The Truth of course, as I have said and pointed out many times before, I am a sinner and many times I am not right but the Truth is always the Truth. Why, which one do you prefer?
I never said the bible was true or untrue. I have said that I have found the words attributed to Jesus to be true in practice. Adam speaks of dreaming when he says finally flesh of my flesh. Further eve is tempted not by the serpent but by the ideation the serpent instilled in eve, eve dreaming of something different, imagining a different state of being, DREAMING It doesn't. The evidence is extant in the world. Again, god is not vain or mocked and your interpretation of what I am saying is not in fact what I am saying. What do I blame god for? It is quite the opposite. Love does not overtake, man makes his own choices.
But my seeming is more often the truth than your truth is true. but this is what you said on the subject: No, man wrote the bible, inspired though he may be, that inspiration still carries a diverse individuality. Practice what? You believe that the Bible carries a diverse individuality, so how do you know where what you practice comes from? Yep.
I never said that such a thing could not happen. What the dope is not allowing for is that, to use your example, you haven't been unfaithful and your wife is being unfaithful and you feel she is being unfaithful. In this case your feeling that she is unfaithful has nothing to do with you being unfaithful but has to do with her actually being unfaithful. So yes, I can see how a person who is judgmental can feel that he is being judged when he is not but why can't a person who is not judgmental feel like he is being judged when in fact he is being judged? To me, to say that a person in that position is only feeling judged because he is judgmental is absurd.
The True God does not make demands or require behaviors or want people to grovel, God is just telling us what will benefit us. If a father tells his child don't play in the street is he making demands and requiring behaviors, asking the child to grovel? No, he is merely trying to benefit his child by trying to keep him out of harms way.
No, I pretty much defend what is written. No, I read a lot of things that I am not attracted to, other than the fact it is readable.
