But Phil the bible doesnt say "god created bacteria..." it says god created man and woman - its proven that evolution created man and woman and not god - if the bible is incorrect on such a basic point what else is it inaccurate about?
agreed it doesnt specifically say that God created bacteria lol though that may come under the umbrella of God created all things. God created the Heavens and the earth.
its simply not proven that evolution produced man and woman, where are the half apes folk now? if evolution is continuing?surely? why arent we evolving more? we havent beat everything yet? in 500years we will be able to running faster than a cheetah and be stronger than a bear>? and oh so much clever? like we will probably have found a few billion more galaxies? that werent there until we spotted them through a big scope on Pluto. no i dont think so.
No offence mate but alot of what I read in the bible is like a badly written sci-fi script. That is not designed to be offensive but when I read about burning bushes, miracles etc it doesnt seem like reality to me.
no offence taken dylan, why would supernatural seem like reality? it was recorded that God clothed the world in darkness when his Son died, this was recorded by historians(an eclipse i hear you think(myhearingspowerfulgood!) it was for 6hours, thats no eclipse) its natural to try and put limits to God, but if you cannot accept a burning bush how could you begin to imagine the beginning time!(neither can i)
Plus if Jesus was at a wedding turning water in to wine where is he now? turn NOTHING into water and food for starving kids who are tonight in pain and suffering - I ask you where is your god? and if your god allows that type of suffering to occur then he should be ashamed of him/herself.
if, we were doing as the Bible teaches we would give to those in need, i guess in that sense we dont do enough, although alot of Christians are Aid workers in difficult and dangerous parts of the world. as to where is my God?, he is in Heaven, he sent his Son to Earth, and man he had created 2thousand years previous Killed his Son by Nailing him to a tree for Sin he didnt have. man started the suffering when Sin entered into the world(and i quote" and death by Sin and so death is passed upon all men" "it is appointed on to men once to die and after this the judgement") sadly that is the case, thats one appointment we will not be late for.
suicide was not permitted now it is.
contraception wasnt permitted but now it is.
the bible hasnt changed, its presentation has (and even then your example is limited to the Catholic Church) it probably suited the church to ban contraception to Boost family and numbers in the churchs.
I struggle to believe - if there was something that showed me that a higher power existed I would believe.
willing to consider, you are a bigger man than many.
I was stopped in staples a few weeks ago in Florida. This woman started talking to me in one of the isles. She started asking me how I felt about religion etc then when I told her I had my own personal beliefs and would prefer not to discuss it she jumped down my throat quoting passages to me etc and I said to her "where was your god when his so called representitives and the people who spread his word were abusing children?? where was your god then?" she promptly walked off.
her God was taking note of every Sin commited, for the bible speaks of the "wages of Sin" them you earn through sin and every man knows he has earned well. they will be held accountable they will stand before God. if we cant comprehend the evil done, remember this God is Just.
Personally dont see much difference between religion and cults.
me either, im not a religious person the Bible tells that "there is none righteous no not one" its all gibberish to me, i just keep it simple.
