    Part 15 is a continuation of Post your tough questions pertaining to God/Jesus/Holy Bible and I will do my best to clarify and make sense of it to those who are unaware...I still have questions unanswered in Part 6 thru 14.
    Also I might answer questions that are on other members threads and so this will keep me real busy with the many questions that I will answer from my point of view/perspective keeping in line with Scripture.

    I don't want my intentions to come across as converting you or whatever lol... but rather clear up things etc... so ask away.

    Why can't god write a book that is so clear and concise that he doesn't need you or anyone else to interpret it for him?

    If sin dwells in us then how can god? It's my understanding that god can't share a space with evil.

    What makes your interpretation of the bible any more correct than Rev. Fred Phelps?

    Why doesn't god kill babies in the old testament himself rather than ordering Jewish soldiers to do it for him.

    No, it's not. Again you are wrong which is not unusual. The Bible tells us God is spirit and so when the Bible tells us we were made in His image it means we have a spirit nature in us just like Him.

    No, the Bible is vividly clear what happens to us when we die our physical deaths here on earth. There are no speculations coming from the Bible after all the Bible is the infallible Word of God.

    The vast majority will be separated from God forever because it was their choice. The rest of us, the saved, will spend eternity with God in His Kingdom of Heaven because it was our choice.

    God is leaving the choice up to us on where we want to spend eternity.

    How can evil exist if god didn't create it? Is there another creator that we don't know about?

    If there are no mistakes in the "infallible Word of God" why then are there literally hundreds of different bibles saying hundreds of thousands of different things?

    "And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

    Why would god repent for something he did if everything he did was good or infallible?

    Actually I'm looking at 14 of this series and reposting the questions he never got around to!

    I know he must have just overlooked them and is not ignoring me as that wouldn't be a very christian thing to do!

    How do you verify that Abraham was spoken to by God.

    How do you verify which God it was that spoke to him ?

    How do you verify that Abraham was not delusional and made the whole thing up?

    If everything that happens is part of god's plan,... then wasn't his plan all along to kill everyone but Noah and his kids by drowning them, then use a symbol that would later be adopted to support homosexuality, as his sign of his promise not to do it again?

    Exactly! And when we ask for empirical proof that the Bible contains the word of God they either go silent, draw parallels like "Jerusalem exists thereby proving everything the Bible says is true"... and if all else fails they attack.

    I do not understand why Christians cannot ever say that they have no proof that the stories in the Bible are true, and their belief is a matter of faith and not Biblical fact.

    I believe in God, but ask me to prove the existence of God and I will well you that it is an exercise in futility to prove the existence of a theological intangible. But then again I do not force my faith on others nor does the God I know demand that I proselytize.

    But none the less it is entertaining to watch some Christians try to prove that which cannot be proven.

    You are making things up again to try and fit what the scripture actually says into the man made dogma you worship.

    What do you mean "wrong" as usual you liar. As usual "you" are wrong.

    You can not commit adultery with an un-married woman Homer. Duuoooppphhhhh

    Still waiting for you to tell us how "God created everything that exists" but "God did not create Satan"

    Wrong again !

    Truth is not synonymous with fact. Fallacy is often seen as truth. Wisdom is knowing the difference.

    Cult has many different definitions for example;

    " a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous"
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cult

    If the above definition is correct then there have been periods in Christianity where it would have fit the definition of a cult.

    And who gets to dictate what God's truth is? What makes you any right over Mormons, or Buddhists, or Hinduism, or any other religion? Let me guess... the Bible. The Bible is your truth... and like I said truth is not synonymous with fact.

    People "claim" lots of things in theology... what makes the "claims" you support any more valid than other claims?

    So the Bible is truth and the Book of Mormon is fallacy... prove it!

    Clearly you have misinterpreted the Scripture...what else is new?...lol

    That's why I'm here to explain things. To give guys like you the correct interpretation. The Bible is certainly not a book for the interpretion impaired. Let's take a look at Matthew 5:28...

    "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (KJV)

    The ordinary interpretation of this passage is that "lust" is equivalent to "adultery"; that is, if a man sexually desires a woman, he has already committed adultery with her in God’s eyes.

    We are not to suppose, from the word here used..."adultery"...that our Lord means to restrict the breach of this commandment to married persons, or to criminal intercourse with such.

    The expression, "whosoever looketh," seem clearly to extend the range of this commandment to all forms of impurity, and the counsels which follow as they most certainly were intended for all, whether married or unmarried seem to confirm this.
