    Jesus was Mithra Re-Hashed?

    Taken from this article: NEXUS: Forged Origins of the New Testament (I've posted this link in another thread but it seemed to be pertinent to both so forgive the repetition)

    Why are Catholic Bibles "bigger"?

    Are any of you familiar with the Sinaiticus? (the earliest Bible ever found). It's somewhat smaller than you are used to today. More info here: NEXUS: Forged Origins of the New Testament

    Concerning the One True God:

    Sorry, point I was making was that maybe there is "one true God". The debate only begins when you add the different religious groups.

    God Is Not A Tolerant God

    It is my opinion that God did not write these wrods. They are the words of men, written nearly 2 thousand years ago in a time when the masses were uneducated. It is man that is intolerant. We have free will and these writings only serve to enslave man. We would live happier lives if we...

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    If you are going to debunk gravity, there's little point discussing anything!!! I wasn't suggesting that I thought "God has to be limited to the contraints of time". In was in response to foa suggestion that atheists who don't believe in some kind of beginning are in denial meaning there was a...

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    Are you suggesting that scientists rely on faith to explain gravity???? When did God begin? Who created the creator?

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    Is that so suprising though when you consider how ambiguous and contradictory it is? It defies all logic and common sense and I think that many Bible readers struggle with that conflict.

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    How about thinking for yourselves? It doesn't make you a wicked sinful person. To quote learned gentleman: "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that...

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    I'm sorry, but that's a cop out. The Bible is so bloody ambiguous. Anyone can read it, interpret it how they see fit and then act upon it free in the knowledge that "The interpretation of that truth is left to us".

    Historical Accuracy of the Bible

    I think you'll find that this source was found to be a forgery hundreds of years ago.

    How could a sensible person believe in the bible?

    I put it to you that when they find the original first page of the Bible which says "Written for my darling Wife, all characters depicted are fictional and bear no resemblance to any persons living or dead" will you have a hard time "back peddling"? What will the Bible following religions say...

    Historical Accuracy of the Bible

    That's my take on it to and I couldn't have put it better myself. As an intersting footnote (and forgive me if someone else has written this......I didn't read every post :o ), of the twenty or so historians who lived in or around the time of Jesus Christ (as defined by the Bible), not one of...

    How does one interpret Bible?

    I have read with interest the answers to this thread. The different views and indeed interpretations by the members reveal to me that this one book is indeed a confusing piece of literature. Would you like to know my interpreation of the Bible? I believe it (the OT) was written a long time...

    How does one interpret Bible?

    I agree that the Bible does tend to use old language ad nauseum. There is a number of plain language rewrites or reading assists available but then this only underscores the whole topic of 'interpretation'. I am, I suppose, interested in the thoughts and views of people who subscribe to the...

    How does one interpret Bible?

    I'm curious Michel and, if it's not too personal a question; can you give an example of when the Bible didn't agree with your thoughts? Just following this line of reasoning; is it not possible that during rewrites of the bible, scholars wrote down their interpretations thereby changing the...

    How does one interpret Bible?

    There is something that I don't understand in the Bible Vassal: The book of Genesis. This throws up the argument of Creationism or, the spin version; Intelligent Design. I have not researched this fully but I am aware of conflict in the school system in some of the states in America over the...
