Why are you generalizing and what on earth do Dem's have to do with flat earth folk who have no capacity for rational thought ?
You are stammering and in denial such that you can not come up with a coherent thought. . You tell me to read my own posts - not mentioning what your issue is. Then you stammer around crying "fail fail fail" but do not state what you are referring to. This is followed by you commenting about your bored mental state in a desperate but poor attempt to shoot the messenger because you can not handle the message. Are you going to be OK ? Look: It is not my fault that Biblical Scholars believe 1 Peter was not written by the Apostle Peter. It is not my fault that Biblical Scholars do not think that Paul was the author of 6 of the epistles attributed to Paul. It is not my fault that the practice of attributing authorship to someone who was not the author was common practice at the time when these epistles were written. Why are you blaming me for what the Biblical scholarship has to say ?
Why? You have shown no interest in actual discussion in the past, shown no desire for objective review, no willingness to do actual work in evaluating the subject, your interest has always been to push your personal bias and hatred of Christianity. Have you changed?
So you have absolutely no idea what the main point is in 1 Peter. Just say so. There's no shame in it.
Since it appears that you have never read 1 Peter you can simply do the Google thing and search "What is the main theme of 1 Peter". You will get a number of hits that will possibly give you a clue. If you don't want to do that I will explain it to you.
There is a book called Self-Contradictions of the Bible. Here is an online text of the work. It is very interesting as there are 144 contradictions in the Bible: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/cv/scb/scb01.htm http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/cv/scb/scb02.htm http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/cv/scb/scb03.htm http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/cv/scb/scb04.htm https://www.amazon.com/Self-Contrad...1-2&keywords=self-contradictions+of+the+bible
Which specific contradiction?? The book lists 144 different contradictions in the Bible. That's all, period.
Which is the one you pointed out??? The online text lists all 144 contradictions one by one. Check it out.
I pointed out a contradiction in 1 Corinthians about the practice of tongues and prophesy. I do not know if that book also points out the contradiction I found, but I need not know more because one contradiction is enough for me.
You can invest all the time you want to in posting, but if its your usual biased rantings based on a biased cut&paste then you are wasting your time. Why should I spend my time responding to a person who will not do the fundamental work required to have a legitimate debate?
Possibly because he is citing written records and you are adhering to unprovable faith. Faith, by its very nature. is subject to scrutiny which the biased believers resist doing, preferring to rely only on their faith.
The subject in question is the meaning of various parts of the Bible. My arguments are based on the written Bible as understood in the context of the time and place the books were written, his are based on little snippets cut from whatever biased article he googles up. Your post reflects the naïve view that there is nothing about religion except "blind faith", that is wildly incorrect. And insulting to all the religious people throughout history including Sir Isaac Newton (a renowned theologian in his day) and Galileo (who wrote in 1615 to Christina, Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany, that nature is the manifestation of divinity, and he was a devout Catholic his entire life).
What is actually insulting is those like you who insist that this "bible" of yours is the undoubted truth and that everyone must believe it to be the unvarnished word of some supreme being. It was written by man, who your own beliefs say is fallible, and promoted for profit. You have no proof of anything it claims being true, only this blind faith you denounce. Time to mature and search for actual facts instead of just believing myths.
Wrong. Nowhere have I stated that everyone must believe it. Just the opposite, I have stated many times that its your decision, you can believe it or not. And in these discussions, I have also stated that to argue any position on the Bible requires knowledge of the Bible, you don't have to believe it but you must have read it.
Just for your information, I attended seminary for two years. We studied the bible. I have quite the basis for not believing it. You, on the other hand, appear to have just read the Cliffs Note version and decided to believe what you like and attack others for disagreeing with you. Speaking of lacking knowledge, that appears to be you.
