I think you just did.

And if you are supposed to follow these rules in order to be a true Christian, why do people like Drnaline do as they please, invent their own morality and rules and still claim to be Christians?

You think I just did what? If you think I've been telling you that the Bible should never have been taken literally you are wrong yet again. It may have escaped your notice that I have actually been saying that the Bible should be taken literally if you wish to call yourself a Christian.

Or do Christians all over the world now believe that The Bible is just a simple guidebook not to be taken literally? Which bits are metaphor and which are true accounts then? And who decides?

If Diety is indeed unknowable by the human mind in its totality how is it any religious book is anything but a guide? I'm not Christian just for the record and haven't been to church since liesure suits were still popular

Freewill. I like the part about being judged by an none believing atheist.

Wrong yet again so there is no need to explain.

I could see if we actually believed that God wrote the Bible by his own hand.

\

The teachings Jesus valued the self by honoring others with what we would want for ourselves. He acknowledged that the word of God as was enforced had been twisted, and that it could be twisted. He tells christians to value their own judgement, because men of good nature are followed by God and he will direct them, Knock on the door and he will answear, call and he will come, sound familiar? The idea is to use the Bible to learn about the way of God, but he will guide when there is no more need for it.

morn.

I can't stop laughing!!! Here is a self professed atheist who is stating "the Bible should be taken literally if you wish to call yourself a Christian."

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

For someone who "doesn't" believe in God, you sure have a lot to say about Christianity! Obviously, you just don't know what to think.

The truth is that to not beleive in God is much more difficult than to believe...the burden of proof is on you.

Well the way it sounds to me is there is no such things as Christians, as none of us are perfect. And it's such a shame, i thought i had a handle on this religous thing, LOL?

No it doesn't sound familiar, why should it?

So you are saying conclusively that the Bible is merely a guide to Christianity and all you need to do to be a Christian is ask "God" for guidance? That's fine, I just didn't realise it was so easy. I shall remember to ask him when I'm on my death bed, just to be on the safe side.

Compared with Harry Potter or something.

What part is that? I haven't read it.

So by stating freewill you are saying that you can do whatever you please and still be a Christian? If that is the case why does the Bible teach morality? I will ask you once again, what does it take to get into heaven?
