Shouldn't this cancer have been excised over 2 thousand years ago?
In this day and age I honestly can't believe people take all this this literally and seriously.
Downpoot away, it has to be said.
There's more historically provable fact in the Bible than most people realize, and as a result I give the out there stuff a lot of credit bc when the simple stuff bears out in fact there's a good chance the out there stuff might too, and I just can't comprehend it.
That's the thing though. People can always point to some actual historical thing but that doesn't mean all of it is automatically true. Also, I had a friend who had a whole list of contradictions that he'd carry around and argue with people about (like at the fair or whatever, like go to the church booths and stuff).
I'm not saying the thing is useless as a guide for certain things, but I definitely don't believe there was a flood with ONE surviving human family (plus what of all the animal species not on the boat), or that everyone descended from a couple known as Adam and Eve (did they have navels?) etc.
If there is a God, and there may be, I would be firmly in the Deist camp about the matter.
This is the problem right here.
God is All. Everything. Bigger than humans can imagine, so we make him over in our own image.
All those names for various deities are not God. They exist within God.
In addition, people confuse Jehovah with God. He is not. I pretty much ignore the Old Testament except for historical purposes.
Stick with the New Testament.
Ask Christ to introduce you to God.
In the meantime, this ministry discusses who the OT god really is.

Mmm hmm.
People are capable of extracting the message from the story. If you’re going to complain about people taking something they read literally, try not being a hypocrite when you do it.
I AM a deist and even I know better than to be a dick about it. You’re entitled to your opinions, it’s just that no one here wants to hear it.
Get over yourself.
