Christians think I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing because I'm not judgmental enough

[quote:Anonymous Coward 8788578:MV8xODY1MzMxXzMxMTE1MDcwXzk5QjFENjU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 720033:MV8xODY1MzMxXzMxMTE1MDIyX0FDODQzM0U=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 8788578:MV8xODY1MzMxXzMxMTE0OTgxX0RFNDNBNkU0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 720033:MV8xODY1MzMxXzMxMTE0OTIzX0NBQTIyRjQy] And here is a prime example of you taking the Word of God and making it the way you want it be, instead of what it actually says. [/quote] So if a book says "bible" on the cover, I should simply read it and incorporate into my beliefs what it appears to say, and [u]not[/u] look any deeper than what's on the page in front of me, [u]not[/u] invite the Author to oversee my understanding, and [u]not[/u] consider other factors, such as the customs of the days and lands in which the texts were initially issued? [/quote] Now you are grasping at straws and detracts from the Truth as plainly stated. We are not talking about a book that has "bible" on the cover. EVERY TRANSLATION has the same CONTEXT of what is being said in the verses pointed out. Even the CHURCH today believes this, but alas you deny the Church as well do you not? Yes I remember you now. I remember you very well. [/quote] OK, let's narrow it down the the King James Bible. Should I simply read it and incorporate into my beliefs what it appears to say (incluging Jesus saying "thee" and "thou" and "like unto"), and [u]not[/u] look any deeper than what's on the page in front of me, [u]not[/u] invite the Author to oversee my understanding, and [u]not[/u] consider other factors, such as the customs of the days and lands in which the texts were initially issued? Honest questions. Teach me your ways. [/quote]
