The Professor User ID: 660063 United States 09/25/2009 02:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, I'm getting tired, so I'll give you just one more. According to the Book of John, Jesus Himself uttered the following words: “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven” (John 3:12-13). But the Jesus made two fatal errors, proving to all, and for all times, that Jesus could not be the prophesied savior. First, According to the cited scripture, Jesus had already ascended up to heaven, which could not be true!!!! John has Jesus saying things He could only have said after His death, resurrection and ascension. This passage clearly is nothing less than self evident fraud. Second, according to the Old Testament, Jesus was not the first who ascended to heaven. Both Enoch and Elisha were taken into heaven long before Jesus. Here are the verses: “And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:22-24). The Old Testament account is confirmed by the author of Hebrews: “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces” (2 Kings 2:11-12). Jesus, according to John, was apparently unfamiliar with the Old Testament. It is odd that John tells Christians that Jesus and God are equal (John 10:30; 1 John 5:7), yet the same John shows Jesus is totally ignorant of the Father’s writings! As they affectionately and eloquently say on GLP, WTF???? I have studied various versions of the Bible for over fifty years, and have found the book to be nothing mere than a badly written compilation of geographical and historical inaccuracies, scientific absurdities, incoherent dreams and visions, mystic symbolism, confusing theologies, filthy vulgarities, unimaginable brutalities, and hundreds of self contradictions (thousands if comparisons are made of purported direct quotations. I do not accept the Bible as the word of God, and this is not because I do not understand it, but rather because I do. The ultimate act of blasphemy is to ascribe such garbage to the Perfect Being. Have you even read the bible? |

The Professor User ID: 660063 United States 09/25/2009 02:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One more, and then I really am done for the day. This is one about Paul's ignorance of the word "seed" as used in the Bible. Paul tries to show that God's promise to Abraham was not passed to his children, but only to Christ because the Old Testament says the promise was made to Abraham's seed (singular) and not to his seeds (plural). This is exactly what Paul said: “That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ” (Galatians 3:14-16). Of all the comments made within the scriptures, this is one of the most absurd. Anyone who has ever read the Old Testament knows that the word “seed” is always used when referring to multiple descendants, and the word “seeds” is never – repeat never – used for this purpose. Anyone with a Strong's Concordance will quickly discover that the word “seed” appears hundreds of times in the OT; however “seeds” appears only once (Deuteronomy 22:9) and is used to describe plant life. Even in the New Testament the word “seed” is always used when referring to multiple descendents. Outside of Paul's ridicules comment, the word “seeds” appears only three times in the NT (Matthew 13:4, 22; and Mark 4:31) and in each case describes plant life. Those who read Paul's erroneous definition in the KJV reference Bible are referred to Genesis 12:7 and 13:15. I will present those verses and a few others, and let the reader see how foolish Paul was. “And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him” (Genesis 12:7). “And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered” (Genesis 14-16) “And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:5). Gerald Sigal described Paul's comments in plain and simple terms: “Paul's claim that that a single individual is meant by the term 'seed' in Gen. 13:15 and 17:18 is fallacious. Nowhere in the Hebrew Bible do we find the plural of 'seed' used used with reference to human descendants. In all instances, the singular term seed is used in the plural sense” (The Jew and the Christian Missionary, p. 8). Bible critic C. Dennis McKinsey probably said it best: “If 'seed' is referring to Jesus alone, then Gen 12:7 would mean that God gave Jesus, the creator of heaven and earth, the land of Canaan as an inheritance; Gen. 13:16 and 22:17 would mean Jesus was as numberless as the dust of the earth; Gen 15:13 would mean Jesus and a nation of Christs would serve Egypt four hundred years, and Gen 17:9-10 would mean that the covenant of circumcision was established with Jesus. Al these readings are, of course, absurd” (The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy, p. 404). Paul was, without doubt, totally ignorant of the Old Testament in general and the Hebrew language in particular. It should be clear to anyone with no more than a few dozen fully functioning brain cells that the promise to Abraham was to be passed to his children and their descendants, not to Christ as Paul foolishly suggested. You don't have to be a genius, just read the Bible and you will understand. I have made my case, but I have one parting shot to take at Paul. It is known that there are 60-80 million sperm cells per milliliter,and the average ejaculate is approximately 2 milliliters. If, as the Old Testament says, Onan spilled his seed to the ground rather than impregnate his deceased brother's widow (for which the Lord killed him), and if, as Paul says,the word seed is singular, how in the hell was Onan able to separate one single sperm cell from over one million others swimming in his seminal fluid? |

Why don't you also ask Bible believing Christians to do the same since they cannot agree on what the Bible says. There are many different Christian sects, each with its own particular beliefs. Some of the theological differences are insignificant, however some are critical. For instance, some Christians believe that salvation comes through faith alone and good works are meaningless; however, other Christians believe the opposite is true, that we are judged solely by our works, and that faith without works is dead. Some Christians believe the doctrine of “once saved always saved” whereby those who accept Christ can thereafter continuously sin without jeopardizing their salvation; while other Christians believe the opposite, that those who sin after accepting Christ are worse than those who never learned the truth of Christ‘s salvation. Some Christians believe that Jesus is merely the son of God, while others believe He is part of a co-equal Trinity, and still others believe He IS God. There are dozens of other doctrinal disputes among Christians, and in every case, these Christians with diametrically opposing theologies point to the same Bible to prove their conflicting positions. And in every case, there are indeed Biblical versus which, on their face, support each of the opposing positions. The ultimate proof that there are contradictions in the Bible is that Christians unwittingly keep pointing them out to the rest of the world. Good night. |

David can't decide, so God chooses for him and sends a pestilence, killing 70,000 men (and probably around 200,000 women and children). How many years of famine? Seven years of famine 2 Samuel 24:13 So Gad came to David and told him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? Three years of famine 1 Chronicles 21:11-12 So Gad came to David and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, choose thee either three years of famine. After God threatens to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people for a census that he inspired, David says, "let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great." Is God Merciful?

Quoting: Sir.KalinAll are unclean and may not be eaten. Deuteronomy 14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. Some may be eaten. Leviticus 11:21-23 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

Yet I am not a Judge, I just would like to know How people add 2 + 2 + 2 = 5 Maybe some pattern. All I can see so far is Misquotes, taken out of context, adding too. taking away.

It's right there in your own posting (now quoted and highlighted) Deuteronomy 14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. Thank you, Now that you see ONE line, how do you equate "creeping thing that flieth" to "All are unclean and may not be eaten. " All does NOT equal creeping thing And you even have But of all clean fowls ye may eat and Of all clean birds ye shall eat. So once again How do you make it equal? I would like to understand.
