You're leaving out one of the most extreme left-wingers on the forums. Forty-two

I think most will use oit for that. It's the few lame white middle-aged men that take it to the office that should be beaten with a rusty rake. Forty-two

So which commandments do we have to follow? I mean, according to you it's not as simple as reading them and obeying them. According to you the bible could say one thing but mean something completely different. Are we allowed to have other gods before Jesus? Can we? Is this acceptable? I say we can. Even though the bible says you can't, I think saying we can't is just a "misunderstanding". Right? Isn't that the word you use whenever the bible contradicts itself? You say it's taken out of context and it's a misunderstanding? Yes, have all the gods you want. The commandment stating the opposite is just a misunderstanding and taken out of context. Forty-two

What cracks me up is all the morons that buy this truck that don't use it for anything but driving to and from work and dropping the kids off at soccer practice while they're forking over an assinine amount of dough at the pump. You know the type...white, middle-aged yuppy cocksuckers who want to show off his new toy to all his office friends. If you buy this truck, which I might add is nice, use it for something useful. Use it for something it is designed for. Forty-two

And a suitcase of money. 6-7 miles to the gallon. Forty-two

Came straight from King James. Guess that's not good enough. Yes, taking the bible (translated text) seriously is a huge problem...problem with reality and common sense. I'll agree with you there. So if saying "all living creatures" doesn't mean really mean all living creatures, what other text is skewed and incorrect? Maybe the 10 commandments don't really mean what they say. Does, "Thou shall not kill" really mean you shouldn't kill? Are you allowed to have other gods before Jesus? I say you can since we can't really take translated text literally. What other 10 commandments can we now break since, as you said, we can't take it literally. Forty-two

It's a chick flick. Pretty lame to be honest with you. Forty-two

Spin it how you want but ALL LIVING CREATURES has only one meaning. Bottom line - The bible is chalked full of contradictions. I can show you them all day long but I can't make a blind man see. Period. I respect your devotion to something. That's great. No disrespect whatsoever. But if you are going to argue that "all living creatures" doesn't include land animals then there's no use in continuing a debate. It's clear you see what you want. Forty-two

No, not obvious. Quite the opposite. It says specifically, "every living creature." Not sure where you come from but around here "every living creature" means just that. Doesn't mean only aquatic life. Means ALL LIVING CREATURES which last I checked, land animals were considered living creatures. Forty-two

Thanks. Appreciate it. Forty-two

So where’s the contradiction? *** King James Version 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Right there. Forty-two

Have proof? So is 'Green Eggs and Ham'. But a sheep, yes. Forty-two

Try again. It sure is. Click the link again. See on the left of the text? Look under translation. It says King James Version. Doesn't get more clear than that. You can view many different versions of the bible for bible.com. Forty-two

How about this. Forty-two

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. How's that? Forty-two

Absolutely. Take your time. Forty-two

Same bible you are. Forty-two

Something from the heart. Your heart. No one elses. Forty-two

I'll answer for you since you're not sure. "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him." Mk.15:25 But wait. Look over at Jn.19:14-16 and you'll see it says, "And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. Hmmmm. Interesting. Let's try one more, shall we? "And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." Mt.27:5 Ok, easy enough. But wait. What's that over there under Acts 1:18? Let's check it out and see what it has to say. " Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." Oopsie. More contradictions. Damn. Hate when that happens. Want some more? Forty-two

We'll play some more. See if you can do better than Billvon. Answer either of these for me. 1. What hour was Jesus crucified? 2. How did Judas die? Forty-two

If you can't read your own version and see the contradictions you will never see them. Give me a sec. I have some more contradictions coming. Forty-two

The funny thing is the versions you state say the same contradictions. See, you can spew any version you wish but it doesn't change the fact that it's a contradiction any way you slice it. Forty-two

I can't help it your bible is full of contradictions. Don't get mad at me because your book is full of lies. Get mad at God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause or whatever other fictional characters are in the bible. There's a reason it's called, "The greatest story ever told." Forty-two

You didn't say that in the ninth post on this thread? Forty-two

ROFLMAO. Really? LOL. You have a lot of back-reading to do. Forty-two
