So, you don't believe the way the Bible explains it?
Not the one I'm looking at.
I know there is truth throughout the Bible, but it is not written like a history book.
echi,
Which Bible are you looking at?
(sorry, I got locked-up)
The New American Bible.
But I was half joking, though.
Ok, I know nothing about that Bible so I can't speak to that.
Half joking? About what?
I was kidding about not agreeing with my Bible. I doubt any version out there will say everything exactly like I understand it to mean. But I was half joking because I don't believe the Bible is meant to be read that way, anyway.
LOL. Ok, I can sure understand that.
I mean, the Bible can't be read as an accurate historical account. There are inconsistencies. The Holy Spirit must guide the reader.
I definitely agree that the Holy Spirit has to lead the reader.
Nothing like sweet consensus.
That's for sure. I hate some of the arguing that goes on in here sometimes. I really hate it when I let myself get drawn into it.
However transient it may be.
LOL. Yes, it is definitely that!
I'm sure that we can find something to argue about. Go ahead, shoot.
Oh no. I prefer not to argue. I like just exchanging ideas without the attacks on what everyone thinks or believes. I learn much more that way.
Of course. I mean "argue" in a civilized way. Debate. No egos, no assumptions. But I don't want to drag you into anything.
Okay I'll just give you a nudge, then.
What do you think about me being a non-Christian? Am I going to burn?
echi,
That is a question I cannot answer for you. I know what the Bible says. But, I think that God is the only one that can truly answer that question for anyone.
I have no problem with debating or discussing. None at all.
No! The answer is no!
What are you talking about? What does the Bible say, now?
