The frustration comes in though with her obvious cop outs whenever we reach a certain point.
Heres an example:
while discussing all of the horrible passages in the old testament about killing children who talk back and burning alive adulterers and how it is okay to rape a female if you marry her later, she said something like: 'yeah but that's just the old testament. We no longer have to follow that. That's why god wrote the new testament.'
Then I showed her the new testament passage saying we still have to follow all of the old testament.
Her answer?
"I don't have all the answers."
Another favorite cop-outof hers is: "only God knows the answer to this".
We were talking about Genesis, she believes that in chapter 6 it says that god's angels lusted after and made babies with human females. This resulted in evil giants being born which is why God had to destroy everyone with a flood. She seriously believes that.
I was raised a lutheran and I was never taught about evil mutant angel giants. has anyone else heard of this??
It's in there....
Quote:6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Ask her where Cain got his wife from?
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
