Why is god watching from a distance when his people perish brah? I need you to intellectually analyze my intent and not from faith...
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. Proverbs 26:11
You still talking this out of context bullsh*t even after I showed you the erroneous translation of that passage.
.......and yet you claim to be asking sincere questions and not have an antagonistic agenda.
BASED ON THIS I WON'T BE RETURNING TO THIS THREAD .......IT'S NOT WORTHY OF A RESPONSE
PEACE
Shalom! Here's the thing with Christians and the Bible, why do you always think someone has an agenda? And like written text, anyone can pick and choose which parts to use in an argument. You chose a particular sect of language in its translation to debunk what i presented. I do agree that with more translations, a word tends to lose it's definitive meaning so from Aramaic to english, definitely some components have been lost. Also i honestly believe some sections of the Bible has been left out...
But, can't the same thing be said about non-believers...that they think Christians have an agenda? The classic form of "agenda" attached the Christianity is to brainwash people; control the masses (that probably goes for every other religion). So, when someone comes to defend the Bible, it is thought to be done to cover up something...and not to present the truth about Christianity.
I read the bible for what it is, a book and with every book, i discern for myself its intent. More murders have been committed with the book in hand than any other book or religion for that matter. I have my own religion i practice and there are several more religions that predates christianity/judaism and others so what agenda exactly are we trying to propagate?
