I need some help guys...(Only those that are Biblically sound)

Well, since scriptures say to "believe in Christ" rather than "believe in Richard" I'm not terribly worried about it.

How do you know that scripture really wants you to believe in Jesus, since it isn't infallible? How do you know which parts are true, and which parts aren't?

 

[RichardT]

Im glad its not up to you.

Well I'm glad nothing is up to you either, and I am free to rebute you at any time without using derogative terms or without adhering to the ad-hominem fallacy.

 

[JacobHall86]

So why do you believe that Jesus is God? Because someone told you, or because the Bible said so?

Probably because He changed her life like mine. Thats why.

Her ideas are Liberal Baptist. She can post here.

Unless you play by the rules, you cant tell her to. BTW, there is no set "Baptist Beliefs" thats what makes the Baptist CHurches unique.

She is Methodist. It says in the rules, she can't debate here.

So now the Bible is equal to any man's decision?

You say that, but you have done that, sent me to fstdt.com and dropped the F bomb.

Your icon does not say Baptist.

GET OUT OF MY FORUM NON-BAPTIST.

I think the person that needs to answer these questions is you, BCF. I don't have a problem with studying the Bible, Biblical scholars, history, archaeology, etc. to decide, on my own, what parts make sense, what parts do not, what parts speak of timeless truths and which parts speak to ancient and outdated mythology. The person who has a problem with that is... you.

Matthew 7:24-29



24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

The Bible was written by men.

I have a Bible that contains all truth. That's all that is need to understand the world. You have the World, and if the Bible fits into your world view, it is true. That's call a house built on sand, and Jesus said your house will fall. You need to repent.

No, God wrote the Bible, and men were the pens.

Because God in his omnipotence would leave us with a book full of myths and lies, this is not my God.

 

[JacobHall86]

No really, you arent Baptist, get out of my Forum.

God, in his omnipotence, could simply speak directly to every person in the world. But doesn't.

[BigChrisfilm]

Ok, so now, are you sure you believe in God at all?

 

[JacobHall86]

Chris you are not baptist, do not debate in the Baptist forum.
