You have made god to small. <br/> <br/> I do not believe. the bible is the ...

<t>any thetime of Jesus Friday was the sabbath. so Saturday was equal to our Sunday so Jesus was entombed Thus night #fitst night. Saturday was the second night. Due to the way the ancient calendar was used the third night was Sunday the next night was the third because the Third day did not end unt...

Ted

Hi all. Spen a lot of time in the hospital with an infection (not coved 19). Back soon.

Ted

<t>Xfrod I simply have a different view. I do not agree with you. There are some 23000 variations of the Christian faith and many claiming to have the only or the sole truth. You are right there with the other 23999 others., You have failed to convince that of all those people that you and you alone...

Ted

With all due respect I see complaints in the ignorance file when it comes to religion. Not just speaking about one faith but all.

Ted

Xfrod I was raised in the fundamentalist fold. Fundamentalism is in my view not the least bit credible.

Ted

Try to understand the nature of "Midrash

Ted

Try to under stand the nature of "Midrash"

Ted

<t>My trust in the Divine is based on my experiences of the Divine or the or Sacred. Just because the "Bible" claims to be from God does not make it so. Many of the ancient sacred scriptures make the same claim. Jesus was a very unique human being, and that is what he was. He had a unique relationsh...

Ted

<t>Xfrod I do not believe the Bible top be the inerrant word of God. We do learn of Jesus in the Bible but really very little., I believe that Jesus of Nazareth was a very historical person but not God. To make Jesus in to God is to demean the very wonderful person he was. It is also to demean the v...

Ted

Oops double post.

Ted

<t>I trust in God. I do not need a contract such as the very human book "The Bible. I do not need all of those appendages that people put to Jesus was a very unique individual with a very special relation withe the Divine. No Jesus was not God. He was executed for treason and crimes against the stat...

Ted

<t>Xfrod I will put it clearly. I trust in God. I do not need the very human book called "The Bible" to be like contract. Jesus himself was a human being albeit a very unique person. And to make Him into a God is to demean the very unique person he was. As for heaven that is questionable but I trust...

Ted

Read "Days of Awe and Wonder" by Marcus Borg.

Ted

Ted

The Greeks thought it was on top of Mount Olympus.

Ted

The question is "is there a heaven"?

Ted

God is not dead but an anthropomorphic entity and not a being up there.

Ted

All religions are culturally based and thus are valid for the religions they are created by

Ted

More ignorance from fundamentalism.

Ted

Xfod the only thing under attlack is the ignorance displayed in fundamentalism.

Ted

Xfrod that is another example of the ignorance of the religious right.

Ted

xfrod the constant denial of the well demonstrated facts the continue to fight the reality of the facts of evolution. That is from the wanna bees. These people simply do not trust in God.

Ted

Mickiel I'm in agreement.

Ted

xMaybe we should remove marriage from the religious sphere altogether.

Ted

still the same old rubbish passed on as science. What bloody nonsense

It would appear that so many people still have a reading problem.

Ted

Religion and politics should not be mentioned or mixed in together. In Canada we finally have the right to choose our own end. This whole issue is exactly what gives any faith a bad name. I do mean any faith. I do accept all faiths as legit for the particular location in which it is found.

Ted

The story of creation in the Bible is an ancient attempt to explain how we got here. read literally it is pure nonsense It is hard to fathom anyone reading it as history.

Ted

Be away for a while and it is still the same old same old.

Ted

I think he will and he will win. However it is the loosers who support trump

Ted

<t>The fundies are driving many from the Christian faith which the statistics support. (Diana Butler Bass.) The fundies do not trust in God so they need a contract, (to hold God to his word. Nor to they accept all the tenets in the "Bible" Their God is too small "J B Philips" Bible translater.</t>

Ted

Some are still trying to live in the ancient pre historic era.

Ted

Pigs fly.

Ted

Naive pure and simple. Pure BS

Ted

<t>That is the greatest load of BS I've herd for awhile. You are either willfully blind or stupid and I do not believe you are stupid.The children are and have been treated in a horrible Way. This is contrary to the Christian way no mater how you present it. This is nothing more than hypocrisy and i...

Ted

<t>We are no talking about illegal or legal.. We are speaking about human beings. Jesus was not talking about children. And you my friend are speaking in contraindication of Jesus very words. You uphold the parts of the Bible you want to uphold and you also ignore the parts that you do not like. You...

Ted

my country an all others be long to God. But you have done a good job at making Gof in you image

Ted

Then we hear of many children mored to live in appalling conditions The great American dream.

Ted

<t>Xfrod I stand by what I have written. As we are in a bit of a mesas here <br/> <br/> I have no access to my library for a few days I do recall the worlds attributed to Jesus of Nazareth clearly He had a different understanding of the word murder. The commandment says "thou shalt do no murder. Mur...

Ted

Some people indulge in lying in order to make the evidence prove their point. All I can say is that God created the scientists who are presenting the truth. Another part of the Bible ignored for the purpose of "wanna be"

Ted

<t>Men like P. Robertson who called for the death of a president it would seem a little on the poor memory side. He obviously missed the commandment to refrain from killing. Americans seen to have missed that point in executing criminals or alleged criminals. To say they have not executed innocent p...

Ted

Satan was likely an inventions of either Egypt or Mesopotamia. It was a poor attempt to explain evil in the world.

Ted

Christians like Falwell or the jerk that protests at the funerals of gay people should be persecuted for their ignorance and stupidity Another is Pat Robertson along with a host of of others. Their ignorance is appalling. .

Ted

What does "God" mean? That is what does the word "God" refer to?

Ted

I know of several scientists who believe in God. Bujt what does it mean to "believe in Go"

Ted

Really or is that man's truth?
