the most famous one is the dead sea scrolls there are so many scandals about the text, you can just google it there was a big one about how the vatican won't release the book of Judas because it messes up the story a few years ago Just the fact that people even bother questioning the story says it all for me. it doesn't matter if Newton or Einstein or Darwin were really middle class Englishmen, it isn't important because the actual ideas make sense whoever wrote them, this isn't true about the Bible... It's like Thomas Edison didn't actually invent the lightbulb but that doesn't call lightbulbs into question
Interestingly the last time I looked, I had several Bibles on my bookshelf. So I would say the Bible is as real as a light bulb.
After all, he made the cock, and toilet, and gay bar. Not to mention creating the CONCEPT of a gay bar, for someone to use free will to later discover.
Do an iota of research. The Dead Sea Scrolls were, moztly, texts found in the now titled "Old Testament".
if there is a "God" he loves us all and if there isn't then what does it matter right? BE WHO YOU ARE and stay true to your guts because your gut and your heart will never steer you wrong.
Thanks everyone for all the advise, its helped me to sort things out in my head. I think I'm gonna go with it bcs it feels like god should love who I am. I have tried fighting the demons if its wrong choice then I Jesus will let me know and I will stop it
A fire without fuel will go out but if you keep feeding it, it will grow and consume you. (Colossians 3:5-10) Deaden, therefore, YOUR body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of those things the wrath of God is coming. 7 In those very things YOU, too, once walked when YOU used to live in them. 8 But now really put them all away from YOU, wrath, anger, badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk out of YOUR mouth. 9 Do not be lying to one another. Strip off the old personality with its practices, 10 and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it
omg yea that sounds pretty scary lol. I don't want to get god pissed. I'm kinda in a relationship with the guy now though so what should I do? We're becoming real close real quick and I don't want to brake his heart (or mine) but I also want to be christian and worship Jesus in our own way.
That is one of the problems, people want to worship God in their own way but they fail to take into consideration what God has to say on the matter. When was the last time you told your employer that you want to work for him but you want to do it your way and ignore what he has to say on the matter? Do we really want to tell God that the way he wants to be worshiped is wrong and we know better that he does how he should be worshiped?
OP seems to have decided, regardless of what anyone else has said in this thread, And probably did decide long before starting this thread. As for everyone worshipping God in their own way, well we'd have to get rid of all the different denominations, all the religions spawned from Abraham to read the one book. That shouldnt be too hard
