This is what I am saying... Many people whom you count as a 'vote' for the 'poorly written argument' are not even saved individuals. Some of whom will even admit to others that they are not saved and yet others will not know until the Day of Judgement. You continue to argue that EITHER 1. The Bible is written poorly or in such hidden script that even the most devout cannot understand it. OR 2. That the Entire Bible is not to be taken literally at any point. RE>>Are your eyes so closed that you can't see the illogical nature of your statements? << You are not presenting an either/or argument both 1 and 2 are basically the same accusation. You are asking me to choose whether the Bible is poorly written or wether the Bible is poorly written. Do you not see why I have a hard time believing you are actually being honest about this stuff ? Yes I and every Christian I know will tell you that the Bible is written to confound the unsaved! In fact God has told us that this is the way His children can tell who is or is not approved to teach ! If there was not definite meaning then no man could be tested as to orthodox doctrine. Look: 1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. The inability to understand scripture is God's gift to His son's so that they can recognize each other and who is not of them. You are not of us therefore the world hears you.. we are not of this world therefore we hear each other. Do not hold us accountable for the deaf fakers. === Nor is God faulted in this but rather Glorified. === RE>> would differ wildly about what parts should be taken literally.<< Differ Wildly ??? How many people do you know that would suggest the 10 commandments are figurative ? Not even the unsaved are that foolish. Why do you persist in putting forth the proposition that the Bible must either be entirely literal or entirely not literal ? YOu don't operate in that realm no one does. How is it then that I am close eyed of blind ? RE>>There are people of all Christian denominations << They are of different denomination for a reason. Some will grow out of it some never will, many will choose a comfort zone and stay there. Those who are the saved and continue will know the truth Jesus spoke this to the religious leaders of the day ! John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Disciples indeed know which verses are literal and which are not. Which verse are you having trouble with Mark :-} Is this literal: Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Some things are basic and easy to understand some things are more hidden and savoured only by the diligent workmen after years of growth. The "thief on the cross" did not have a Masters in Theology but he knew enough to be saved. The Bible is the Word of God the problem is not with the Bible the problem is with Man!
