Yes.IMO The harmful verses imo are the ones that turn human against human or make one human feel greater or lesser than another or which promote guilt and fear ie
any verse that runs contrary to God's Blessing to the whole of humanity via the vehicle of Noah and his sons (everlasting...
I know it is a fact for me, that is good enough for me. But why I think this is because God never said this to Noah and his sons. I think the scene that happened after the Flood is of extreme importance to humanity. God used the phrase ..for everlasting generations 2/3 times. If God was touchy...
Some very informative posts on here already!
In my OP ......
The only way to prove or disprove this is for people to re-read say Genesis and state what new things/meanings they have found and whether their view of God has changed in any way ....
Are You Willing To participate? If so what have...
Putin is irrelevant. Russia's economy is in trouble and is now about the size of Spain's. He has enemies at home so he attacks LGBT etc because it is popular in Russia to do so as well as sowing international discord
This is what I did, how I got to where I got to what I believe what I have posted in other threads.
I allowed my child- like self, who thought God beautiful, wondrous and kind, and took yet another look at the Bible. I started it in 2000, when I broke free from Falun Gong and returned to the...
Putin's agenda is to sow discord in the west, always has been. Liberalism has a long fighht on its hands, but the time of right wing populist personality leaders won't last long...
and how is it your business that you presume to tell me I cannot. I am a member of society. I am an ex-member of the Jewish faith still carrying the physical and mental scars....who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do
If a verse exists that even one young impressionable mind can be...
There is no such thing as blasphemy. When God Blessed us all and gave us his Covenant in Gen 9 where did God mention blasphemy?. Blasphemy is an invention of self-interested controlling tribes, to keep the plebs in check.
The Blessing and Covenant is as important for what it does not contain...
God has not been in this world since Gen 9:19. Everything that you read about God not being merciful is tribal self-interest babble. The point is that God demonstrated to us what mercy is ie re Adam and Eve and Cain. IMO you must read the Bible as I am described above ie
I started to read and...
....and so Abel was sacrificed (and no doubt that would have been Abel's greatest wish because he loved God so much) by God to show the world that anger is wrong,and that as God spared Cain, God shows us what mercy is and that God is merciful.BUT God does not interfere here due to our choice...
Only use chabad transalation imo
This is what I did, how I got to where I got to. I allowed my child- like self, who thought God beautiful, wondrous and kind, and took yet another look at the Bible. I started it in 2000, when I broke free from Falun Gong and returned to the teachings of my...
Not sure what you mean. They did continue living, after eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, after they were banished. They could no longer get access to the Tree of Life, ie immortality, which is what they lost. IMO if they had not eaten from the forbidden tree, they would have...

No provided the court was reminded of the significance to the whole world of Gen 9:7
All our ancestors, the ancestors of muslims, christians and jews satanists and atheists and hindus and bahai
etc etc
I strongly disagree with
Those are books written by weaving verses from the scriptures of one religion or another into some of the best knowledge and wisdom for living, from all sources
This must come from the religions. The religions are the ones that can brainwash, make their flock feel...
A shocked pikachu face? Then you have not been the target of violent anti-semitism as I have, you have not watched israelis and arabs fight with knives over a row about God. You haven't lost an eye, like a muslim acquaintance I knew did, over his religion. You haven't tried to committ suicide...
