The Bible needs to be changed

stevewonder, take a ballpoint pen and strike 'em out if it makes you feel better! (You sure meet some flakes on here!)

here's a Stevie Wonder joke...

-- Have you seen Stevie Wonder's new girlfriend?
-- No.
-- Neither has he!

Yeah , cool Thomas Jefferson thought the bible NT needed an edit, and did it twice, it's called the Jefferson Bible. Check out his ideas on religion. He was a Jesus fan and basically an "atheist". Me too .....

Yeah I have met some Athiest christians, who think Jesus said good things but dont believe in G.d
My suggestion is for ALL BIBLES to be re-edited, they should create a panel of Clergy, priests, rabbis and athiest, everyone sit down and discuss what is not acceptable in the 21st Century, but I think we can all agree the anti-semitic stuff needs to come out first of all.

Well, Paul made the claim that the entire bible was inspired truth. (2Timothy 3:16)

So what you are saying is we should scrap the entire bible and go on our own collective smarts. Or, that we are smarter than God.

Interesting idea first posed in Genesis chapter 3.

Or, perhaps one should endeavor to find out what the bible actually says.

I can assure you that what you have proposed is a straw man.

... or more to the point, the new testament.

Tis the season of good will and we are told that Jesus is the reason for the season, so now would be a good time to start the campaign to get the Bible re-edited.

We should go through the Bible deleting and removing all verses that are anti-semitic or call for violence and hate.

All Bibles that have not been edited should be removed from circulation and should now on only be found in Museums.




ALL ANTISEMITIC AND VIOLENT VERSES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BIBLE IN ANY FUTURE PRINTS, ALL OLD BIBLES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM CIRCULATION.

Here are some examples that should be deleted from the Bible:

Quote:

New American Standard Bible
For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
John 5:18

Quote:

King James Bible
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
Acts 23: 27

people reading this stuff justify the hatred and racism, like the poor guy attacked on the train.

People like the KKK and nazis use these verses to justify spreading hate.

I know some Christians are going to say 'we all killed jesus' which is nice, but sorry I didnt even meet the guy let alone have anything to do with his death.

so lets remove this hate verses.

Well, Paul made the claim that the entire bible was inspired truth. (2Timothy 3:16)

Who's paul? The one who was Jesus disciple?

Man Cuts Off, Microwaves His Own Hand

HAYDEN, Idaho (AP) -- A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.

The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff's deputies arrived Saturday in this northern Idaho town. He was in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Center.

"It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived," sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. "He put a tourniquet on his arm before, so he didn't bleed to death. That kind of mental illness is just sad."

It was not immediately clear whether the man has a history of mental illness. Hospital spokeswoman Lisa Johnson would not say whether an attempt was made to reattach the hand, citing patient confidentiality.

The Book of Revelation in the New Testament contains a passage in which an angel is quoted as saying: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink the wine of God's fury."

The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."

Wolfinger said he didn't know which hand was amputated.

My suggestion is for ALL BIBLES to be re-edited, they should create a panel of Clergy, priests, rabbis and athiest, everyone sit down and discuss what is not acceptable in the 21st Century, but I think we can all agree the anti-semitic stuff needs to come out first of all.
