Quote:Leviticus is a Jewish book from the torah why would a xtian be quoting it???
Levitcus is very important. After all, most Christians would of been keeping the Mosaic law, so from a historical point of view, its very important and also to understand Christian theology. Paul quotes a lot of the OT. I dont see how anyone can be a NT Christian and forget about the OT
Quote:It is a book of the the clan Levi....and clearly demonstrates that it was written by a primitive stone age humanoid who didn't know a bat was a mammal...this might help YOU.
Have you ever read it? In some ways the book of leviticus was light years ahead, untill about the 19th century.
Quote:The resurrection is a direct plagiaristic leitmotif stolen from pagans who recognised that the sun in the northern hemisphere "dies" @ Winter solstice and "hovers" for three days on the horizon before 'RISING AGAIN"....I mean REALLY kiddies!
I wonder if in the future, the history of the 21st century is going to become invalid, because we had some weird beliefs?
This is ad hominem.
Quote:Normally, a good point. However, the "Word of God" is supposed to be flawless. It's held to a higher standard. One error is all it takes to bring it down.
Not at all. If it was written by God, then yes one error would ruin its credibility. However, this was written by falliable men. I dont believe the Bible is without error, perhaps it does have some historical errors. However, this does not change the fact the Jesus died and rose again...
Disagree with the gospels. However, 1 Corinthians 15, validates a lot of what the gospels say. Although, I dont know why the women who first saw Jesus were not mentioned, perhaps because the people he was writing to, did not respect the testimony of women?
Quote:So they continued in the religious rituals of the former Roman religions during the transition to a fully established church that laid down firmer dogmas. How is it that the very fact that Christians have never and can never agree on even some of the simplest of beliefs, transubstantiation for example, is overlooked as a major religious hole?
Have you heard of the Indian proverb; the four blind men and the elephant?
Quote:Everyone has their own interpretation of the bible and God, and their relationship with the spiritual realm....well all that really implies is no one has any idea what is going on and we make stuff up that makes us feel better. No religion has lasted in a pure form for more than a few decades, and never unified, in the history of mankind, why doesn't this problem bug any theists out there?
Indeed. Religion is made by man, but man cant grasp the concept of God, all we can say about God, is the He is the creator, that is all we can really grasp of Him.

Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.
