billvon 3,100 #830 June 28, 2012 >When are you guyz gonna realize that scripture has all the angles covered? Scripture doesn't - but 2000 years of apologists do. There is now a justification for everything in the Bible, a rationalization for all the errors and contradictions, a rationale for ignoring the parts that don't apply any more.

ianmdrennan 2 #834 June 28, 2012 Quotethere is only one way to interpret the Bible Nonsense, if only on linguistic objections at a minimum. As someone who speaks multiple languages I can say for a fact that some words/phrases just don't translate and meaning is totally lost in translation. *IF* your bible were true, why would it be any different.

"The Bible is a just collection of neolithic myths distorted by the passage of time" satisfies the requirement perfectly.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Besides, one doesn't even have to read the whole of scripture to have spiritual life, and that which we have has been proven to work for us. Very familiar. The earliest MTs we have are from ~1000 CE and they have known errors in them. They are, however, much more consistent than the New Testament Manuscripts. Is the story of the woman caught in adultery authoritative (John 7:53-8:11 or thereabouts)? Is the longer ending of Mark authoritative (16:8-16). Neither one of the are in the oldest manuscripts."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
