Does anyone else here believe that the Bible is hilarious? God smited people for skeeting on the ground, King David **** some guy so he could bone his wife and one guy rapes his sister and desecrates her. You can't get more vile in a book! THIS BOOK IS AWESOME. So, this I made this post for religious debates because I am considerably bored and Christianity is the easiest to pick on since it's so broken. Who here studies...and I mean STUDIED...the bible? Thunder

I like you. You left your belief at the front door and came with the facts. It's incredibly hard trying to argue cross/stake with a Witness. If you are going to refer to the first Bible, well then your must refer, as I said...to it entirely. That first Bible was completely terrible and ill-written, as evidenced by the complete persecution (not literal) of the text by the Pharisee, whom later outcasted those ex-Essenes who followed Jesus' teaching; and later became known as Christians. I'm not going to follow up on the whole cross/stake thing. A) I don't care what Jesus' died on...cross or stake...some even say he was assassinated he died for our sins regardless B) Trying to convince a Jehovah's Witness is probably the dumbest thing I ever tried. You all study scripture with the seriousness.

when all the apostles were **** and chrisitianity started adapting pagan rituals

As I said, if you know of the **** Sea Scrolls and Judaism, you would DEFINITELY not say that. OK F*CK THIS ONE. This is probably one of the most useless points made towards his argument. I refuse to dwell any more on it :lol: . Let's just agree to disagree on cross/stake/pike/spear/assassination.

if u wanna get on spelling errors lets talk about John 1:1 "In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." SCREECH! No, in the original Greek, that last phrase, "and the Word was God" was misspelled in the King James version, and that mistake has been copied. It should read, "and the Word was a god", since "theos"(a god, or godlike) is a singular predicate noun and is not preceded by the definite article. this would b an anarthrous "theos", as opposed to a personality.. It expresses a caertain quality about the Word, or Logos, but it doesn't identify him as one and the same with God himself. Other translators got it rite, translating it "and the Word was divine," or "and the Logos was like God."

I completely missed the point of this. Spelling errors are somewhat common, but FAR LESS COMMON on an engraving. They just don't take out a stone and start chiseling; they practice, check for perfection and execute. The main belief is that the tomb is not that of James', Jesus' brother to most people. And on the Alpha and Omega. Whether or not you consider him the Alpha and Omega, scripture does, and that is all that the author was alluding to.

As a believer I don't know whether to laugh wit yall or be offended. Having fun (not making fun) with the bible is not that big of a deal, but when you begin to mock God and Jesus, you steppin into something more serious than you think. Some of yall better be careful.

Who said I was making fun of it? I'm simply backing up a hypothesis that could VERY WELL hold true in accordance with scriptures from TWO (TWO!!!!!!!!) other religions that are far more historic than Christianity and have much more bearing. I'm not denouncing Christianity, I'm just letting everyone know of it's current issues; and the things people have been coming up with for some time...that Christians tend to just "shrug off". I've spent my time defending Christians also...anyone read The DaVinchi Code or Holy Grail, Holy Blood? Who wants to talk about Scientology? ****. Thunder
