Literalist can actually use the Bible to distort it's truths because not all verses are meant to be literal and some have twofold meanings. By the way I do not spout falsely about the scriptures, if I have an opinion on what the Bible could be saying on a subject I say so. My faith doesn't conflict with reality, in actuality it is reality, those who tyr to manipulate the Bible are the ones moving away from God's reality and in the end it's His that counts.Yeah, I know that you believe that your faith doesn;t conflict with reality..but..... I've also heard you describe a great deal of your faith...so I know that's not, actually, true, lol.
Examples please, throwing out nondescript ideas doesn't work.
Quote:No, He reveals the truth, it's you who wants to distort things to suit your own beliefs. I have no desire to distort the word of God i seek it's truth as God would have me to. You didn't even try to answer the questions posed, so your name change has not help you. Why do you refuse to answer question, do you find that traipsing around them secures your position before your fellow atheist.

So, uh...no comments on those bible verses I had an issue with? The ones about killing a jew so that I don't have to go to hell for coveting my neighbors fields?
Genesis is literal. I know of no magic book. You did not post any Bible verses, if you want my comments on Bible verses give book, chapter and verse.
I answered your question are you going to return the same.

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.
