This Is A Fair Question

[Haipule]

There are no contradictions in the bible. The bible says that all Scripture is God-breathed. As one who can translate the Greek, all the writers had their own style. The Greek of Mark is rough and simplistic. IOW's, the most uneducated. The writer of Hebrews was a genius. Paul is very practical. Peter is very colorful.

And that sort of fallacious circular logic does not bother you? Rhetorical question, no need to answer. Of course not, or else you wouldn't be a believer.

"The Bible is true because god says it is. Where does god say the Bible is true? In the Bible. And why do I believe the Bible? Because it says it is true in the Bible. And how do I know the Bible is true? Because it says it is 'God-breathed' in the Bible."

Simon, Simon, Simon:

I made two separate statements you turned into "circular reasoning". It's my fault. It wasn't what I meant. I'm sorry. I ain't no "believer" either. I trust God. I do not "believe". That's a bad translation. God NEVER asked me to believe in Him. He only asked me to trust Him. And this I have done which resulted in one of the most adventurous and successful lives I have ever seen!

My life has been so off the charts, I'm quite sure you would rather read about then live through it. But man am I having fun!

Oh but, that's just anecdotal. I, graduated from California public high school, in Surf City USA, a stupid surfer whom never rubbed two nickels together and called it a dime. Yet, I wish I had a dime for every dime I have! I also did not graduate from college--fuck school!

I gots my God-Father and I'm His little favorite! Man do we have some fun! I don't believe in the ridiculous idea of "grace" either. I'm special and I'm not talking short bus!

I am not puni wela but you have been fed some ho'opuni wela!

Am I a lifetime of genius, pure luck or, maybe just blessed as promised?! You can call me a genius if you want too!
