Since you know what you posted and what I posted, how about answering the questions.
My position is clear. Crystal. I’m not threatened by what you think or believe. I’m not threatened by science...science that makes all of our lives better...every single day of our lives. The Bible is NOT the foundation of Christianity. I believe that the Gospel would still be true if every Bible and manuscript in the world were non-existent.


The Gospel surely would still be true. But how would we know about it if it wasn't written down? Passing it down solely by word of mouth would surely have distorted it beyond recognition by now. The distortions by liberal churches are bad enough as it is, that would just add to the problem. There has to be a benchmark for people to refer back to in a similar way that we have laws that are written down. Suppose the Constitution had not been written down? I'm sure glad the second amendment is written down; even if liberals try to distort it, the original words are there for us to point back to and make a stand on.

The Bible says what it says and that doesn't change. You can believe some, all, or none of it. I don't believe that you have to believe all of it to be a Christian, but once you start picking and choosing you are on a slippery slope.

I take a break from the computer at night, so excuse me if I'm being repetitive here.

The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
