1 Spiritual Growth / Dangerous Questions / Re: Contradictions in the Bible on: January 25, 2012, 08:40:22 AM
Started by Anxiety - Last post by Paul
You don't. The bible is a compilation of many different stories written over different times, reflecting many different perspectives. Each story is a stand alone book. Humans then took the books, put them together as a spiritual perspective on how they felt the universe worked. So of course there will be contradictions. As in Philosophy, everyone has a different opinion, even great philosophers are in contradiction of each other.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/aah/index.htm Does Christianity run contrary to our normative ideas of romantic love, or does it directly inform it? How was the relationship between Abelard and Heloise affected by the notions of fidelity, chastity, and a relationship with God?

Quote Paul: ...the problem comes in when the history happened before there was any manner of documentation. The story of the fall is prehistoric -- that is, there are no correlate written accounts during whatever time the fall supposedly happened and the accounts as they are contained in the Old Testament. This is of course, because (presumably) writing was not yet discovered. New Testament Bible stories do not share this feature. In fact, during the time of Jesus there were plenty of Roman historians. These historians recorded even the most mundane of details, yet we don't seem to get any correlative accounts and the accounts in the New Testament. What does this do to your definition of truth?

Quote Paul : Lee - taking your thought of God's grace being the only qualifier for an afterlife, and accepting that God 's way is beyond our comprehension to fathom, why is there such a disdain for other religions? If Jesus was sacrificed for all mankind to allow God's grace to be the primary entry, does your religion contemplates that it knows what the parameter of God's grace is? This has been a confusing aspect that I haven't been able to discovery where humans suddenly are on the same mental plane as God. I don't think it's so much a disdain for other religions but exposing false doctrines that confuse and lead people away from God and the truth. There is no human on the same plane as God but God's own word states that by God's grace we are saved so the parameters to receive that grace would be repentance,belief and faith. Is not God's grace applied only to believers? Do you believe God's word lacks clarity concerning salvation? Quote If he could accept another religion as being viable, why does this generation unable to do so? If we look at Acts 17:22-23 we find the Athenian's have lots of gods and altars that they worship, but they had this feeling that they may have left one out and they don't want to offend him. They don't know who he is so to aviod any unnecessary offense they concede and put up an altar to an unknown God. Interesting! Paul recognized that they were a very religious and noble people searching for the one true God but they couldn't find Him. Paul told the Athenian's they were ignorant of the very thing they were worshiping. Paul knew they didn't know God and Paul wants them to know they don't know God. The rest of chapter 17 Paul explains to them about their false worship and God's coming judgement if they do not repent. Paul accepted there religiosity as viable not their religion as viable. Those are 2 different things entirely. This is the exact same concept that we see in all world religions today. Human beings have an innate desire to be religious but the problem begins when we try to reach God on our own terms rather than His.

Quote from: Anxiety on October 15, 2011, 03:18:12 PM Quote One death affects us all. If I were to die, I would leave behind a family, friends, debts, a cat... even someone as isolated as myself would affect others by death. If they're also Christian shouldn't those friends be happy that you'll be dead and going on to heaven? Quote Besides that, being in a hospital is uncomfortable, painful, and humiliating. Would you really wish that on someone, or even yourself? These things all seem rather insignificant compared to an eternal afterlife of happiness. Humans are infamously short sighted.

Clarification - The apocalypse does not get rid of evil, but places the power of good over it. Can go into all kinds of metaphysical meanings here. It does note, that Heaven will be on Earth in a great city, but that no evil will be allowed within it's walls.Revelations 22:14. Which allows for recurring evil. God does not vanquish evil but resides with it eternally. Yin and Yang forever. Atomic structure, the basic of the universe, the model of life. Positive and negative forces around a neutral area.
