Keep it up ! You're continually reaffirming that you're far better at insults than at bible exegesis (not that this was ever in doubt ... lol). Facts ? You're only interested in stuff that fits your blinkered world view. And you think that you're so smart ... sigh Attention readers (drifter...

Do keep the insults flowing, my dear drifter. After all, you do seem better at hurling insults than in serious bible discussion ... lol Attention readers (drifter excluded): If you're interested in a different perspective on all these so called 'evil' passages of the bible, do read what I...

Wow, I'm surprised ! Only one paragraph of mindless insults this time (and as usual, nothing to do with the thread or with what I posted in #144). I was expecting much more ... lol

You really think you sound real smart in your rant against Christians, the bible and in the insults you throw left, right and center, don't you ? Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, but you come across as a very objectionable person unlike other Atheists that I've met; lacking in depth and quality...

Nope, unlike you, I don't pretend to speak for any one on this forum. You were the one who wrote, "...you try to clean your bible here but too bad ppl here dont buy it ...". How do you know that people here don't buy what I say ? Speaking for other folks on this forum ? You're right. There...

Re: Items Prove Human Civilization Is Millions Of Years Old.....BIBLE Wrong As Usual What is the Bible Author Saying ? When we read the bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm and to what God wanted to...

I don't think you are in the position to speak for the 3000+ folks who have viewed this thread, that they do not buy what I say. I have explained in a fair amount of detail in post #144 why there are bible passages that appear to sanction killing and violence. I suggest you re-read that post...

Neither is God threatening you. Threaten = If you don't do XX, I will do something bad to you (eg: shoot you). However God is saying, "If you reject me when you exit this world, you will never find lasting happiness not because I'm going to make you unhappy, but because your own nature will...

I disagree. On the contrary, it is a delusional person, or someone with an extremely poor grasp of the English Language, or more likely, someone with extreme biasness against the bible that will see "murder, violence and abuse" in the verse: "Folly is close to the heart of a child, but the rod...

A more accurate analogy would be this: you have the choice to give your money to your struggling retrenched neighbour and in doing so, enter into a state of immense joy and satisfaction; OR you could keep the money and buy yet another flashy car for yourself which eventually will still leave you...

That's all good to know. But my question remains. If "murder, violence and abuse" is not found in the verse: "Folly is close to the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him" as you've agreed, why post this verse ? To be fair to you, it was drifter who started...

I disagree. You are interpreting the verse to suit your own agenda and crusade against the bible. An objective person will not see murder, violence and abuse in this particular verse. All the verse says is that children have a tendency to act foolishly (as all parents will testify to) and they...

If there is no "murder, violence and killing" in this particular verse, why was it posted? That's what I'm asking and I'm still awaiting an explanation.

Yes, this thread tries to list bible passages that show murder, killing and abuse. You quoted the following bible passage: "Folly is close to the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him." (Proverbs 22:15 NAB) I ask again in very plain language: where does...

Noted your views about God, religion and the state of education in Singapore. It hasn't added anything to our discussion on so called 'evil' passages in the bible and the message of God; but thanks for your thoughts any way :rolleyes:.

Where does this passage talk about beating your child to the point of abuse as suggested by the pictures that you have conveniently added ??!? Are you trying to infuse bible passages with malicious content and meanings that are not there to begin with, based on a plain reading of the bible...

As I've pointed out, the bible is only dangerous when you read passages in a vacuum, without understanding the whole of God's plan of salvation and the historical context of what is written. Yes, you do read about war, about killing and about suffering, especially in the old testament of the...

Then it might interest you to know that the idea that Christianity is only about the bible and nothing else (what is known as "Sola Scriptura" or "Bible Alone") is only held by Non-Catholic and Non-Eastern Orthodox Christians (aka Protestant Christians, loosely speaking). Ask the Catholic...

The bible in itself is not dangerous. It is folks (including Christians) reading bits and pieces of the bible in a vacuum without regard to the historical context and full Gospel message; who think that Christianity is only about the bible and nothing else - that is dangerous. Read points 1...

Having read these bible verses that drifter has so graciously posted, many folks must be taken aback at the killing, the torture, the suffering, the destruction, the immorality and what have you that God seems to sanction in the bible :eek:, especially in the old testament (the part of the bible...
