And 100% of Christians ever born, alive today, and will be alive tomorrow agree that God exists.Theres 40,000 sects each with different opinions,
I doubt any two posters here agree on that perfect interpretation.

If you want to believe Christians have 40,000 different sects, you can also believe that, whether they have 40,000 or 400,000, they ALL believe God exists.
Yes, I know.Her comments weren't about the "40000" showing there was no god, it was about the usefulness of literalism if even literalists can't agree on how do do things "biblically".

It's practical enough to ascertain with 100% agreement that God exists though, isn't it?That adopting literalism as a means of obtaining certainty about the meaning of God's word is not of much practical use.
One must believe that God exists before it makes any sense to adopt literalism, or even to believe that the Bible is God's word at all.It's practical enough to ascertain with 100% agreement that God exists though, isn't it?
That's 100% of all Christians who ever lived, alive today, and will be alive tomorrow.
Literalists, allegorists, and even scientists.
One ... hundred ... percent.
No exceptions.
That's right.Obviously. Don't even need inerrant powers to see that.
That's a different story altogether.One must believe that God exists before it makes any sense to adopt literalism, or even to believe that the Bible is God's word at all.

Yup. One of the dangers of religion.It doesn't make your victims any less dead.
His name is Jesus... and His Word speaks on it's own merit as from Him...Only one way to interpret? Every single sentence, every word?

Where do we find the one True reading? How did you find

Yup. One of the dangers of religion.

100% positive.Are you sure?
But that's because they have a belief in God the Father.Hans Blaster said:There are many people who call themselves "Christian" but don't believe in the divine aspects of Jesus.
That's their problem.Hans Blaster said:You may not think of them as proper Christians, but they don't see that as a problem.
Ya ... according to Estrid, there are 39,000 other sects of Christianity that don't believe as I do.Hans Blaster said:There are even larger groups of Christians whose view of God is vastly different from yours that they are incompatible.
It doesn't make your victims any less dead.
Ya ... we're down to pot shots now and silly remarks and quoting everyone else but ourselves.Yup. One of the dangers of religion.
