How do you know that? How do you know what the word or will of God is? Did he tell you directly? Why do you think a man made collection of books written by many men and revised many times by men, is the word of God? You just assume it is, but you have no valid reason or basis if you think about it. You don't think do you? You just react on instinct.TruthSeeker wrote: ↑July 17th, 2021, 8:27 amThat is an unbelievably stupid post especially since you come from a evangelical Christian background. God the Father is pure and holy. We are sinners. We don't just go see Him "by plane, car, boat, train or bicycle". That is not the way to get to the Father. We have to go through the sacrificial Lamb Jesus Christ who paid for our sins on the cross. That is how we have access to the Father, through Jesus Christ. Also Jesus talked of children of God and children of the devil. So all are not God's children. Not all even want to go to the Father.Winston wrote: ↑July 16th, 2021, 11:29 amI dont agree that God would only provide one way. If God was that narrow then he would only create one race and one culture and one animal and one color, etc. If he loves diversity in nature then he should love diversity in religion. The logic follows.
Think about this. Do your parents mind if u go see them by plane, car, boat, train or bicycle? No of course not. As long as u arrive thats what counts.
Also if God wanted everyone to be Christian why would he promote it in the middle east only? He would have Jesus go to every country in the world and proclaim the gospel. Or he would write the gospel in the sky for everyone on Earth to see.
Why cant u just realize that all this religion stuff is man made? Why is that so hard for many Christians? Being inspired to write something does not mean it was dictated. If the Sun inspired you to paint a sunset or sunrise, that does not mean the Sun painted it of course. You are the one who painted it. Not the Sun. Same with the Bible.
The gospel has already been preached to those nations you mentioned and for the most part has been rejected. Even Israel for the most part has rejected Jesus Christ. He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6).
He would not write the gospel message on the sky because he wants us to come to Him by faith. Faith comes by hearing, not by seeing.
You know all the Scriptures Winston. You are just making excuses.
You are right however about the inspiration part. All Scripture comes by inspiration of God. He did not write it directly, except for the ten commandments which He wrote on stone tablets.
So you agree that inspiration is not dictation. Ok then why do you treat the Bible as though God dictated it word for word?
Furthermore, two verses does not make the Bible into God's word. I could say this post is God's word, but it doesn't make it true. Especially since there are 3 verses where Paul says he is writing his opinion and not God's opinion. So then the question is WHY do you treat the Bible as God's word then? You're not thinking, just reacting. Why assume a man made book is God's word? Especially a book that has been altered and revised many times. Even King James changed some of the verses because he hated witches so he changed the word "poisoner" to "witch" in the verse "Thou shalt no suffer a witch to live."
Just because I know the dogma of Christianity does not mean I agree with it. You are confused and assume that everyone who understands the Christian Gospel must know it's the truth and must agree with it. Not so. Aren't you brainwashed?
