123 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Sounds to me like a gnostic document struggling to survive. Practically harmless, as long as you dont fall into its trap.
Justified Saint Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Just bad interpretations. Would be difficult to suffer a debate.
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Very briefly looked at two things on there. From what I could tell it was just really inaccurate Biblical (and literary) interpretation. For example: The Bible says nations WILL fight other nations. The site concludes that the Bible therefore endorses war. Edited November 4, 2006 by thedude
123 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 And hilariously, The website [b]"no-belief".com[/b] has produced such a document, is preposterous if thought to be true.
Katholikos Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 This would be hysterically funny if it were not so pathetically, deadly serious. Here's yet another example of the evils of Sola Scriptura and making every individual his own interpreter of Sacred Scripture. Oy veh! ------------------------------ Blessed Father Damien, pray for us!

Winchester Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 It's really difficult to debate a website. Obviously it's a website; I've been there. There's nothing to debate. And the guy has a point. The Bible is violent and we're rotten people. He wins. Let him go back to eating his vegan diet and collecting pictures of Tim Robbins.

Azriel Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Tim Robbins - Left winger who's "partners" with Susan Sarandon. Great Actor - see "Shawshank Redemption" [img]http://www.pathguy.com/robbins.jpg[/img]

GodChild Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I'm not sure how to take peoples responses to this question were you being sarcastic? I believe that these are questions and quotes in the bible that do need some explanation. I know for myself, that they prove to be a serious hindrance to my faith, for as hard as i try tp believe that God is Love, all i need do is open the Old Testament and there sits an entire collection of books about Gods anger, wrath, sending of evil, plagues, destroying nations, commanding people go to war and literally commit genocide For instance, here is something that does not make sense to me: God is perfect pure and sinless, God is Love --> Anger is sin [mortal sin according to the Church] --> God is almost ALWAYS angry throughout the old Testament --> therefore God is commiting mortal sin --> therefore God is not sinless ???????????

[/quote] Anger is not a mortal sin. It is a state of mind that can lead to mortal sin, but not a sin in and of itself.
Winchester Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Mr. Robbins is a brilliant actor. He has presence on the big screen.
