Yeah, jews for jesus. I talked to my friend martha about that over the weekend. She's jewish...and she said that mainstream Judaism regards messianic jews as somewhat nutzo.... I understand why Jews would consider them to be nutty, but I respect them. Besides, the apostles were Jewish Christians and,

I thought I had read you wrong, that's why I asked. I respect your beliefs, but I still find it the 'written by fallible humans who makes mistakes BUT it's God's divine word' confusing. Well, it's the Spirit that guided the writers of the books of the Bible. When the Spirit works through us, God is gui

I can't say I agree with that site. I'm reading the Old Testament right now, and despite what the site said, it does appear that God wanted more than just people "to act good." He doesn't take too kindly to "good people" worshipping false gods. Besides, in the Torah, all three parts of God are mentioned (i.e. the Word of the Lord, the Spirit, and the Father). One of the problems with the site is its "politically correct" of Jesus: "Some respect him

Well, let's start with the obvious....the messiah. Jews don't agree that christ was the messiah. That's kind of a big deal, don't you think? Yes, but I was thinking of something like something about Judaism that Christianity denies (much like how Muslims and Mormons deny certain aspects of the Bible).

As for the Acts of John, it's pretty much the same problem, which is why too it wasn't canonized. Here's a table of the church fathers' view on the many books considered for canonization and here's a summary of how the OT and the NT were canonized. What doesn't mix well

So, you give more weight to a relatively modern book than you do to the Gospel Of Thomas, for example? Interesting.... Well, one reason is we know that Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. The Gospel of Thomas, however, doesn't seem to have been written by the apostle as the book claims. As the Cyril of Je

I think the Bible is a complete document. However, that does not mean other books have no value. As a Protestant, I do not consider some of the books that the Catholics view as divinely inspired as divinely inspired. However, they are still valuable, just like Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and other books that aren't part of God's revelation are still valuable. However, the pseudepigraphal books (i.e. the Gnostic books) are on par with the Da

I got answers, but I had further questions.....like if it's the 'royal we' scenario, how come it's not used anywhere else in the bible?

But, to presume that I am without a moral compass because I am not Christian is racist, discriminatory, and no better than any other religion-based nation. I don't see how it's racist. Besides, I don't see anybody saying that non-Christians have no moral compasses. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="9

In the context of my statement, what they need to believe is supernatural. Oh, so we're not discussing people who believe in stereotypes and who are atheists because they need to believe it?

Of course, but we're supposed to be discussing the supernatural! JEEZ! Are you and Baker trying to take this thread even more off-topic than it already is I thought we were discussing people who dismiss the rational in favor of what they need to believe. That's one reason will generalize groups i

Unless you're saying you know some Atheists who have been confronted with undeniable evidence of the supernatural, I don't think you statement is relevant to mine. Maybe it's only me, but one can be closed-minded even on non-supernatural subjects. For example, Bakerstreet made many great points about ho

Reply to The Bible in Religion JoeUser Forums

I should be doing other things right now, but I want to give my two cents, so here it goes: The Bible does not tell of Jesus' life between 12 and 21ish probably because it wasn't that important to us. It's like how the Bible does not mention the names of Adam and Eve's other children besides, Cain, Abel, and Seth, nor does it mention the exact number of children they had. The manuscripts we have of the Bible are much older than the 11
