    Which Bible English translation do you prefer?

    I grew up reading the New International Version (NIV) most of my life, but in recent years I have started reading other translations like the New Living Translation (NLT) and the English Standard Version (ESV). Which English translations do you prefer, and what is your reason? Do you tend to...

    Who wants to talk about Satan?!

    Since I Can't post in the DIR I'll make a thread here. It's been a few years actually, I'm certain to meet many new people and I hope to encounter many of my old friends here. The literal translations of "Satan" mean "opposition" or "adversary". By this definition, any and all "God(s)" are...

    Muhammad and the Bible Proofs, an Islamic quandary

    In my search of faiths over the past years, I came across quite compelling thoughts that Muhammad is foretold of in the Bible. One would have to consider that if the Bible is to be seen as accurate with prophecy in the Abrahamic line, to have left out mentioning Muhammads Revelation, which had...

    God/Bible have flaws solved?

    God/Bible have flaws solved? I see that many people are quite hung up that their scripture should be flawless. Why? A): Hypothetical: Bible has no flaws, then it's easy to prove that God has flaws Bible states "God created man in His image" Man has flaws, makes errors. So God has flaws, makes...

    Bible and old age solved?

    We read in the Bible about Methuselah being like 1000 years old. True or Not? My Master declared that age has to do with breath. So if you control breath and breathe once a minute instead of 15 times then you can immensely extend life. Makes also sense to me, considering age/breath of animals...

    Science and the Bible

    'THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE DON'T COINCIDE!' Below are some reasons why I disagree with the statement above :) Share thoughts - be kind. EARTH'S SPHERICAL SHAPE (Isaiah 40:22)“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth” Discovery Claim: Pythagorus proposed that the Earth was round...

The things on this earth that can satisfy man, are almost endless, and the beauty about is is that we never tire of those things - They always seem fresh, and the experience always seem...

    What has been your experience?

    Share your experience. What has been your experience with the Bible? Has the Bible helped people, or hindered them - changed people for the better, or for the worst? My experience with the Bible, is that it has helped people in a major amount of ways, and changed people's lives for the better...

    Is it possible to proselytize from a place of humility?

    This question has developed over time via a rather large array of attempts made at my conversion that have never once seemed humble in origin to me. And I thought to start this thread today after a particularly interesting attempt at proselytizing that happened just yesterday as I was walking my...

    Bible claims/interpretations that don't make sense

    For starters the whole Noah story arc. If not taken literally what twisted message is it trying to convey? If you take it literally there is substantial evidence against it. For instance, if all mammals are descendants from who was on the ark, we would all be horribly inbred. I can concede that...

    Critical Thinking and Theism/Atheism

    Logic and the rest of critical thinking present information that is eternally true. Assuming an afterlife, then learning such information is far more important than learning information that just goes irrelevant or obsolete. Yet most theists, who supposedly believe in an afterlife, are less...

    Weird Sentence in the Bible?

    Hello y'all, I was just reading the bible again when I read something that I didn't remember seeing before. It said, "After the heavens have demised, and the devil takes the fallen crown of God, a new a new empire shall reign supreme, bathed in the sins of Hell." After reading this I...

    Can teachings of Jesus and Buddha be combined into book?

    Christianity seems to have become polarized. For example Christianity and science seem to be clashing; global warming being the most known example. There doesn't seem to be conflict with Buddhism and science with the dalia lama stating ''If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then...

    What is the Lake of Fire?

    For Christians who believe Hell only means death or the grave and not a place of torment, what do the biblical references for the Lake of Fire allude to? For Christians who believe hell is a place of torment and punishment, is the Lake of Fire Hell itself, or is it something else? What is...

    Why do Christians defend the horrendously brutal and genocidal God of the Old Testament?

    The god of the Old Testament is evil depraved and vicious demanding complete subjugation. Why do Christians even attempt to defend this, and then further say God is always good and righteous when in fact much of the Old Testament is choc full of God's actions and deeds that point to the...

    Before Adam and Eve sinned, what was outside of the Garden of Eden?

    Were there other people living outside the garden? A Barren Wasteland?

    I'm curious. If it wasn't for the Catholic Church's scribes......

    .... what would the Bible be like today? Supposing if there would be a Bible at all if the church hadn't recorded its passages?

    Should Scripture Be Taken Literally?

    I watched a debate between Richard Dawkins and Cardinal Pell last night in which Cardinal Pell professes that the Catholic Church views the story of the Garden of Eden as "...a beautiful, sophisticated, mythological account." and that "...it’s a religious story told for religious purposes."...
