    I'm curious. If it wasn't for the Catholic Church's scribes......

    .... what would the Bible be like today? Supposing if there would be a Bible at all if the church hadn't recorded its passages?

    Should Scripture Be Taken Literally?

    I watched a debate between Richard Dawkins and Cardinal Pell last night in which Cardinal Pell professes that the Catholic Church views the story of the Garden of Eden as "...a beautiful, sophisticated, mythological account." and that "...it’s a religious story told for religious purposes."...

    The significance of 1844 in Bible Prophecy

    As we are now in the year 2017, the year 1844 seems to be now a distant past. In reality it is only recent History and the early to mid 1800's were a time of great expectation. The world was starting to change rapidly in thought, technologies and science. Many signs that the Bible foretold were...

    Isiah 45:7.

    Isiah 45:7 a somewhat overlooked passage of the Old Testament. but the one quote that is from the King James version is " I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." the verse itself is quite metaphoric though I don't think that was the...

    Why do Christians care so much about abortion?

    I oppose elective abortion. I even get a bit emotional about it. That's entirely based on my personal morality, science, and secular humanism. I also realize that many Christians base their morality on humanism. I am glad that so many Christians don't base their morality on the codes and beliefs...

    Is Sola Scriptura Unbiblical?

    If any sort of theological position is to be proven using the Bible, then it must follow that the Bible has to teach that only the Bible is the source of theological truth. What would you say if someone said that Sola Scriptura is unbiblical?

    Hypocrisy in religion

    I was wondering what people's thoughts were on hypocrisy in religion, particularly Christianity. Many people talk about the hypocrisy of believers not living as they claim to believe. But in Christianity itself, hypocrisy can be observed as well. In addition to contradicting itself, the Bible...

    Homosexuality

    This is something I had saved in an old livejournal blog. It was originally posted on a forum I was a part of in the early 2000's, though I am uncertain where the article itself first originated. It resonated with me when I first read it, and therefore I have decided to share it here. It is...

    Missing Gospels?

    It has been alleged by Bible conspiracy theorists that there are gospels that were submitted to be included in the Bible, but were decided not to be included because they did not portray Jesus as divine, but as a man. These include Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Judas...

    How do you decide what's most important in scripture?

    Most often said? Most plainly said? Most terse? Most plain? do you have a hermeneutic for that? (hermeneutic and eureka coming from the same greek word) And there are always those feisty short bursts... see The stacccato psalms

    Are rapists going to Hell?

    As enlightened and compassionate as modern society has become towards gender equality, women continue in many ways to be second class citizens, if not outright slaves. Women in some countries and cultures obviously have it better than others. The extent to which family and obligation play into...

    Are Killers going to Hell?

    An unfortunate part of organized society is that a few of its members will have their lives ended unnaturally by others. Not every killing is the same as another, and secular society provides for circumstances where it is more acceptable to kill another, or at least, won't punish as severely...

    The Bible Says Satan is Zeus

    For some reason I've never in my life seen anyone on these forums and in general even mention or ask about how in the Christian Bible the New Testament indirectly states that Satan is the ancient pagan Greek God Zeus. "Revelation 2:12-13 In Pergamon, where Satan's Throne is" "The Pergamon...

    Examples of hatred and violence in the Bible

    Often Christians will argue that the violence attributed to their god in the Bible was justified by someone's sin or necessary for some greater purpose. When I was a Christian, I accepted this argument as well, but I was unaware of the extent of violence depicted in the Bible. After research for...

    The ONE book?

    As someone considering Buddhism as an active faith and apologies in advance if it sounds like I'm insulting you, but i've noticed many pieces of incoherent nonsense throughout the Bible that serve as an odd mix of fiction and spirituality. Examples: The slaying of Goliath where David slays a...
