Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

You're just angry at God for whatever reason in this and all your other posts. Therefore, I can't really take your claim of God being dishonest very serious. If you truly think God is dishonest then maybe you're just being intellectually lazy and don't want to try to actually understand God's Word. Why do you think the writer of Genesis put that in there in that way? Do you think they were just idiots and made an obvious mistake? No, it's deep and has to be understood on a deeper level. Which is why you need the helper: the holy Spirit to understand the Word of God.
You really should read the Adam and Eve myth some day. The serpent was the only honest one in the story.

I have not forgotten what you have presented. It has been shown to be erroneous, irrelevant and ambiguous.

The similarity of flood stories equivalent to the global flood described in the Bible is limited to only some cultures and those are known to have spread the story through cultural contamination. The global flood story is not as universal as is claimed.

I have seen all that you have presented, refuted numerous times.

That Chinese character is one of my favorites. You never actual show it means anything.

Re divers flood stories the essence of
being a " there are no coincidences " believer
is to ignore anything that does not match.

The essence of debating with nonsense
" successfully" is to drop a claim then
disappear for a few weeks.
 

Muffled

Jesus in me
But unlike a shipwreck that makes sense, the snake story does not match reality

I believe it does not match our reality. We don't have any talking reptilians. We also don't have dinosaurs but we accept that they existed because of the evidence left behind. I accept the Bible as evidence because it is God telling the story.

But there is no evidence that there even is a God.
AND, if there is, why would he tell tales
that are so plainly not true?
I mean, seriously, Noah's ark?

I believe it says something about you that you prefer to believe the trickster rather than God.
You have that backwards. I believe that if God exists he is not a liar.

You people that believe that the Bible is literally true believe that God is a liar. And I can prove that. You probably do not understand this because you lack an education in the sciences.


I will ask this question again: Do you believe that there was a Flood of Noah? If you do then you, not me, are calling God a liar.

Ha. You only have to show Adam appeared to
be a young man the instant he came into being.

Same with millions of years embedded earth age

Its omohalos, embedded age! Not a lie.

Omphalos is still a deliberate attempt to deceive. But I do love me some Last Thursdayism in the morning.

So God was lying to make Adam as an adult.
Don't be silly.
No, the whole omphalos argument is silly. In the myth we do not know if Adam had a belly button or not. Claiming that he had one or did not have one is an unjustified and indefensible claim. It really does not matter since it would make no difference to either Adam or Eve if they had belly buttons since they never knew what caused them. But to make the world with a false history is a totally different matter.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

God stories by a man one self hu man.

Lives on stone one mass sealed earth.

Is one self a theist.

Lots of one self man men agreed upon same thesis.

A large man male group agreed on one same thoughts satanism science.

Human thoughts. Conscious self one human. The theist. Not God thoughts. Thoughts how to convert God.

Claiming falsely to speak on behalf of what he thought about.

Everything existed.

His thoughts did not own existence.

What a man group scientist lies about

He is the theist about why planet earth one mass exists.

Yet if it did not exist his human consciousness would also not exist.

God the body did not tell you. You self advised as a theist. A human man.

The origin of man lying.

Theism.

Then he built machine. Pretend God.

Yet it owned no reaction.

Man creator reacts machine then claimed power of God by reaction.

God never told him. God was not reacting

He researched past history of changes to God. Put natural man thoughts where no man in life existed.

His first act of evil.

Placing man science thoughts before self man existence encoded machine feedback AI speaking voice. So he thought it a God when it was man science theism.

Only hear speaking of voice unnaturally in brain chemical change.

Radiation extra effect. To hear voice and see images recorded in atmospheric transmitting body.

Which basically means only the Messiah can truly reveal the scriptures (Isaiah 29:18).

In my opinion. :innocent:
“The Messiah”? Jesus stated otherwise…
Luke 10:21.
We (Christians of course) have to use the Holy Scriptures, as the basis / support for our beliefs.

Since God (Jesus’ Father) is the one who reveals His word, we need His approval…. and that comes from obedience to Him! And His Son.

John 15:14….as opposed to Titus 1:16; Jesus even said He would deny some claiming to be His followers, because of their lawless works. — Matthew 7:21-23.

So, are there *false* Christians? According to Jesus (the Leader of that club): yes.
