How do we know the prohibition against allowing menstruating women in church, for instance, isn't a VERY BIG deal to God ??

(or insert any of a seeming myriad of bizzaro does and don'ts in scripture there)

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


Seems we have some math to work out on our own. Wink

"Timothy" and the other so-called pastoral epistles are frauds.  Pseudoepigraphic trash.

But not to people that view it as a spiritual cypher.

1.  God wants everyone to believe and to be saved (says so right in the handbook).

2.  The way to learned how to be saved is a deep and assiduous study of the Bible.

3.  If 1 & 2 are true (ask any Christian, they'll tell you), then God would make sure that the Bible is accurate.

4.  Given 3, all translations of the Bible should read exactly the same to all believers and potential believers.  In other words, there should be absolutely no reasonable confusion over what ANY of the passages in the Bible say or mean.

C.  Since 4 is clearly not true, the Bible is no more or less to be sanctified and believed than the mythos of any other religion.

Boru

I am "any Christian". I would state that only your first assertion is accurate. The bar for salvation is set very low.
