Re: How Can Anybody Take the Bible Verbatim???
How can anyone take the bible as the word of some god, whose history shows him to be the snowball effect of what we call sun worship?

The stupidity level of earlier humans can be (to a point) justified, however, we today should know better - and we don't.

You only prove yourself to be stupid by spouting zeitgeist material, more than 90% of the info they spout is FALSE, do some research yourself its all FALSE.

Right, because people who haven't left their brain at the door are somehow "swine".

Zeitgeist is just a very brief summary. If you want real research then read, Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection. Besides comparative religion has existed long before Zeitgeist.

Re: How Can Anybody Take the Bible Verbatim???
If you want to "grieve", grieve for us now because we are living in the end times

Matthew
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Yes, it's all there in Scripture. Great stuff.

People use the word "Christianity" in a very broad sort of a way.

The Vatican and the Pope claim to be "Christian", but that article clearly shows that NOT to be true.

If people are not reading the King James Bible, but only attending "mainstream 501c3 govt controlled Christian churches" with FALSE PREACHERS in the pulpit who are lying to them about what the Bible says, then those people are in serious peril.

And so I agree..... "mainstream Christian Inc." will not know what is happening.

The Bible is the book of the race of Adam. Gen 5:1

If you are not an Adamite there is nothing in there for you, stay out of it as you will not have the spirit to understand the mysteries that are written.

Re: How Can Anybody Take the Bible Verbatim???
What Christianity was originally and what it has become today are two entirely different animals.
 Quoting: Soultrain


Scripture * is * Jesus Christ in written form

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

.
 Quoting: Smith_and_Jones


' full of grace and truth.'

That about sums it up. No other bible than the King James Authorized is full of more truth. It literally 'checks out' in historical, archeological and self referentially. None of the others do.

And the KEY to the scriptures is GRACE.

And with the Law of Grace in effect, there is no more Mosaic Law.

Without wielding this KEY doctrine of grace, you have no business in the Old Testament. You will never find truth if you try to apply the Law of Moses.

The blood of Jesus handled that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1466944


The Law is still in effect

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Matthew
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Without the law, there is no need for people to repent and turn to Jesus.

The Law is still in effect.

Much of the bible requires the proper "interpretation" to be understood. The problem is no two people have exactly the same interpretation.

Ha Ha Ha..... YES!

Don't you agree it's true?

If not, what is true?

How do you know?

Do you have absolute proof that you know what's true or are you just using faith?

If you are just using faith, is it easier for you to have faith in what you believe than it is for a King James Bible believer?

Where did we come from?

Where are we going?

Why didn't the Romans just display Jesus' corpse and end Christianity at the very start?

Why does TIME revolve around the appearance of Jesus on Earth?

How many historians around the time of Jesus' crucifixion wrote about Him even though they were not Christians?

Re: How Can Anybody Take the Bible Verbatim???
Anyone who has even cursorily studied Hebrew knows that it is a fool's errand to interpret the bible literally.

The original language was meant to be carved in stone, which is why the characters vary in meaning depending upon the positioning of certain markers. If even a single marker was missed or omitted during translation from Aramaic Hebrew to modern, or from modern to Greek, etc, would result in massive alteration of the meaning of the text.
"People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better." ~ Ray Bradbury

I don't get it, as poster above said, there's lots of wisdom in the bible; the ten-commandments are probably the best starting points for any conversation about morality anyone could have, but there is so much of it that has been compiled with an agenda. It seems too that to be critical of it or question it, people get all bent out of shape. It's those people that just blindly follow it or any other religion or creed that make the world an insane place
 Quoting: Soultrain


Oh Dear....... when a person "picks and chooses" what to believe and what not do believe in the King James Bible, then they are making themselves god.

It's ALL or it's nothing, plain and simple. The Creator God preserved His Word in the King James Bible.

No need to be sorry. If that is what you truly believe, then sure, believe that.

You seem to forget the Satan factor in your "one type of Christianity" comment.

There is ONLY one type of Christianity, the rest are false.

Can't you apply what you are learning from the real world to your understanding about the King James Bible?

Paper money is not REAL. It's a complete hoax. Paper has NO value by itself. There is NOTHING of value behind paper money.

A photo of you is only a representation of YOU. You can burn that photo but you still exist. You could die, but your family could still have photos of you. There is ONLY ONE YOU. You are what's REAL. The photos are just copies of you and they can be distorted by anyone at any time.

TRUE Christianity is the same thing. People can make distorted copies of the real thing and they have.

You seem smart. Just ponder it for a while.

Now where did you hear that nonsense and why do you believe it?

The New Testament was written in Greek. Do people in Greece still speak and write Greek?

So where is the problem?

If a company in the USA is doing business with another company in a foreign land, don't they still communicate through interpreters?

How many interpreters does it take for a Chinese person to speak with an American? Does it take more than ONE translation?

Come on........ don't make this harder than it is. If you don't want to believe the King James Bible, then don't believe it, but don't make silly excuses.
