(Can only pick one) Anyone? The bible says it is allegorical Galatians 4:22-26 Nothing in that verse suggests that the whole book is one... Even if it did, it's illogical to prove a book with content inside of it. Oh I expected that kind of response. So, here goes: SYMBOLIC NOT LITERAL 1 - All of Jesus’ words were symbolic. There was nothing to be taken literally. * All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them: Matthew 13:34 2 - Here you are being told as clearly as possible that you should not take the scriptures literally. * Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6 3 - The Bible is telling us that you must begin to understand, not with the brain, but with the heart, or the Spirit. Dark sayings of old are simply words that have Hidden Meanings. * - I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Psalms 78:2 4 – The text was written almost 2000 years ago and they are talking about dark sayings “of old.” * - To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. Proverbs 1:6 5 – The Bible tells you right straight to your face that the stories are allegory!! * - Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. Galatians 4:24 (This is the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar/Agar) 6 - The Bible itself makes it very clear to us that these things are not to be taken literal. * - But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:29 7 – The “Temple” has nothing to do with a physical building. *- Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Acts 7:48 * - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 8 - This verse explains that "Sodom" and "Egypt" are not physical places, but are allegories meaning they are spiritual in nature and it refutes the whole of the Gospel accounts of a physical crucifixion of the man Jesus in Jerusalem. * - "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the city which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." Revelation 11:8 9 – We’re told to serve in the Spirit and not in the “letter” (written words). * – “We should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter." Romans 7:6 10 - Here it says god ordained the hidden wisdom, even before the world. * - But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory. 1 Corinthians 2:7 11 – God orders riddles. * - Son of man put forth a riddle and speak a parable unto the house of Israel. Ezek. 17:2 12 - And here it's God's honour to conceal things, and make you figure it out. * - It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but honour of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25: 13 – Jesus says we do not know the scriptures and are in error. * - "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God." Matthew 22:29 beebee |

Matthew 22:29 Cool, that just reinforces my theory of it being another filosophy book. “The living being had no need of eyes because there was nothing outside of him to be seen; nor of ears because there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which he might receive his food or get rid of what he had already digested, since there was nothing which went from him or came into him: for there was nothing beside him. Of design he created thus; his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself. For the Creator conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as he had no need to take anything or defend himself against any one, the Creator did not think it necessary to bestow upon him hands: nor had he any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to his spherical form which was designed by him, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and he was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within his own limits revolving in a circle. All the other six motions were taken away from him, and he was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet.” -Plato |

If the scripture is full of lies, we are all doomed to annihilation...what self respecting atheist WANTS that? If you think you do...you're a fool, and what would be the point? That is the very definition of hopelessness.... Would you tell your dying child, that it's lights out, when they pass away? The scripture, at least, gives us hope; otherwise, this is as good as gets. Only George Clooney, and Tom Cruze get to enjoy, as for the rest of us...oh well!!!! Tom has bought into a false religion created by a man who was quoted as saying, "if you want to get rich, create your own religion." If you think you're all knowing, then continue to reject Christ. If you doubt that...I beseech you to take a leap of faith, and avoid dying in your sins. ACCEPT CHRIST!!!!!! Way smarter men than you and I ascribe themselves to the truth of Christ... |

Truthseeker007 User ID: 33723834 United States 11/17/2013 03:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mythology is a tale, usually a religious tale, most likely fiction, created possibly using ancient historical events, persons and settings for the story background. It would equate to what publishers today call historical romance. That said the Bible is, for the most part, mythology, (i.e. fairy tales, fiction, allegories, parables, folk lore) Parables are fiction stories with hidden meanings, just like Aesop’s Fables. Allegories too, are fiction stories with deeper meanings. Matthew 13:34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: From the mouth of the Christian God, He says he would not speak except through parables, (Fables with a hidden moral to the story). I could end this chapter here and now, for my point is proven by the words of Jesus Himself! Matthew 13:36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. Mark 4:10. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. Mark 4:13. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? John 10:6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Luke 19:11. And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. These verses prove that Jesus’ followers and disciples didn’t even understand the fables! (parables) Reading the last verse again: “because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.” This is proof these disciples understood very little of Jesus’ teachings! The verse reminds me of today’s Christian Foghorns, that keep saying Jesus is coming!, apocalypse now! the end is near! So we have Jesus himself telling fiction stories, that veiled hidden meanings, with his disciples that understood not what he was saying. Luke 6:39. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? This verse from Luke is a parable that certainly describes the Foghorns of the Christian church. The latest version of Christian Foghorns is that of Creationists, who venture to declare that the word of God is the history of Creation! They have been forced to admit the existence of dinosaurs roaming on the earth. So with their magic wand of Biblical corruption, they simply declare that mankind walked hand and hand with the dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden. This is mythology created by Christian charlatans. There are some archeological finds that hint that ‘some’ dinosaurs ‘might’ have coexisted with man in time eons ago. But Creationist Mythologists also say this all started in the year 4004 BC. |

He will. In reality, there is no such being as Satan. It is simply a creation of man, and the energies associated with this as being created as the movement grows and the creation of such energies as a personification of such energies. Originally, Satan was nothing other than the planet Saturn in an astrological quality. It was the Egyptian Set, the Egyptian God known as Set, which represented Satan or Saturn; the Persians, instead of calling it Saturn or set, called the planet Satan, and personified the planet as though it were a person. The Persians(Zoroastrianism) were the first to invent the personification of that which was called Satan. Later, the time being in approximately the mid part of the Christian Age, Western mystics, in studying various religions, latched on to the Persian teachings of Satan and brought into the Christian religion. Prior to that there was no Satan. It then led to modification in the biblical texts, and let to various types of change in the scriptures and attitudes and terminologies used in the teachings, so that instead of Saturn or Set, the terms for Satan became as though the entity were a person; that in this manner, a force was personified. |

You can force people to act and say what you like but you can never control what they think. I can hide what I think and it matters little what you make me say. I hope you enjoy and love your belief. I am not a believer but I would never hurt anything or anyone on purpose. I would never and have never stolen anything from anyone. Today some Christian posted he was trying to save people and others would be glad if he stopped the unbelievers from stealing. Stereotype much? I don't believe therefore I do what I like? Yes I do. What I like is not hurting another human or animal if I can help it. That includes lying to them, being unfaithful,being cruel and stealing from them. I don't need rules to tell me that is wrong. |
