And when God drowned the whole world during the time of Noah there were many innocent children as well weren't there? If anything we should see this as an act of God's mercy by making sure that those children did not grow to be like their parents or elders: God after all has children guarding the entrance to the garden of Eden and covering the Ark of the Covenant (i.e. cherubim).
Who told you it was developed over time ? They lied.But if the way of YHWH was developed over time
All murder, everyone who takes a life, their life is required of them.Going by that logic then wouldn't abortion be an "act of mercy" too since those children wouldn't grow up to possibly be bad?
This is not the claim the Bible makes for itself.
If the Bible is just a book by men about God, how has it any authority to proclaim truth about God? What makes one man's ideas about God any more true than any other man's ideas about Him? Since none of us can see God directly and speak with Him, how can anyone claim to know Him and be a revealer of His mind and will? If God does not reach out to Man and reveal Himself, He simply cannot be known. What you're doing, then, in declaring that the Bible is not the word of God is reducing the Bible's revelation of God to mere speculation. Why, then, trust any of it at all?
Fortunately, the Bible bears the marks of supernatural revelation. It is not just a "book by men about God." Here's a short list of reasons why:
1. Fulfilled prophecy.
2. Thematic unity.
3. Survivability.
4. Archaeological/historical accuracy.
5. Impact upon cultures and individuals.
Taken together, these aspects of the Bible - and a number of others besides - make a very strong cumulative case for the supernatural superintendency of God over the creation of Scripture. It is not just a book about God written by men, but the very word of God.
Going by that logic then wouldn't abortion be an "act of mercy" too since those children wouldn't grow up to possibly be bad?
I recoiled upon reading that. Do you not value a child's life at all?
So ?Your first sentence, that the Bible makes a claim so it's true, is circular reasoning.
Who told you it was developed over time ? They lied.
Here is what His Word says, again, over and over and over,
and His Spirit, Himself, His Ruach HaKodesh, and Y'SHUA MESSIAH
always bear witness to the TRUTH of HIS WORD, always without exception:
from 1 Corinthians 2
"This plan (the GOSPEL/GOOD NEWS/of JESUS)
WAS HIDDEN IN FORMER TIMES ,
though IT WAS MADE for our benefit
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN."
All murder, everyone who takes a life, their life is required of them.
Nothing in God's Word says unclean children of unclean parents are saved - rather it is written that nothing unclean will ever be in heaven.
Yes, "traditionally" lies, all lies."Who told me that"? History and facts and people who know where the Bible came from and how it developed.
YHWH tells who is unclean,But supposedly some say that all humans are unclean. So if that's the case God deliberately created us just to deny us heaven and have the only other option be having us thrown in a fiery inferno for all eternity (unless they go to Purgatory).
Going by that logic then wouldn't abortion be an "act of mercy" too since those children wouldn't grow up to possibly be bad?
Yes, "traditionally" lies, all lies.
YHWH tells who is unclean,
and YHWH tells us who is clean.
Did you never even open the BIBLE to read this ?
And you will find nothing in the BIBLE about the fairy tale pagan belief of p&rg&t&r&.
And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."Was God acting maybe out of caprice in denying humans eternal life, or maybe out of mercy?
To trust in God is to trust that he had our best interests at heart when he came to that decision.
So is a mother who kills her child acting out selfishness in denying her child life, or mercy?
If mercy, this is a nihilistic mercy that deems the kind of life that the mother has is not worth sharing with another life.
Mercy is the most optimistic of the choices, even if mercy, this is dark.
As you keep posting, yes.So you're saying anything that research says about the Bible is a lie?
As you keep posting, yes.
All that you keep posting opposed to JESUS,
contrary to HIS WORD
....
why do you always contradict what JESUS HIMSELF SAYS ?
What research is better and higher and more important to you
than
YHWH'S OWN WORD ?
The whole world opposes YHWH, as He says they do,
and the whole world is condemned, as He says they are.
So why continue with the whole world ?
Instead, YHWH offers TRUTH , the WAY, the ONLY WAY, LIFE,
in JESUS,
in accordance with HIS WORD.
JESUS is the only way of salvation;
JESUS is the only way to the FATHER.
Whatever you believe opposed to HIM, has lead you astray,
and kept you from finding HIS KINGDOM,
exactly as YHWH SAYS in HIS WORD.
It was not by reading the BIBLE anyone ever found out ("know") that Jesus is the MESSIAH, the SON of the LIVING GOD. Even Peter the Apostle did not find out by reading, nor by being with Jesus, nor by being told by Jesus.Well if you have apparently read the Bible to the point that you know, then could you clarify?
Again,Haven't you noticed that Jesus never wrote any books of the Bible?
Again,
did you never even read HIS WORD ?
What YHWH SAYS HIMSELF about HIS WORD ?
and what YHWH SAYS HIMSELF about WHO HE will with great pleasure reveal the TRUTH about SALVATION TO ? (NOT to scholars, NOT to the educated, NOT to the religious leaders (for the most part) ) ...
to babes - to infants, - to little children, as JESUS SAYS, for this is YHWH'S GOOD PLEASURE SO TO DO.
and
when YHWH the ALMIGHTY reveals SALVATION, HE always does so perfectly in line with ALL HIS WORD,
as
HIS WORD always says, absolutely, perfectly, and directly .
As long as you decide to reject God's Word,God didn['t directly state it, the men who penned down the Bible claim that God said it and God was writing through them but many of their claims seem to be more in line with societies of that time rather than the eternal word of God.
