Christians: A Question

[Shell B]

Shame I don't have time to reply properly Shell. I'll do my best to get back afvter the weekend.

Take your time, Frods.

Yes human sacrifice - but you have to keep adding conditions that make it unnacceptable to followers. Our understanding is crystal clear on the matter, which is why we can pin you down all the time.

None of you have "pinned me down." I'm not adding any conditions. Please feel free to read back through my comments here. On this subject, the only thing I was searching for was "human sacrifice." This is what whatshisface was denying. That is all.

There are no Christians that don't believe in the trinity, EXCEPT if your definition of christianity iis different to the mainstream that we all accept. That's been defined enough times on here for you to know. Again, I think you're being deliberately provocative/ ie your understanding is aggravating it's so far out.

No, no, no. There are Christians who do not believe in the trinity. The only mainstream accepted belief for a person to be a Christian is belief in Christ and god. That's it. From there, you are motley crew. I'm not being provocative. If you are provoked, deal with it, bud. My understanding is deliberately literal. I take everything the Bible says literally. I take everything you all say literally so as to prevent confusion. It appears, and again, I am just being honest, that you all can only comprehend Christian doublespeak.

Taking excerpts from the english translated bible (I've not looked into your examples thoroughly) is pretty much guaranteed to have innacuracies. The meaning isn't impossible to eek out, and mostly it already is. Equally quoting one source as authoritative has to be ratified as authoritative by your opponent surely? Sure you can find all sorts of conflicting garbage. Atheism is a religion apparently. But I'd only keep telling you that to wind you up. I'd want to give you respect enough to consider what YOU are actually saying rather than the interwebs as a whole.

I haven't quoted anything as authoritative. I have only quoted the NIV. The rest was just me pointing out how silly interpretations are. At any rate, the translations are not perfect, but how is making up what you think it says going to make it any better? If you are not trying for a better translation, in other words, directly translating from the original text, than you are just interpreting it to say whatever suits.

Have a great weekend. You know I loves ya!

You too, Frods. Keep it fake. See what I did there?
