What's the point of this thread now?

MrPresident1:


I was thinking maybe God would just use this thread to open the eyes of just one more person.

starlingslimnet:
To what?

MrPresident1:

To the truth of what the Bible really is about.

starlingslimnet:
And that Truth is?

MrPresident1:


That the Bible is not a religious book, but the holy constitution of a country, a people.

MrPresident1:


That the Buybull is not a religious book, but the holy constitution of a country, a people.

How many countries are govern by Christian ideology of the bible (new testament)?not even the smallest country on the planet earth vatican city. Make any mistake of replacing objective constitutional laws with the crap in the new testament - grace and later judgement ( mosaic law is actually old fashion for chritians), then see what becomes of such country.

MrPresident1:


The Bible is the Old Testament, the Old Testament is where all the 'action' in the Bible is. The New Testament is made up of the Gospels and the Letters which were written to expound the laws in the Old Testament to the new converts and churches. The Church is not the building, the church is the mix of Jews and non-Jews, all waiting for the blessed appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since the original Jews are dispersed and assimilated among aboriginal groups around the world, it is more proper to say 'the Yoruba Church' or the 'Igbo Church' or the 'Hausa Church'.

You are running to old testament to make your point, when i talk about about the hideous content of the old testament liken slavery, genocide, and racism, by then you will refer to it as mosiac laws given to ancient jews.

truthman2012:
The OP is only seeking attention. He made no point at all.

MrPresident1:


What hideous contents do you speak about? Those you read by yourself and were able to situate in proper context?

Or the poorly digested and regurgitated thrash that is being continually served to you and your likes with purpose to[b] further dumb you down?[/b]

Is owing human as property good or bad?


Leviticus 25:44-46
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.




Ephesians 6:5
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.

johnydon22:
Old testament is the Jewish scripture called TENARKS..

Christianity borrowed and adopted it into their own book which comprises of the new testament too... And the compilation of all these books was called BIBLIA in greek meaning Books..

Bible is the Christian Book, Tenark separately is the jewish scripture..

MrPresident1:


Repent and forsake your sins, humble yourself, get a KJV Bible, pray to God for understanding, then start reading the Bible.

Only God can open your eyes, and He will only do that when you draw closer to Him.

jomoh:


Are saying Bible is not useful in the scheme of things in this present world?

menesheh:



Yes

jomoh:


So which book or books would you recommend one reads to be really closer to God

And what will be your convincing reason(s) for choosing the book or those books.

menesheh:





Straw-man-ism


You have to pick up a book on logic and critical thinking and start reading it in order to open your eyes on how to argue and also on how to think critically before accepting myth as fact. You need to read and understand such book before next you pick-up your KJV bible to avoid delusion.

Allah is not happy with you for abandoning his Quran and decided to read only the bible. Allah can open your eyez and he will only do that if you draw closer to him.

Krishna need you to humble yourself to him, get a Bhagavad Gita, pray to Krishan and start reading Bhagavad Gita in order to know him more.




I pity my people for delusional thinking.

menesheh:



Yes

Must you read a book to get closer to a god, before you can start living your life the way you want it. Life is too short to waste via ancient human created myth. The only opportunity you got out of trillions of spermatozoa in a pant of sperm scrambling to fertilize a single egg, you later won. Do the best you can to live a good life, enjoy whatever you long for, help your fellow in need, think for yourself. whenever it is for death, you die and leave space for others with similar opportunity.

You can read any book you feel like, don't worship any whatever book claiming supernatural causation, trying to compel you to prostrate yourself to a deity, obey certain laws, and act/behavior in certain ways. Read any possible book. Acquire maximum knowledge, then help humanity to advance. This is the only life we've got
