of Paul's writings are not about defending his positions. The great majority is teaching the basics of Christianity, from which conservative Christianity gets many of its basic doctrines. With all of you books...

    Is the Bible too Contradictory for All of it to be True?

    Your argument here only works if we have both Luke and Matthew. If they were purposely created in order to compliment each other. That's not the case. Matthew and Luke were written for different audiences. More so, they weren't always agreed upon. Some early canons had one or the other, or even...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thanks Katz, I always enjoy reading your responses! I wish I could have yours and Jane's confidence that there was indeed an apostasy!
