That's such a shallow view of a subject you seem to know very little about...
I never said I understand the Bible better than anyone...you just read things into stuff that aren't there...
When I read the Bible, I take the literal statements literally, and the figurative statements figuratively....
I use common sense, experience, and what knowledge of language and grammar I have to discern the difference...
Then there's hermeneutics, which is the theory and methodology of interpretation of statements, especially scriptural text...
There's an amazing amount of depth to everything in the Bible and man will never agree to all of it's meaning...
But I believe it to be true, all of it...
It's your problem if you don't...

I'd say my knowledge of the Bible is better than most Christians and I've proven that throughout the years here.
On the one hand you admit that parts are allegories and other parts are literal, which parts?
Killing your wife because she's not a virgin on your wedding night.........allegory.
Being gay.....literal.
Sounds like cherry picking to me!Originally posted by vandeleurE- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first placeComment

Santa Claus is a character based on old stories that may or may not be factual. The bible is a book based on stories that may or may not be factual. Over the years the stories have evolved. Those stories you mention might have been based on stories that evolved over thousands of years too. The talking snake might have been a man or woman in the original story. The parting of the sea might have been the story of a dam that was built to make it easier to get from point A to point B. Jonah might have been a man who survived an ordeal at sea by clinging on to a dead whale carcass.
The existence of a supreme being might be inconceivable to people but they're willing to believe the universe evolved out of a ball of gasses that just appeared out of nowhere millions of years ago.Beware of DogComment

My kids believe in Santa Claus but not the Christian God, Santa is of course in their eyes far more plausible...Comment

The irony is that ELVIS no more follows the teachings of the bible on homosexuality than Clay Atkins.
Otherwise he would be in jail for stoning people...Comment

That's not what I said at all......
Technically, the Romans killed Me. But only because SOME of the right wing religious Jews begged them to do so.
Pilate really wanted nothing to do with it, and his wife told him he should stay out of it, but he thought he would be in trouble with Caesar if the Pharisees made a big stink about it. They were still upset because I killed their profit margin in the Temple.Comment

It must be terrible to go through your short lifetime on earth too frightened to enjoy the incredible privilege.
Scared of death
Scared of demons
Scared of an invisible sky daddy punishing you
Scared of government plots
Scared of the new world order
Scared of black people
Scared of gays...Comment
