| MuslimAmerican User ID: 26542172 02/22/2013 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Bible is primarily the word of man, though some of the original divinely revealed messages are retained within the old testament. There are passages within the Bible warning readers of it's corruption, for example Jeremiah 8:8. Most of this corruption was on the part of the Romans, others because of false prophets like Paul. Feed the hungry, visit the sick, free a captive if he be unjustly confined(kidnapped/enslaved by someone). Assist any person oppressed, whether they're of the Muslim or non-Muslim. - Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) |

There are multiple words within the Word. Semantics. God's Word is the only absolute truth on this earth. I cling to it and I am not ashamed. Jesus is LORD! However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" - I Cor. 2:9 "...those seeking liberty resolve to serve no more, and … are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces." - Etienne de la Boetie |

Jesus is LORD! this statement is a statement of belief and supporting it based on your tools. Does not make it false. everybody thinks the same way about whatever they have INVESTED in. You are correct about multiple words within it though. That is why I encourage people to use concordances, dictionaries and try and go thru lining up what you've been told vs what the languages and dialects of greek and hebrew have to say. I don't know very many people who have even tried to do so. So I cannot speak on the validity of their experience and beliefs- they are personal and nobody can prove to you anything besides you first. It's just how it works I am glad that you found what you feel is your truth. One should not be ashamed of things they feel are true.

Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life." (Jn. 5:37-40) This is because Jesus was still alive. He had to die for the Holy Spirit to enter his followers. There is this Gospel which is soon to be fufiled and then there is the everlasting gospel that is yet to come down from Heaven. Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in midheaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people, |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 8407446 02/22/2013 11:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You Christians, are missing the point. Plus IF you would read the post, you would see their is no attempt to do damage to the scriptures. What I am saying is "THE Scriptures" and "The Word" are TWO different things. The bible even states so. The word came to peter and said "Peter rise and eat"... The word also came to Jeremiah, as a WORD from the Lord. You are NOT seeing the difference and are missing out on the other side of the coin. IF I believed as you do, then we would all be believing that the bible is the last word, and God is now Deaf and Dumb. Is that what you are saying? Now all you anti-bible people, still have not explained the hundreds of prophetic verses about Jesus. Hey... I think you should read it. God can make it alive to you. I am not against the scriptures. I love to read them... It's just that they are not the word of God. They contain the words of God, spoken in the past. Plus don't forget prophecies in the scriptures and those that pertain to the last days. I'm not going to lie, I just had the sudden urge to read as much of the Bible as I can lol. I've been through the Bible, but I dont truly KNOW it... Thank you for this :) |

Your not intelligent enough to read it?? Here, an excerpt for you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Luke 24 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,yet you refuse to come to me to have life. (John 5:40) These are the Scriptures that testify about me,yet you refuse to come to me to have life. John 5:40 But since you do not believe what Moses wrote, how are you going to believe what I say? John 5:47 |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34998492 02/23/2013 07:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its a History Book His-Story (Christ and Earth's) The Pharisees did read the scriptures but they misapplied them, Back then they expected a King to Come and Set them up as being better than the rest of the world... Christ came and He wasn't what they expected They expected Heavenly & physical prosperity then and there Which is what has happened today with most of Christianity they expect a King to come and guide them soon, unfortunately that King will be Lucifer, who may or may not offer them their hearts desires, many have already turned their backs on God's Law (Satan's plan) Personally I Believe the Bible has a lot of wisdom in it, not all Bibles are Built the same though, my simply test is this: how many people died for whichever version Bible? Find the Bible that people where killed for the Most and stick with that one, today's Bibles are missing whole verse's and they generally attack the deity of Christ, some of them are even produced on the same machines that make pornography and The Satanic Bible Ex The NIV which is way thinner than say a KJV. |
