For over 40 years I have played the organ for nearly every major Protestant denomination - variations of Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Evangelical, Quaker, 1st Bible, Holiness, Quaker . . . also Unitarian, Anglican, Episcopal, and I'm currently playing for Catholic Mass. It's really too bad that all of these folks are reading from the same book, but most will accuse the others of "doing it wrong" or "false interpretation of the scriptures" etc., etc.*emphasis mine*
When you talk about what God wants to someone who doesn't believe such a creature exists, the burden is upon you to prove it's existence. It should be quite obvious that statements like "God will never allow such a rewriting of His loving plan" is beyond absurd . . . yeah, Superman was really ticked off when they changed his costume and then reported that he had died! But then the holy comics posted that he was resurrected, hallelujah! I'm going to go pray to him that you accept the truth so you won't miss out on Paradise!
There is no afterlife. There is no god, no angels, no demons, no Satan, no ghosts, no zombies, no sparkly vampires, and no Santa Claus.
This is simply wrong, the Catholics use a bible with 7 added extra books, while the Evangelicals only have the New Testament in their bible, with the exception of Psalms. So you really just proved GC's point.
LOL. That’s her whole point though, isn’t it? You would think that the book would be the same no matter which denomination you happen to prefer, especially considering it allegedly contains god’s unchanging, infallible Word. It’s not Fuzzy’s fault that Christians can’t even agree on what constitutes ‘The Bible’.
