In your 'Logical speculation exercises', God will always be important most important! Whether there is a God or not, whether, you believe there is a God or not; God will always be most important.
No matter what you believe Love is most important as God is Love, and for any society to survive...
Sorry to hear that. I see you are listed as Atheist, which means you do not believe in an after life I guess. That is fine, I felt that way too at one time and sometimes I think I still might. Thousands of years from now who will remember, even my great great..... children will not even know who...
Very good post, I just wish more people would think this way. I do feel other people and Gods creation should be treated as sacred, because they are part of Gods creation who is most sacred.
Thank you for a great post!
Hello Ellen,
I don't usually get involved in these types of discussions as I do not think they are important, on these things I do not feel it is a salvation type issue. But it seems like when it gets late everyone goes to bed, and there is not anything else I feel I want to comment on...
Ah, you replied while I was responding, I will reply to this as well.
You are basically right, the EditCatholics and Orthodox did canonize parts of the Apocrypha, I don't think they canonized all of the Apocrypha but most of it, making it part of the Holy Bible. The Protestants and Judaism do...
As I remember, I would need to verify some of what I am writing to make sure I am correct, as it has been a long time since I have studied this. So you may find fault with some of this.
I think there is a story in Mark? that was completely left out that was in the original KJV, and of course...
List of books of the King James Version - Wikipedia
Here is a list of the books of the bible, as you mention you may have a bible containing the Apocrypha, but not all bibles will use the same books of the Apocrypha according to the religion that made the bible. I will let you look at this...
Well you don't need to turn far as there should be an available cheek that is easily accessible. For us older folks who have become a bit immobile and our memories are fading, all you need to remember is you have two cheeks on the backside also, making a cheek available in most situations.
Hello Rider,
The books mentioned are the Apocrypha, and are not considered holy texts, but history. They were positioned after the Holy texts of the OT as the Apocrypha, and before the texts of the NT.
They were only included and intended as history, not as Holy texts. The reason they are not...
Lets not forget, if A&E had not ate from the forbidden tree, there would have been no reason for God to destroy the earth with a flood. Hence no oceans, so we would have more landmass to occupy.
Wow, I could own a bigger lot since there is so much more landmass so now I would not have any...
Hello Jim, I do not know if I am one of the people your are looking for, only you can judge what you are looking for. I do feel most people here only want to, discredit others and defend their beliefs. I feel the whole world has gone mad this way, whether it be religion, politics, environment...
No, I can not. I do not think the Catholics are evil, pagan, satanic, ETC.... I guess I would fall under the Christian Protestant label. However, I have a great respect for the Catholic Church, and love their services ( I like them the best of all I have been to). For myself I just do not relate...
