Re: The Bible is the Word of God
nd after publishing the 1611 King James Bible, England became a world power until the 1950's. So if the British people reading the King James Bible, were able to live righteously enough to be exalted by God as a superpower for more than 300 years....
And the Roman Empire was able to be exalted enough by Jupiter et al. to stay a superpower for 500 years or so. Then that scurrilous Constantine snuck in Christianity, and here came the Visigoths! What a silly argument, ROTB! Welcome to the board, but think before you post here! Some folks here can get pretty rough on that sort of stuff...

"The Rise in Major 'Killer' Earthquakes"
Except that the "rise" is not there....just their detection is better, and rising population worldwide can mean more fatalities.

Re: The Bible is the Word of God
It took England 100 years to go from a world power, to being just an average nation, and all it took was abandoning the Bible as the authority of society.
Oh. That's "all it took," huh? Fascinating.
I claim that England was the instrument raised up by Shiva to chastise the Hindus, and after they'd been chastised them enough, He shucked England off like a used paper towel. I don't think you can support your view any better than I can mine.

Re: The Bible is the Word of God
That's pretty bizarre - a string of unsupported assertions that "proves" something.
I still say it was Shiva raising up England to smite folks. Or maybe it was the Invisible Pink Unicorn, though She's not real big into Smiting.

The bible is dynamic. It will always be up-to-date.
Thanks for finally explaining that! Now I know how it was possible for the Bible to support an immovable Earth, burning women as witches, and ownership of slaves - it was just waiting on updates!
