I would get into a debate with them and show their wasnt really a good idea. Although that would rely on thinking and looking at the Greek and Hewbrew, which is too hard for fundies
Go for it.
Allow me to introduce you to Godschild. He should do.
The rest of us will sit back and watch.
Shame on you Min, have you become bored with the sandbox or is it the rest of the kids have seen through you and want play with you any more.
Yes I'm a fundie, I believe the Bible is literal and why shouldn't I, it's the only way it makes sense. It's not my fault that others do not dig deep into scripture and find the answers that are there. If people don't pray for guidance from God when they read the Bible then how do they expect to be taught the truths contained within it. This is a book that is totally based on the spiritual and how it translates to the physical. Most of the physical we can see but when it comes to the spiritual you need to have a spiritual teacher that is completely knowlegable about the spiritual life. I do go to the greek and hebrew when I need to find understanding about a subject I also do not assume that the ancient times are like today but I do think that people are very similar in so many ways.
Min there's no way you could set back and keep your two cents out of it, because you believe your two cents is worth a dollar or two....... I know the dollar isn't worth much any more!!!!!
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.
