Religion and rituality

BWS Wrote:My logic process turned that up. I also showed how I worked that out. "You hastily decided [those without reasonable access to the Bible] are unrighteous." This fact I pointed out leaves one of two options: 1. You know something that we don't or 2. You are actually ignorant of what these people believe or don't believe, which makes you a bigot towards them.

You logic is flawed, I decided those without access to the Bible were not Christians for the most part, you have jumped to your own biased opinion of what I said. We were discussing getting answers from
God through scripture, those who look for answers from God are those who believe in Him as their savior, I never challenged anyone's righteousness.

BWS Wrote:The statistics they're using are not just from their own organization. They're taking into account all the other translations by other organizations in the world. They may be a bunch of Bible thumpers, but they weren't idiotic when gathering those stats.

Agreed, however they do not take into account everyone that supplies those Bibles or where they go. They track sales and not necessarily destination.

BWS Wrote:Don't presume to think that I would deny any piece of literature to the world, even if it was the Bible. If I denied access to literature that I didn't believe in, then I suppose I would therefore need to include other books on my ban list, such as "The Once and Future King" (The Arthurian Legend), "The Epic of Gilgamesh" (quite an interesting flood account in that one) and "Mythology" (a collection of Greek myths and legends).

No, GC. I want people to read the Bible, just like I want them to read the Book of Mormon and Al-Quran. I want them to start in Genesis, and read it with the same eye of scrutiny that they would use when reading about Norse mythology and Ancient Egyptian religion. I think the Bible is a useful piece of literature, and it shouldn't be denied to anyone.

Really, why then do you call those who read the Bible delusional and the Bible a fairy tale. You also said above you want people to read the Bible in a way that you think is appropriate, see bold above. Your description of scriptures in other post lead me to believe that your statement that scripture is useful is not the way you really believe.

BWS Wrote:Then your blathering is useless, especially since you're not supposed to preach on these forums.

I'm not preaching here, if I were the Moderators would warn me. If I start to preach you'll know it. Why I'm here is not really your concern it's mine, besides I've explained my reason many times, I get tired of repeating it and then told that is not my reason.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
