Quote (Wakeup @ Mar. 19 2014,01:41)Colter.Have you read the book of Enoch?He was of the old world, before the jews.His testimony is in harmony with the bible.God did create Adam and Eve.There was a garden of Eden and Adam was put there.There was a serpent that tempted Eve.I am sure that Enoch has nothing to do with the jews.So you are falsly…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Mar. 18 2014,19:18)Colter.If the bible is corrupted.Why do you need that book as your back up?When the roots are corrupt the whole tree is corrupt.Why do you have to eat some of the fruits?Why can't the ub stand on its own feet?Same with the qur'an,and the mormons.The Holy bible does not quote nor depend, on any other books to…[Read more]

Many of the more backward looking concepts of God in the Bible were simply a reflection of the beliefs of the educated priest class who created the scripture. But because church government also created the false idea that God inspired what they wrote, believers are now left to clean up the insanity and justify what the vast majority of humanity…[Read more]

This is the problem with Bible worship, people will believe the most outrageous crap just because it's in the Bible.You CAN find a discussion and justification about slavery in Genesis, but oddly you won't find God claims to have written it. It is good for the world that Biblical literalist are a dwindling population.

I can explain it in very simple, common sense terms:God doesn’t change, mans understanding of God is what changes. This truth is reflected in the evolution of the scripture. Religion has no critically corrective process for that which was an accepted practice or belief in one age (to the extent that man understood God in that age) is preserved i…[Read more]

Yes, slavery is wrong but it was a common practice among the people who wrote the older Bible books about themselves. There are many atrocities in the Bible which the writer’s credit to God, but that doesn't mean that God condones them and he certainly didn't inspire that to be written, it means the proud authors were justifying the behavior of t…[Read more]
