deut, is quite clear that the law was not to be added to nor taken from..... yet jesus said, i give you a new commandment, that you love one another as i have loved you.. so could he be the one god sent if he violated what god commanded?

why does the bible live while most other myths have died?
by zen nudist in

apart from what believers claims....

i think the main reason is not because of what they bible teaches, but rather what it leaves out.

the other myths of mankind over explain everything to the point of absurdity in later generations....

why Adam really died?
by zen nudist in

2. bible
some have mentioned that it seems that god lied about the cause of adams death as adam really died of old age.

but an author of a book called the secret origins of the bible pointed out something even more astonishing..... the bible plainly tells us why adam was forbidden from living forever..... it does not say he was punished for sin [something he did], but instead it specifies that he was prevented for what he.

might do with the knowledge he obtained.... here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order.

one verse to change lives
by zen nudist in

2. beliefs
i think there is one verse in the bible, if properly understood would, i believe, definitely make all christians better people.

mark 9:47 and if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out.

which i take to me, if you find something offensive in the world, change your own mind about it, rather than trying to change it.

who is the real murderer?.

cain who slew abel, or god who rejected cain, and according to most believers knew how cain would react and what he would do...and did nothing to stop him.. "am i my brother's keeper?

" could be translated as --- why weren't you watching over abel?

if ignorance is bliss, why are people afraid of the unknown?

fear is anticipation of pain.... no one really fears death is by death they mean complete non-existance... there is no pain possible for those who dont exist...what they fear is the unkown life that may come after death in whatever form they may find themselves...they fear the possible painful hell of religion or the judgement of others who may be waiting for them, etc.... being ignorant is often not seen as our normal position.... we never really know what is around the next bend, but often we go through each day without thinking that at all... we have a plan, a goal and a dont see any apparent road blocks, so we feel confident and forget that this is all delusions based on experiences of the past which are hardly consistant predicators of the future.
