I am only stating that there are other possibilities that what is quoted in the Bible. It is my theory that the Bible, which may have started out being the word of God, is now the work of MAN. No more no less. Does God exist? Without hessitation, YES. Did he create the heavens and earth? Again, YES. Did His son walk the earth and heal peple? YES. Is the Bible the absolute word of God? Not by a long shot.

For man to write the Bible, whether or not it was inspired by God, is inherently flawed. We are given Free Will. God can not override Free Will, or His creation is Flawed. No matter how much you preach the Bible to be true, it is bound by human nature to be flawed, or wrong. If even one word was added that is not the word of God, then it is no longer true. And I am sure that it has more than one word added to it for people to better understand it. But once you add one word to it, what's another, or another, or another. Soon you have what may have started out being the word of God, but is now the work of man.

Take for instance man's using only the parts of the Bible that he agrees with. No man shall lay with another man. Ok, fair enough. What about the verses that say we should Stone to death any woman that is found to be, basically, a hooker? What about the passage that states we are to Stone to death the children that do not obey thier parents? What do you say to that? Why do we not practice that? Because we are civilized? Or, is is because of the statement, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."? Or is it because we know that that is cruel, and we just plain don't like that part? Or is it because we know deep down inside that the Bible is full of bogus rules, meant to control the masses?

Does the Bible say anything about a woman lying with another woman? I haven't found that verse yet. So, as of now, I have to believe that being homosexual is only ok if you are a woman....something the men of this world would love. If there is a verse that exists, I will gladly retract my last statement, but as I have said, I haven't found it yet.

I believe in God and Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus walked the Earth and was the Great Teacher. Why? Because so much has been written about Him. Not just biblically. The Romans wrote about His crusifiction. So he did die the way that has been described in books from that time period. NOT just the Bible.

Did Noah really gather 2 of every lliving creature? We are meant to believe he did, right? Think of the logistics involved with that. Did Noah go from continant to continant, gathering 2 of everything in the world? Did he make it to Antartica? What about Greenland, Iceland, New Zealand, Austraila, New Hamshire, Norway, every island in all the oceans, England, Wales, etc.? After Gathering them, did he get them all back to where they came from? Or is there a simpler explaination? I am not a historian, so I'll leave that to them, but the point still stands.

Did Moses ever live? Show me one shred of evidence outside the Bible. He wandered the desert for 40 years, right? Show me some artifacts from that wandering. Surely we could find some, we're talking about thousands of people walking around the desert. I'm sure that they left a little bit behind them somewhere.

You keep saying that you feel sorry for me. Don't. I know in my heart that God does in fact exist. I know in my heart that in fact Jesus does exist. I also know in my heart that the Bible is, at best man's attempt to speak for God. Even in the Bible it says that we can not know God. How can you tell me that the Bible, is the Word of God, if we can not know Him, His plans, or His ideas? You, along with millions of others, have been corrupted by the Bible. You, my friend, are one of the flock that has been decieved. Have you ever thought that just maybe the Bible was inspire by Satan? Think about it for a split second before you have a massive brain hemorage. Even the Good Book tells you that the Devil is the most beautiful thing in creation. He is more attractive to man than anything man has ever encountered. What better way to decieve man than with the supposed Word of God? Now, I'm not saying that the Bible is Satan's work. But I am saying that if man changed one word, or exaggerated one story, it is now as useless as a football bat. And what better target to corrupt man, that with God's own word?

Just think about it, for longer than the time it takes you to get all huffy and puffy. Actually let this thought wander around in you head, pray about it, and listen to your heart. Jesus lives in your heart, right? Well, maybe he has some thoughts for you. Who knows?

Later.
