GO heaven bible
I wouldnt worry about it, both othe old and nt are written by historians hundred years apart, wrote some historical facts, wrote what they wanted and the christian faith picked out what they wanted you to read and destroyed or hid the others...therefore dont worry the bible is what we call fables, some good stories, death destruction, killing of woman/children, its really not good reading

Besides : there is little sense in using tools that are not prepared for such an imployment. Though it is legitimate, of course, to apply to the roots it seems unfruitful to use arguments which 1st century Christians might have employed towards their contemporary Jews and Gentiles. 2000 years of Christian development have elapsed since then. Just for example, in 1st century fulfilled prophecies of the OT would have been regarded as fair evidence in a debate with Jewry, they are not today. Michael |

'I could not find anywhere in the Gospels or NT that says we must get to Heaven WHEN WE DIE'. The bible is so contradictory that if you look hard enough or suspend logic you will be able to find a verse to back up whatever position you chose to take on any subject. 'Also, I'd like to make the argument for all you atheists out there who wonder what "this generation shall not pass" means. Jesus did not fail here. He was simply talking about his resurrection, not the second coming. He said, "there will be some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming." Jesus was right. The disciples did not die and they saw him come back from the dead'. This link should address the above topic http://www.secweb.org/index.aspx?action=viewAsset&id=86 Good luck:wave: . |

Especially if they are very attached to them, and have yet to learn the basic science that regulars here, even if they started being sadly lacking in that side of education, have picked up. I welcome Half Life's questioning, and hope that soon he will realise that losing his faith is liberating, and does not condemn him to immorality and ignorance. David B |

It should be noted that Half-life has a history of this. He starts a thread where he seems to question his faith and then suddenly a few pages later it turns that he really didn't and he goes back to his fundie arguments. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
