should we take the Bible Literally?

[jash_ville]

here il be straight to the point. tokidok shut your pie hole pls lang. you have the nerve to argue with people here in the first place you dont even believe the holy book, your putting bunch of crap in my thread. make your own thread and gather all non-believer. well i should edit the title and put "FOR BELIEVERS ONLY" pun intended....

the moment you hit on "new thread", implied naman guro na noh na open ka to all possible answers?
you can't just bash around just because someone else presented an idea which in any way is not "inclined" to your own belief/opinion.

dare i say that the real nerve here is when people start to outgrow their beliefs.

i, for one, was born a catholic. or i guess ing-ana na siguro na when you "start paying the bills", makakita na ka ug flaws sa imo gituohan.

OT: who are you to judge that our answers are irrelevant? just because our answers may seem different to your popular beliefs, doesn't mean that it's irrelevant. you said you're looking for any answers. there you have it: answers. would you like to have extra cheese to go with that? you said you want to know people's ideas. there you have it: my splendid ideas.

mister, i don't want your respect. i couldn't care less if you respect me or not. in the first place i'm not wanting to be respected. because you see, respect is not demanded. it is earned. do you have what it takes to earn it, my friend?

[jash_ville]

close this thread? why do that?

you know for a fact that the thread title itself is a very broad question. nobody expects an absolute "yes" or "no" answer. modified yes or no even. anything related to the bible is considered OnT.

correct me if i'm wrong, i think it was techfinder who quoted tokidoki's post as somewhat an assumption which is improbable. AND hellblazer pointed out that the bible is just a book and cannot be considered as a sole evidence.

<--- you might as well just call me "mare" not "brad" ... now that's OT

[Hellblazer 2.1]

yes, i agree. let's give everyone a chance to speak their minds.

[aztina888]

@jash_ville. sorry mare. tought you wer a he..

@hell.. no ones holding you man from speaking your mind..infact you can create your own thread entitled SPEAK YOUR MIND.. but i dont see that in the title of this thread.

who am i to judge if the answer is irrelevant hmm i think i have my own brain to judge if an answer is irrevelant or OT. right...

and about your respect. i did repect your ideas remember our exchanged before. as you can recall i did respect you. everyone deserves to be repespected. you will earn it if you lost it.

but seems you dont want my respect then so be it.

so kung daghan pa mo OT himu nlang ta OT thread. didto pwde ta mag SPEAK YOUR MIND. here speak your mind about the idea if should we take the bible literally.....

gets...?

We can only arrive at a SOUND EXEGESIS if we shall EXAMINE closely the scriptures using Hermeneutics and of course by THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

And what makes you think your hermeneutics/exegesis is better than the rest of the 23,000 sola scripturalists denominations? btw, they are all saying that they are guided by the Holy Spirit. Now who do you think among them is guided by the right spirit, you? Come on?

[baliguat]

The more you know and the better you understand, the more severely will you be judged, unless your life is also the more holy. Do not be proud, therefore, because of your learning or skill. Rather, fear because of the talent given you. If you think you know many things and understand them well enough, realize at the same time that there is much you do not know. Hence, do not affect wisdom, but admit your ignorance. Why prefer yourself to anyone else when many are more learned, more cultured than you?

If you wish to learn and appreciate something worth while, then love to be unknown and considered as nothing. Truly to know and despise self is the best and most perfect counsel. To think of oneself as nothing, and always to think well and highly of others is the best and most perfect wisdom. Wherefore, if you see another sin openly or commit a serious crime, do not consider yourself better, for you do not know how long you can remain in good estate. All men are frail, but you must admit that none is more frail than yourself.

oist guyz... tama na... back to the topic. sa mga non-believers, please respeto.

I agree. This thread isn't relevant to those Anti-bible folks.

But still they aren't restricted to join in the discussion.
