Re: "Why would God write a book of lies and why would you worship such a being?" topiic

1st: just cause i am a n00b here. why call this the peanut gallery?

I think the author of the OP is correct, that if "god wrote lies into the Bible" then you shouldn't be a 'christian' (according to their definitions).

but if you believe that God is real and wrote this book, with lies or not, then I would think you would be somewhat religious to begin with.

Maybe this version of the bible is the satanic verses and Lucifer is the real god who loves us?

Re: Peanut Gallery

honestly I thought Penut gallery meant what Caffiene said it meant. to me it was the Cheap Seats. I think it comes from vaudeville.

For example when I go to an NFL game I have to hire a Sherpa to take me up to the peanut gallery.

I know I am showing my age, but I have never seen Howdy doody.

Re: "Why would God write a book of lies and why would you worship such a being?" topiic

thanks you have suffieciently explained what this means in plain english and excellent examples.

Sure, and if you based your religious beliefs on a flawless Bible, then when flaws in the Bible are found, those religious beliefs should change. I agree with the OP that he shouldn't be the type of christian he is if he thinks that a flaw in the Bible means God is lying and therefore he cannot trust it.

Do those christians atcually exist outside Anabaptist communities?

I figured that anyone on the INTERNET who made a claim like that was probably a Poe.

Re: "Why would God write a book of lies and why would you worship such a being?" topiic

I could understand someone from an older generation, say my parents, or grand parents, who don't really live in the information age, and vigorously send me chain emails about the most silly and mundane topics that I am supposed to believe, though when I go to snopes or just google some of the BS I find out in a minute or two how false thier perceptions are on just about everything. But someone younger (say under 45), should definately know better and do a better job of finding information on a topic, or looking at something that you think is "perfect flawless divine information"; I don't know it just seems exceptionally silly to me.
To base one's faith on a concept like this is mind boggling to me, but then again I do not belong to a church like this. My church predates the bible, is pre-denominational, and is apostolic (we also are more into the good works).

Re: "Why would God write a book of lies and why would you worship such a being?" topiic

Someone with a strict upbringing might have been sheltered from any expositing of the flaws in the Bible. When they finally find the real world, they might be in a position like that.

you would think that by reading the bible and possing some sort of basic logic one would figure it out on thier own. I think the evangelical protestants are willfully ignorant, as it is the only explanation i can figure out. I know old people are, I have witnessed it, and why I used them as an example earlier.

There's even shit like this out there:

HugeDomains.com

ZOMFG! I watched the video, how in the heck do you know about this stuff? I wonder what happens when these children try and go to a pro-evolution site?

Kind of strange its noah instead of some NT guy, it sounds so jewish.
