Does the bible have a central theme? Does it prove inspiration?

by GreenhornChristian in

does the bible have a central theme?.

there seems to be a general consensus throughout christian religions that there is a consistent theme throughout the bible.

the seeming evidence of a theme coming from a collection of books written by over 40 different authors over a period of 1500 years is what givse credence to the claim that the bible is an inspired literary work.

Witness My Fury

Nope. Your view is too simplistic and seeks to confirm your bias.

Have a read of Karen Armstrongs The Bible - The Biography for starters.

Until you know how why and when it was written and then how it ended up as the work you know today you are only ever going to get it wrong.

Edit: Sorry I obviously missed the paragraph about helping your pastor friend and your views not being the same, so i jumped the gun.

Two words: Redaction, rewritten.

Is he saying God guided that part, but not the original? Note; we have no original.

I'm curious about the Publisher Record Card.

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i was once told that a publisher had the right to examine their own record card.. what would happen if a publisher examined it and threw it out?.

.

Witness My Fury

About once a year or sometimes to "encourage" (read guilt trip) the cards are given out during a meeting part or by elder to an individual.

Well, mine never went back. They tried to get me to sign a new one but i refused.

Ghosts during a CNN news report??

by EndofMysteries in

this is interesting, do you think the family set up some elaborate prank or what is your explanation for the guys arm, the door slamming, etc?

http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2014/08/05/dnt-pa-news-crew-visits-haunted-house.wpmt.html.

this one is also interesting, survelliance camera seems to show a ghost walking through a gate.

1st video:

The "orbs" are insects, midges, that the camera cant cope with and turns into a grey blob. Google "rods phenomenon" to see how stupid people can be.

The researcher is too calm after having had "supernatural" experiences just happen to and around her for it to be real. Ditto for the woman who lives there.

The door closing, means nothing at all. Easily staged, no phone camera will pick up the pull line or darkened arm used in such a small closure distance.

2nd video:

No scale or distance and a highly magnified and pixelated image.

One easy way to solve it would be to compare footage from the same camera of a person actually walking thru there, you'd then have like for like to compare it with. But being the supreme detectives that they are, they dont appear to have bothered.

So that leaves guess work.

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/aug/25/ebola-africans-die-god-american-doctorif god saved an american doctor with ebola, why did he let 1,200 africans die?it must be lovely for people such as dr kent brantly to be so sure of god's existence.

for the rest of us, it's not so easy.

ebola survivor dr kent brantly.

Witness My Fury

Anyone who believes "god" saved Brantly is a frickin idiot, and that includes the man himself.

Misprint night

by stillin in

a misprint is in tonight's bible reading.

wouldn't you know i have the bible reading assignment.

wish i could think of a way to point it out to all of the cognitively dissonant people.. :).

Witness My Fury

Read the misprint and then say "I'm sure that's a misprint" as if talking to yourself and then immediately carry on with the reading.

1. follow the treatment prescribed.

Witness My Fury

WTF has #9 got to do with it? Oh that's right, when you are vulnerable you are a prime target for a cult.

How to Include an Attachment

by stirred but not shaken in

how do you attach something from a folder or other documents?.

.

Witness My Fury

if it's local on your computer you cant, you can link to something on the internet like a picture, video, PDF, etc etc if that is hosted somewhere and you just paste the URL link (CTRL V).

So if you have something on your computer you want to share you need to upload it to a picture or file hosting site (plenty about just search) 1st and then post a link to it.

Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me

by tiff21390 in

last month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.

he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.

i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

We aim to please.
