User ID: 155774 United States 05/26/2007 03:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am 22 and fully believe the Word of God is the Bible! Quoting: Believer 241879Hi Believer, When I was 22, I believed that also. And it took me another 20 to 40 years to realize that while the Bible contains God's word, it also contains the words of the devil and many others. It took me many years to realize that both creation and evolution are not only possible, but necessary. And it took me many years to realize that God/The Creator/ Force/ Source/ The Great Spirit/ Allah is not a painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He/She/It is the Sentient Universe, who experiences all we experience, feels all we feel, and also creates through us. Also, I have come to realize that many people use the Bible to justify their evil deeds, picking out a passage here or there to justify white supremacy, slavery, wars for greed and evil instead of following the simple words of Jesus, "Love." Peace If we do not learn to live together, we will die together. "I am not afraid to stand alone, but it's always more fun if I have friends standing with me." Lena Coleon. |

Matrix User ID: 241590 Australia 05/26/2007 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Without that Bible, many charities that exist today would simply not exist. No other book has inspired mankind to reach out to their neighbors(when you do it to the leastest, you do it to God(the greatest)). The end of the dark ages fully came, when the Bible was put into print in every language making it the most widely printed book on earth, and so the only book able to transmit a message globally. The globalists will never have such power, a true global net-working ability and a great educational resource which establishes civilization. The rich men globalists will try to ban it eventually, but that will make it's power and reality that much stronger the more it and the messengers of the "Good(God) news" are persecuted. The Word will never be driven from this planet, because it's in too many languages now, so it's the Word of God for mankind as a whole. When every other message is wiped from this planet, the Word of God would be the last to go because it the only real truthful message with no lies in it accepted by all languages. The way, truth and life indeed. |

Jesus defeated Satan's lock on people and he gave us the Holy Spirit to take our spirit out of Satan's realm! When we allow the holy spirit in think of it as a life guard in the water. It bonds to our spirit so when our spirit is released at death we are rescued out of here!!! This is the simplest explanation I can come up with but the bible explains the process in real detail!! Language has changed in a couple thousand years and some parts meant for the spirit filled to understand so the unsaved cannot see the truth that is there!2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. :::: From that scripture you see that all who call upon Jesus can be saved!!Praise the Lamb:: Amen |

Quoting: HgNo, education leads people away from a literal belief in the Bible. Not necessarily the same thing. are you saying that Jesus was not educated? what about Paul the Apostle? |
