The funny thing about those scriptures is they were not created all at once. They are an accretion of revalation over time. And over time it is obvious that god changes the rules. Supposedly the last rule book was published almost 2,000 years ago. What makes you think the rules are the same? Why couldn't the book of Mormon be a more recent edition? What makes you think there is not some other more recent religion that now represents the current rules?

Okay shall we then give God a Breath test?
God spent the entire second day...when he was still fresh...of creation building a thing called The Firmament. It's this solid structure that covers the Earth, the stars hang from it and the "divided" ocean water is above it, as is Heaven.
Is this a lie or is there really such a structure?

This thread started with someone asserting that Christians had no grounds for determining if a claim by this woman was actually a command of God or not. It was asserted the only reason the jury could have found her insane if they believed God speaks to people, was that they didn’t believe God would say that. They further asserted that such a command did not contradict the bible. I responded firstly explaining how this command contradicted teachings of scripture (it contradicts end times teachings), and then by explaining how a Christian can determine if other such claims are commands of God or not, e.g. by evaluating it in the light of scripture. A Christian (fundamentalists at least) assumes the inerrancy of the bible, and that God is not a liar. I don’t have the time or interest at the moment to debate either of these topics. I can’t see why I should go to the effort of following every tangent of debate that is thrown at me when not even my first argument has been addressed. The initial poster has disappeared from this thread out of boredom no doubt, and I don’t blame them.

LP675, why are you doing this? {Edit}. The posts are here for all to see. I pointed out:

To which you responded:

To which I responded:

And somehow you think that this is not a legitimate line of enquiry for an OP that asks:

Now it was you that claimed that your religion does offer a reliable way to know how to discriminate, which was what the OP was about and now you say things like this:

Now LP675, if the atheists on this board got the better of you then {Edit}.
