Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yes, Satan nailed Eve in the Garden of Eden and had a son.

He misspelled subtlety.

I was afraid that video would be weird...

One could do as convincing an analysis of Grimms' Fairy Tales, which is more believable than the Bible anyway.

Hahahaha!

Just a gut feeling?

The Bible is written in symbolic language,also some books have been removed as well which leads to even more unanswered questions.

Since you brought it up, baldhunter...

What began as a mass of ever-embellished verbal stories in Aramaic and other languages is finally collected in about the year 600, with about a third of them being discarded or rejected before being written down in ancient Greek. Later dubiously translated into ancient Latin and even more centuries later into Chaucerian English, early German, and other languages. Then continually revised, re-translated, abridged, and essentially re-written from scratch.

Until today, we are told to accept it word for word. (Coming soon: The Bible in Ebonics!)

But it’s the WORD OF GOD, they say. So is the Quran, the Talmud, as well as the texts of Buddhism, Taoism, and at least a dozen other “isms” of the thousands of other religions practiced in history and around the globe. Is yours the one and only “right” religion? Yes, say the believers of each and every one of them. Is your book the one and only word of god? Yes, say the believers of each and every one of them.

Exactly! Everybody knows stories never change from one person to another.

Rocky, that would be laughable if it weren't so ignorant.

I've always had a problem with that. It is the word of God but it has been perverted, corrupted and defiled, just like every other thing that man has ever touched.

We have the Dead Sea Scrolls which are nearly word-for-word compared to most modern translations.

These are Sons of the Devil from a Biblical point of view.

Kim took a basic doctrine and complicated so much that it makes him look like he has some kind of special insight that nobody but a handful of the Churches of Christ denomination hold to.

Satan's seed is clearly defined for us: However, What they need is a clear Gospel presentation.
The end of this movie on Psychopaths explains all of that after the credits.

Another PODS conman trying to invent ;interesting' ways to weasel into everyone's wallet. constant yapping thumpers are "the great dividers!"

Tell me, Tyrone - what part of what I wrote isn't factual? And how do you know?

I guess we’ll all find out sooner or later, and for some......the sooner the better! memtb

So this is what happens to Asians from Mythbusters when they die.

Watch the Miraculous Exodus and The Biblical Exodus on Youtube.

yeah he's a few meg short of a full OS

That's a bit unfair to Buddhism and Taoism from what I know of them.

Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, never really talks about a God, he sort of mentions "the gods" in an offhand manner sometimes. But what stands out is that he said basically "what I'm telling you works for me. Try it yourself, if it doesn't work, then try something else."

Taoism, from the Tao te Ching or Way of Life, also never talks about being a true religion, it doesn't even call itself a religion. The guy who supposedly wrote it just wrote down some things about the way the universe flows, and folks can go with that flow or against it.

Humans later on deified Buddha even though he never claimed to have any supernatural origin, plus they added a whole bunch of technical stuff which AFAIK he never talked about. I don't believe there is any central deified figure in Taoism although again, humans have created a structure of religion around it. Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism, not having a central god figure, are basically pretty peaceful religions, you won't find much in the way of crusades or mass wars caused by their believers. "It's God's will that we destroy you! (that salves our conscience about the horrible, sadistic brutality we bring upon you and makes it okay)" Absent that whole "god's will" thing folks tend to treat their fellows much better. The Hindus have fought against the Muslims but that's probably as much politically and economically based as the deadly struggles between Protestants and Catholics.

The Christian and Islamic power brokers are the two biggies who will kill you if you disagree, and in Christianity that's the extant remnant of the Roman Empire working symbiotically with secular governments to enlarge and cement their power. I suspect it's the same with Islam except the Islamic clerics want to be the entire government with no competition from secular sources.

Funny, sse. Really.
