You're jelly

Not in the least, mine are hard earned and I take great pride in that. Also, all recruiting forum posters are intelligent and most likely extremely attractive, successful Americans... especially those that like this post.

I'm convinced that the Bible, including the Hebrew Torah, the prophets, the writings/wisdom literature, as well as the gospels and the letters of the New Testament all were inspired by YHWH God .

There are some 1.5 BILLION Hindus that consider much of what is contained in the Vedas to be “authorless,” that the words of the text came straight from God/the universal being.

So which Holy Book is “right?”

Or could it be they are all describing in essence the same concepts, just Illustrated through different cultural lenses.

Go Vols!

Done. Just got tired of it being okay for people to use their faith to belittle someone that shares the same faith in a holier than thou manner. Judge not and all that jazz.

When teaching history, I relied upon the written accounts of historians. Those written accounts prove the existence of Jesus. The don't back up the middle-ages Catholic Chruch's choice of books to include. Just think, if it weren't for Martin Luther, you'd have to go see my buddy who is a Latin professor at Belmont to read the Bible.

A simple life is a good life. A complex life is a good life. It's all an opportunity to be a witness to this experience.

Luther's translated German bible wasn't the source of translation for the KJV, for what it's worth.

Looking around, yep, off-topic forum now, we're good...

I don't think the concepts are the same. The 3 in 1 God of the Bible who took on the righteous judgment required by his holiness against his creation upon himself in the God/Man, Jesus, promised from the very beginning of the story (Gen 3:15) and many times centuries before he showed up as a virgin-born helpless baby.... that story is unique...

There is no story in history like the story of the Bible. The intention of God to glorify his Son, Jesus, in the work of rescuing humanity, made in his image, is the main point of the Bible.

Was I doing that? I hope not... seriously.

You weren't. But its easy to make that accusation when hard truth is presented. "Oh, I don't like that, judge not!" Sadly, the vast majority of people who quote that passage have absolutely no idea what it means.

I had to delete a dissertation. This was the right call.
But I also learned, I'd actually be a pretty good history teacher.

Only bass panders for likes, you're all good sister.

Wait! Bass said Ron does.... I don't care I like what I like. I don't have time to worry about why they are being likeable. Except for the few that brag about having more likes than others when they never like others posts. Think it was Charger that got me to thinking about this lol.

They do not, but it's their favorite passage.

The definition of 'judge' is pretty clear.

I do. I believe. I give to community (I've volunteered everywhere from prisons to inner city schools to homeless shelters). I don't work to make money. I work to serve the community. I've found that when I changed my approach from what can I get to what can I give, I was given more opportunities and bigger outlets to give through. But, by all means, use blind faith to judge me and anyone else.

That's awesome, and I commend you! I was not judging you since I do not know you except for a few posts on here. But thanks for judging my post lol..... and none of that has to do with that passage.

 

[Sleegro]

I feel judged.
