    Almost 2000 years ago there was a truth brought forth by a great man (Son Of GOD).
       The father of deceit (Satan) began using this truth for his selfish purposes.  Only a few interpretations were necessary for his plan to work.
      Over time these interpretations seemed to take a life of their own. These interpretations matured and mated; reproducing many offspring. Almost 2000 years later the earth is covered with interpretations of the original truth.
        Now the father of the lie points to "The Faith" and accuses it of falsehoods.

        As my grandfather would ask;........
      "You are goina Sh-t on me and then kick me cause I stink ??? "
                  "I don't think so"
        The truth is still here, written in scriptures.
    We just gotta dig past the interpretations to get to it and hold on tight to it. 
         
         I'm just thinking out loud again.
    Could there be any truth in this  ???

            It's funny how you decided to point a finger, when I was the second person to say something.

            Did I say anything about you whatsoever? I simply agreed with what Mark Knowles said. Don't think you're special, because you are not.

            Your pathetic interpretation of religion and it's false or phoney writings is a joke.

            You bring up scriptures, when you haven't first realized that religion's pathetic storyline of a mythic or mystical "GOD" is FAKE to begin with.

            If you understood Jesus' work, like you supposedly claim to, then you would KNOW religion is false. But, since you cannot seem to take your own ego and check, like the rest of the religious people on the damn planet......your ignorance offends any common-sensible person.

                You want proof. Test the doctrines. Be honest with yourself when you do? Don't take my word, I'm not trying to tell anyone to take my word on it.

                My self-realization of no god is simple, by the test of doctrines religion perpetuates forth. When you throw away religion as a hoax- it's pathetic GOD concept goes with it.

                Religion is a hoax, that means the "GOD" concept is too.

                Yes, people were praying to some sort of GOD before religion came about. However, it's still religion and/or religious, mystic. smile

        Hey SirDent, the LIES even contains truth in it. What truth is revealed is what is needed to be determined. smile

        Truth is in everything. It is for us(as people) to find it.

        A lie, always bares out truth, because truth always finds it way out.

          When I used to drink, I always drank whiskey and I liked to drink it straight up. I didn't want it mixed with anything. I only wanted the pure stuff.

          The same can be said about your statement. Once truth is diluted with lies, it isn't pure anymore and therefore, of no effect.

                    Can your truth be the same for other? A rapist for instance believe that it is his right to rape and therefore it is his truth.

                    It takes more watered down whiskey to get a person drunk than if he drank straight whiskey. That is common sense.

      Jerami, I don't know that you can have everyone agree to only one version of Christianity.  I think each person is touched according to how that person is.  Could it be that Satan can reach people by deception, yeah, but it's still up to that person to realize it.  It would be very hard to protect everyone, so you have to have faith.

      One can only know the original by going to the original.

      How long are we going to compare copy with copies?

      That would have been ok if there was no original but the truth is the Original is where it has always been.

      My friend leave the books alone and walk in the Spirit.

      That Spirit is that original which the writers themselves boasted in.

      To follow the writings is to follow the writers and you risk error where the writer were limited in their explanation if ever they even tried to explain.

      It obvious they sometimes wrote parables and not  plainly.

             Truth in scripture is kinda like an onion..
        Ya peal back a layer and think that we have found the truth.
        ya think that all that is needed is to keep pealing back all of the layers to find basic truth but in fact this is folly.
          The truth that we are looking for was in the first layer.

          I think that I see your point a little better today.
        Not sure how much I agree but I do a little more today than yesterday??
          When we spend our time and energy studying those messages that were given to a people thousands of years ago, will we hear his messages we should be hearing today?
           Or something like that.
           However I believe that prophesy was given to be passed down through the generations, that we know that we have not been forsaken when these things happen.
            They also help to identify the players.

  3. Rod Marsden profile image67
    Rod Marsdenposted 13 years ago

    Which scriptures are you talking about? When the Catholics decided to put the scriptures dealing with Jesus together and form their version of the new testament they played politics. Scriptures that did not agree with them were either rejected then banned or altered so they were more agreeable. New scriptures were created to fill in some gaps and also to support the kind of Church they were putting together. When the reformation came about and the Catholic/Protestant split the issue of how the scriptures came about was never raised. Martin Luther and many others simply took the scriptures in the New testament to be the word of god and that was that. Going back to the original Greek or Latin in order to translate accurately into modern languages so that more people could read the bible was the initial goal.

    Yes, there are perhaps too many interpretations out there sometimes arising from difficulties in translation and sometimes the politics of the day when it comes to translating.

      Interpretations of the OT were necessary to agree with the intended format of the NT which they wanted to guide in the direction that they wanted it to go.

        Sneakorocksolid...Oh, really? She has been dead for 6 years as of this month. I'm pretty sure the leukemia did her brain in.

        Now, if she does rise from the dead, than maybe I'll believe in all this hogwash about God and Satan and morale. yikes

        Even more exciting, Zombies.

    Listen, you know that cagsil, earnest, mark knowles, and q are like dope pushers don't you?  They try to get in your way, push "dope" and tell you that they have the answer and try to undermine your purpose. Why do you think they're so attracted to religious forums? If they were just normal atheists and agnostics, they wouldn't bother coming to these forum but they do. Just try to have the discussion and don't let them hijack your thread.
