Isnt God kind of childish/egotistical?

[Mr Camel]

If God is Jesus and Jesus is God and God sent his son Jesus to die, then yes, he killed himself.

How did He kill Himself?

You tell me... though he IS God isn't he? Omnipotent and all...

Just because you reject God doesnt mean He rejects you.

What a silly thing to say...

If something was written in the 1980s and it was a secondary source of someones life back in the 1940s, we would say thats not very credible.

There's more to it... you wouldn't simply dismiss a source. You've got to study the author of that source before you determine how reliable it is. You've got to find out how the author got his sources.. If he cites nothing but word of mouth from generations and villagers, you wouldn't submit him as a reliable historian.

But Ancient history is different...

Only in the sense that the further back in time you go, the harder it is to verify a source.

I was telling my friend one day that the trinity makes sense and is completely illogical. He told me that I was missing something, logic. Me and you and everyone else in the Western world (maybe the whole world?) Have adopted Greek logic. The OT was written with a different logic, Hebrew Block Logic. Which is rather complicated. (A great example of this is Western Christians in the 3rd century thought, for one to be holy, they should abstain from sex. However, in the OT there is nothing wrong with sex, a gift from God, but it can be bad). Hebrew logic is known to have a lot of paradoxes. So when we read the OT we have to becareful a) what are we trying to read into it without letting the context and story speak for itself.
b) What logic are we using? Greek or Hebrew? We need to look at the OT with Hebrew logic.

So its very complicated. Another thing to think about is 'Poetic lisence'.

You have a good point - Adjust your logic to the bible and it'll make sense!
The problem with that is if you used such logic throughout your daily life, you'd end up in jail.

So in other words, don't take this book seriously and don't put it in reach of your children.
The Bible is the historical accounts of many unreliable, clearly disturbed historians. Nuff said.
