Please study the Bible very before you start misleading the public.

I would appreciate your mention when you are done, pls!

Just know that nothing you discover can change anything about the word of God!...

What matters is enlightening other about the word. According to the Bible, it's rewarding to convince people to be a Christian, so why can't you stop being dogmatic and enlightening people who don't believe about what does passages really mean

It's not about misleading anybody.
If you're sure of the truth, state it and lead the public

I'm not calling your linguistic prowess question but have you heard of contextual meaning?



You can't just pick a verse of the bible and deduce meaning from it. Also, you should remember that Bible was not originally written in English, it was translated to it. Pls, think about that

Good comment sir, can we all just revert back to using the Bible in it's original format. This translated stuff would have misled a lot of people

MasterKim:

Just being sarcastic
Bible is composed of plenty lies, they made their imaginary friend look evil
From Genesis to revelation there's no reasonable thing God did rather It all about killing killing and killing

What I said does not mean that the Bible is incomplete, abridge or inferior. I said that to open your eyes to what translation can do to written text. But then, word like that also abound in the Qur'an eg.

“When the sacred months have passed, then kill the Mushrikin wherever you find them. Capture them. Besiege them. Lie in wait for them in each and every ambush but if they repent, and perform the prayers, and give zacat then leave their way free.” 9:5


“When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks.” 47:4

“When your Lord revealed to the angels, ‘Truly I am with you. So, keep firm those who have believed. I will strike terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved. So, strike them at the necks and cut off their fingers.’” 8:12

“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has made one superior to the other and because they spend to support them from their means. Therefore, righteous women are obedient and they guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard. And, as to those women from whom you fear disobedience, give them a warning, send them to separate beds, and beat them.” 4:34

“Oh you who believe, fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you.” 9:123

If the Bible is just as bad as the Quran, then why are you a Christian?

Because I chose to be and owe you NO explanation

Your best defence for the atrocities in the Bible is "the Quran has stuff like that too". It really shows that you are victim of religious indoctrination and that you haven't put enough thought into your faith.
