sincerly said:]Hi Bobby, Yes, I do pick the Bible to be the truth it is. You pick the Bible to be a myth and the Creator GOD the Bible declares,also, to be a myth---to fit your "worldview."
What is odd is your anger/displeasure/frustration/etc that (according to you) some one else believes in a "god" that is a myth and what that myth says goes against/contradicts all that you apparently see as fact. "IF" it were really a myth in your estimation,--------why does it bother you?
I love when this happens See, when one cant defend the position they jump to a few different outs one of those outs is the youre angry card. There is a big difference between anger (fury and rage, which your god often shows on his people) and being appalled and disgusted (shocked and horrified). Also I dont get this mentality that since you believe in a god, your life means more than mine your arrogance is atrocious (not to be mixed up with me being angry), it saddens me that you cant see it. You dont have some moral high ground because you have a god to tell you killing is wrong (although you have decided at times it is perfectly justifiable) or that you shouldnt commit adultery or steal. Most non believers dont do these types of things because they are bad and could hurt other people. Not doing things because the big eye in the sky is watching or not doing something in hopes of getting a reward (heaven) isnt moral anyway, its very immoral. Please dont mix up the word facts when talking about god, the only fact is that there is no evidence that god exists. As far as you asking me dont I have the same power to choose as you do? No, its the other way around, you have the power to choose as I do, however you need a god to lay out how and how you shouldnt act. Thou shalt not kill, except when its ok because I can justify it in the bible you do realize the contradiction here correct?
There are lots of reasons morals developed, we dont have to suppose a god did them. Also why would you ask why I care? Isnt this a forum to debate religious topics??? If you dont want to defend your position, why are you posting in the DEBATE section?
Those people would know the Law and would have chosen to disobey GOD. Therefore, it is the people who are unloving and defiant. GOD in his Love and Mercy has warned the people vocally and in the written law. How many times, did this merciful god show his wrath and killed countless amounts of HIS OWN PEOPLE, we have a word for that its called Genocide.
So I am looking for something empirical and falsifiable, if you cant provide either, your claim is bogus.
First, that "etc." indicates/includes the ""being appalled and disgusted (shocked and horrified). "" seen in this post as your response to someone else's belief in GOD and that GOD'S messages being contrary to your own beliefs.
Second, The warning was given and the penalty named. Don't eat of that tree. When/if you Do, you shall die. The adversary said, "ye shall not surely die". Who spoke the truth? Mankind has been dying since that event.
You tried to twist my contextual statement concerning the power of choice. ALL choose between things/information/beliefs/etc.
I want to comment on this comment of yours previously:
Moses wrote/recorded information from GOD. There were people who were to read these written laws yearly in the presence of the congregation yearly. Also, there were scribes who recorded the history of the Nation of Israel and leaders of the people, especially. Also, how GOD lead and intervened during that time ---That's empirical.
As far as "falsifiable", many have tried to do such since the serpent in the Garden.
"mentality"/"arrogance" are claims "jumped to" which are false. GOD, nor the ones HE told to "Go and teach," desires anything from the world's population but the have a humble and contrite heart in Repentance and Obedience to the "whatsoever I have told you" and done in one's behalf.
Where-ever I look, I see evidence which proclaims that GOD does exist.
Genocide may be your term, but since one can choose to repent and live, the term is "Suicide".
Ok this is becoming circular, youre trying to prove the bible by using the bible. There is no historical evidence of Moses, none of an exodus. Your evidence fails sir.

What better source than the Creator GOD who made all things. No One has yet produced anything which has "LIFE". Man has "produced" much "Theory" as to why there is no GOD, but the evidence is lacking for the validity of where the first thing has come from "Nothing"----much less produced "LIFE"
Your "theories fail sir."
It is strange that other sources refuse the acknowledge the BIBLE or people therein, but acknowledge that other nations whose people did have contact with the Israelites do acknowledge the facts of their existance and their GOD.
but the bible says it's the word of god :sarcastic

one wonders why the creator resorted to a fallible way of communicating his will...via 3rd person.
when it's raining i don't need anyone to explain it's raining...
the rain speaks for itself...
but apparently god isn't as obvious as the rain.
Waitasec, Moses gathered all the camp at the foot of MT. Sinai and Spoke HIS Will audible to the people. HE wrote the Decalogue on tablets of stone. And when the people were afraid---they asked Moses to HEAR and "Whatever the LORD says, We will do". Moses relayed all the LORD had said to the people and wrote them as well to be placed by the side of the Ark.
GOD is faithful and steadfast---Mankind is deceitful.
sorry, "because the bible tells me so" isn't evidence...it's wishful thinking, iow...it's faith.
why are you dissing faith by trying to contort it into fact?
i don't get it....
Fact is fact, it is you who deny that the Creator GOD is real and what the Scriptures say is a myth.
Nor will you understand the reality of it until you accept there is a Creator GOD. But that is your choice.
Why are you denying that GOD is real and claiming the Scriptures are myths?? note: your hint.define fact.
hint....it's more than a feeling.
so why are you dissing faith again?
Why are you denying that GOD is real and claiming the Scriptures are myths?? note: your hint.
who says i'm denying god is real? i won't commit to one or the other because i don't know nor will i pretend to.
the version of god in the scriptures is pure fantasy...
the thought that one can fathom this idea called god is like putting the unimaginable to the imaginable...why would you want to do that?
the rain speaks for itself...your god can't
I had to stop trying to speak reason to this guy, you tell him where evidence is lacking and he uses that at evidence...it’s wild.
I tell him there is no historical or archeological evidence that Moses ever existed and there is absolutely no historical and archeological evidence of an exodus and he proceeds to say, well when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt into the desert...he isn’t even making good arguments.

not only is it a embarrassment to humanity, its the exact reason why creation is outlawed from poisoning our childrens minds in public school's.
when you get people that are really really old and set in their ways, there so close to death, they go overboard with theology to try and overcome the sin's they committed during their life. [the book has them scared of whats to come so they overcompensate]
