Christine and Delbert,

This thread made the hot list a couple of days ago, and since I was bored I thought I'd take a peek.

I noticed that you both had somehow gotten into a discussion of "Bible verses you never hear in church" with Emile. I do think discussing the Bible is a good thing, but I noticed that many of the verses quoted by you both were taken out of context to a great extent. I do admit that some of the verses you both bring up are good things to question. I'm sure there are numerous web sites out there discussing the exact verses you bring up if you are interested. There is a lot of history surrounding the time period of the Old Testament that is needed to understand it.

It seems easy to pick on the Bible/God on a public forum with few Christians. I sometimes happen upon them and see Emile there first. I believe he is sometimes misunderstood by Christians and non-Christians alike, but I think he's well meaning on the whole.

Why do I bother to post? I believe Christianity is the Truth of life. If a person reads enough posts about the Bible or God that demean either, I think that the person will end up being brainwashed to a degree without a contrasting view. I want this post to be the contrasting view stating that there is more to the Bible than a few verses taken out of context without the historical background understood.

God bless all,

Grant
