"Look it wasn't a global flood.."
by Qcmbr ini've heard the statement from bible apologists so many times that the global flood story of genesis was not a global flood but was probably a local flood.
this seems problematic.. this directly disagrees with the bible.
everywhere the bible internally references a global flood of worldwide scale (i'll throw in matthew 24:39 as a nt example and genesis 6:17 as a ot example.

I need a show of hands: who believes the Bible and to what extent?
by Terry ini'll start off.. i don't believe anything is divine about bible writings.
i believe there may be some marginal history although not much.

Discovering Mortality
by pirata inmost of my life i never gave thought to my mortality because i'd be petting a lion forever in the new system.

dying was not a huge deal because i'd wake up in a paradise earth.. then i woke up.

Healthy fear of a god needed in order to do good?
by unshackled inthis is from the latest april 15 watchtower (page 7).... .

morality based on fear of punishment and hope for reward is not morality at all.
