What I give you is of little relevance. God asks you to love everyone from your heart.Tiberius said:You gave us the choice. Love OR Wisdom. Can we not have both with a loving God? If we do not have wisom, then aren't we ignorant?
Actually, I like it a great deal, and I've read it extensively. Your evaluation of my 'grasp' is simply worthless.sojourner said:If you don't like it, you don't have to read it. Perhaps, if you had a better grasp of the Bible and the precepts it stands for, you wouldn't be so quick to make disparaging and untoward remarks.

1 Corinthians 1:25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

The same could be said for your evaluation of his grasp.Your evaluation of my 'grasp' is simply worthless.
This sums it up for me. Things are the way they are for a purpose. I don't believe the Bible to be without error, but I do believe it to be that way for a purpose. I don't view passages that conflict with each other as contradictions. I view them as a different calling for different people. What is is good for one person may not be good for me and vice versa. That's why we have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide the humble on the path that God has chosen for them.And what is right for you might well not be right for me, God might give me a different insight then he gives you thus making my opinion different then your, but non of us are wrong if were enlightened from God.
Yes, you are missing something here. Again ...sojourner said:Yet you say,Jayhawkwer Soule said:Actually, I like it a great deal, and I've read it extensively. Your evaluation of my 'grasp' is simply worthless.
Maybe I'm missing something here. See your quotations highlighted in red. In one post, you disparage the Bible as "a shallow pretense." In the next post, you assert that you "like it a great deal." Why, if it's a shallow pretense, do you like it a great deal? Is it for the "entertainment value?"And you keep pretending it [the Bible] to be something that it is not. It's a shallow pretense.
... you keep pretending it [the Bible] to be something that it is not. It's a shallow pretense.The pretense I was referring to is yours.
