    Have you read the Bible?

    I very much appreciate your time. You seem open to discuss these issues which I think is so, vitally important. Also, your insight is EXACTLY what I value. As a believer, you have a different mindset than I do. In response to your message, I have a problem with how many people have responded in...

    Have you read the Bible?

    Well, thank you as this is perhaps the first post that has even attempted a direct answer to my question. "He has called us to challenge us to love Him [...] and move on..." Let me attempt to clarify what you're saying by listing a few statements and you can tell me if you do or do not agree...

    Have you read the Bible?

    I believe it is necessary to question what people tell you to believe in order to determine its validity. I was raised christian. I was taught the word of the Bible. After going to college, I began to realize I believed in Christianity, simply because people told me to. So, religion became...
