The truth is that they know deep down that they DO NOT have the powers to cast out devils, or heal people with a touch, or drink poisonus things and live. In fact they try to water them down. They try to question out of existence the obvious and simple context right in front of them. If it were any other verse, like this one:
I don't think that's at all a common set of beliefs, most of them concede that a great deal of superstition worked it's way into the bible, I just go one step further and declare it all nonsense

Quote:..lets completely forget that John 3:16 is dead WRONG when it comes to the entire context of the bible.
..flat out says that god has many sons. So that either makes God a LIAR in the bible, or it means falable humans were speaking for this god, making shit up, etc..
I've used this line of reasoning before, not quite in the same way, but to defend the position that Jesus never claimed divinity and was much more of a loony preacher who thought the sky was going to fall down. It fits nicely with all of the Davidic descendents also being called "Son of Man" or "Son of God", which supposedly just meant "Royal" before the Christians claimed it not only exclusively for Jesus, but gave it some divine connotations.
Quote:Godschild would say that I was twisting scripture, that Jesus was gods only begotten son, while the others were just his sons.
Sure, but Godschild has lots of stupid beleifs

Quote:What did God do? Find a few hundred baby angels on his doorstep and adopt them as his sons? Where did they come from? I dont know...but god couldnt of created them because then they would have been "begotten sons".
Lol!
I suppose back in the day ever woman was visited by an Angel who informed them of their pregnancy too, after all, God had to do something to make up for the lack of Pregnancy Testing Kits.
Quote:Byt the way, love the genesis verse. Remember it. When Christians say it was "the sins of man" that caused the flood, be sure to tell them they are DEAD WRONG. It was the SONS of god who came down to rape human females, and the GRAND CHILDREN OF GOD who pissed god off. Gods sons were wicked, and gods grandchildren were wicked (are you suprised?)
Nope, anyone who shares an ancestral link with YHWH is likely to be a tyrannical monster, just look at his track record.
Quote:So what did god do? He declared mortal men to be evil because of this (?????? fucking idiot tyrant god) and killed EVERYONE (including unborn babies that had NOTHING to do with gods disfunctional family) except 6 or so hebrews.
So that pretty much means everyone on Earth is a Hebrew.
It would seem so, though you couldn't tell by my nose or my bank account...
Quote:How do you like that "Oh, by the way, there were giants in the Earth back then..but enough about that insignificant detail, lets get on with the angel/mortal fucking and the blood thirsty carnage afterwards!!!"
*Thumbs up if you like my rantings*
Don't forget the bears he sent to rip small children limb from limb!

And we believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
That's rather confusing, can you sum it up in a point by point? So far I have.
1. Trinity
2. Death and Resurrection
3. Jesus will return to judge us (Any day now...)
4. Baptism (That of Jesus or the Christian?)
5. Life after death
Anything I missed?
