Hey Kittens,

Welcome, sorry I got here so late to say it. I hope you have a good time here, I found it pretty interesting. A lot like what I was expecting, but not totally. Please don't let the meaner ones bring you down, there are people like that everywhere. I am pleased to see your arrival, if only because you are already interesting. I also quite respect the people here when it comes to believing what they will.

I have read a lot of varied theology, but was raised in New York and North Carolina (strange mix), so the bible was always there. I also liked the other books that "didn't make it in the bible". The Thomesian tradition, the gnostic texts that have survived. I will try to think up a good question, and we can share interpretations. I love sharing interpretations of anything, it is a great learning tool.

Thank you for listening.

Take care yourself,
-Pip

Hello pippy, thank you for your kind post. It's nice to meet you. Im looking forward to disucssing whatever concerns or interest come up about the bible. I do not have the answers to everything and I will never claim I do and I dont think anyone ever will. But I belive that if the bible does not make sense to us then its obvious that our understanding is incorrect. so now im gonna try to asnwer as best I can two questions that was asked of me. Again nice to meet you.

The ball is in your court then.

First task.

Please prove that the bible is true. And if you can do that I'll be the first to admit that I have been wrong.

Hello all,
Well its me again lol. I have only a few things to say concerning if the bible is real or a fairy tale. It is almost as hard to prove it is real as it is to prove it isn't real.

1. People believed the world was flat. The bible says the world is round (Isa 40:22) or circle of the earth. then comes columbus who discovered the world was round. His discovery agreed with the bible making the bible true in scripture.

2. There has been many efforts to outlaw, burn/destroy the bible. All failed. Scripture reads, Isa 46:10 says my counsel shall stand and Isa 40:08 says the grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of God stands forever. and Prov 19:21 says, many plans are in the man's heart but the counsel of the lord will stand. there are other verses as well saying his counsel will stand. Now the bible must be correct and true since all the attempts to get rid of the bible has failed over and over agian.

3. The bible states in romans 8:7 that the human mind is hostile against God. now is the bible correct? lets see. well, not to offend anyone here but how many atheist exist? since we have atheist all over, this would make the bible correct. Even people that claim to be christians foresake God when angry. I did when I had a miscarriage. and of course I aksed for forgiveness later. But if we were not hostile agaisnt God, then even the believers would never forsake him even when mad even if it is short lived.

4. Archaeological findings confirm exact details of histroical statements that fully support biblical scripture. 17,000 clay tablets dating from 2500 bc (before Christ) contain the oldest known creation accounts outside of the bible. Those clay tablets speak of one being who created the heavens, moon, starsand earth that is also spoke of in genesis in the bible.

I hope what l wrote , will atleast cause benefit of doubt.
