SWC, have you ever heard of the Gospels of Mary? They’re about a girl whom in the Bible is made out to be a slut, but in her gospels, it is revealed Jesus and her wed, and had children. These particular gospels were left out of the Bible because they knew that revealing this would cause the Bible to crumble. So how does it feel to sit on a thrown of lies?

And those “accurate prophecies” you always go on about, I must admit I’m impressed. I mean, who would ever expect the “fall of an empire”?

Those prophecies WILL happen no matter what. They are always accurate because they are vague annd there is no time table for them to be completed.

Btw, the rapture was invented in the 1800’s.

Ok, check this out. Here are my prophecies:

The death of a dictator

The shit-taking, of a hot girl

The making of a prophecy

The blinking of I

Damn, this is easy. Maybe some people will worship me because I made 100% accurate prophecies!

Oh, and SWC, did you know there aren’t any written accounts of Jesus from the time he’s said to have lived in?

"You know? I don’t accept your forgivness, because 1 YOU ARE NOT GOD, you are not ordained, you are not acknowledged by anyone outside of being “That messed up thumper who means well” or much much worse."


Yes, I am not God, I am a human, a sinful human. But I forgive you for what you said against me, to me. I forgive you my friend, once more.

“and 2 I’m sure you noticed the post I made, asking, very close to begging, for some prayers well wishes and any kindness in my struggle with the most severe MS attack I’ve ever experienced.

Many people gave me kind words, props, prayers and more. At the same time you have posted freely, and often, since I made this post. So what kind of Christian are you to read and reply to all the posts above and below that one, and never say a word. What kind of Christian, why? Because I’m not worthy of it, because I disagree with you? sounds like Pride and punishment."


Ok, now that you brought it up, I’ll tell you what I’ve been thinking. There are a few major reasons for sickness and illness. One, because of our sinful nature, because Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, they couldn’t live eternally, and people were born with sickness from then on, and death came. This is the reason for most normal sickness, original sin, disobedience to God, eating the forbidden fruit, we can’t live eternally, we have to die, and we get sick. As for personal sickness and illness, there are a few reasons. One, the normal process of life, since we will all die one day. Two, sickness or illness for the glory of God (John 9:3; 11:4). Three, sickness or illness because of a person’s sin, chastening (1 Cor. 11:27-32). Now I am not judge, I will not judge. I do not know for which reason you have your sickness. Judge yourself. Is it just a normal process of life, of our bodies wearing down? Is it due to sin? Or is it for the glory of God? I do not know. You may know. God does know.


“or have heard of George Dubya, and the attrocities he has pulled off?"


Ummm... Actually, is that George W.? As in, George W. Bush? The President of the U.S.A. now?



As for the Bible. The Bible is the infallible Word of God.

“Can the Bible be infallible if it is written by fallible humans? And if not, how can we accept it as literal truth?


There is no logical reason why this could not be true. After all, even fallible humans can get things right some of the time, especially if they are supervised by Someone who is infallible.

Christians do not claim that the humans who penned the books of the Bible were always accurate in everything they said or did. We simply believe that the Bible is right when it claims that God guided these men in their task of writing Scripture, in such a way that the result is an infallible book. The apostle Peter undoubtedly said some foolish things during his lifetime, but God did not allow him to clutter up the Bible with any of those blunders.

2 Timothy 3:16 contains the classic claim that the Bible was produced by God, not just men:

All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
One standard explanation of the concept of “inspiration” is given by Ryrie:
God’s superintendence of the human authors so that, using their own individual personalities, they composed and recorded without error His revelation to man in the words of the original autographs. (Charles Ryrie, A Survey of Bible Doctrine (Chicago: Moody Press, 1972), p. 38)
We do not know exactly how God accomplished His purpose of providing a totally accurate Bible. But 2 Peter 1:21 gives some insight:
No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
The word “moved” in this verse is also used in Acts 27:15 to describe the way a great storm blew the apostle Paul’s ship off course across the Mediterranean. The people on board could spend the time as they chose (either bailing or wailing!), but the storm determined their destination of Malta. Similarly, God guided the writers of Scripture to produce exactly the message He wanted."

Hmmm.... Where did you get that? The Davinci Code fiction movie or something to the sort? You have to watch what your sources are.



“And those “accurate prophecies” you always go on about, I must admit I’m impressed. I mean, who would ever expect the “fall of an empire”?"



That’s not the only prophecy. How would anyone have known about this recent prophecy: Zephania 2:4? Or the place of the Messiah’s birth, and to whom He would be born, and when? Or the prophecies concerning Israel’s future?



“Those prophecies WILL happen no matter what. They are always accurate because they are vague annd there is no time table for them to be completed."


Actually, Daniel 9:25-26 gives the time when Jesus would be born.


“Oh, and SWC, did you know there aren’t any written accounts of Jesus from the time he’s said to have lived in?"



“Over 20,000 known manuscripts document the New Testament text. This makes the New Testament the most reliable document of antiquity (a document written before the printing press). These manuscripts vary in size from a part of a page to an entire Bible (Old and New Testaments). The earliest New Testament manuscripts date from the second century (100-199) AD These manuscript copies were written in different languages by people of different nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds. In spite of all those differences between them, the New Testament texts all agree.
Special proof exists for the New Testament, since Christians were strongly persecuted by both the Jews and the Roman government. If the New Testament writings were false, these two groups would have produced a great deal of evidence to stop the growth of this “sect.” None exists. Further, the New Testament writings (before they were assembled into the “book” we call the New Testament) circulated during the lifetimes of thousands of people who had actually seen Jesus’ miracles and other historic events. No one ever refuted the New Testament writings as “fairy tales.”"

first diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses... not sin... we have actually found reasons as to why people get sick if you hadn’t noticed SWC... it’s not cause God hates you... it’s due to what you come into contact with and basically if a virus manages to get inside of you... welcome to the 21st century SWC... it’s a thing called modern medicine...

and yes he means george W Bush... come on SWC do you live in a hole in the ground or what... haven’t you ever heard him called that...

Yes, but sometimes, God can make the person get in a situation where the bacteria or virus would infect him, as a punishment for sin. But that’s only part of it. There is also normal process of aging, and sickness for glory of God.



“and yes he means george W Bush... come on SWC do you live in a hole in the ground or what... haven’t you ever heard him called that..."



Nope, this is the first time I heard him being called that way. But I guess I am not quite so social, could be the reason why I haven’t heard him being called that way. Now I know.

Oh I see. so god can “make the person get in situation?" He can make or force them to do something they have no control over. Somehow, this does not sound like free will. Oh well, maybe it’s just me.

My mind sometimes thrives on knowledge and the need to learn and compete. It’s a problem to some. But I try not to get out of control.

You can get a feeling to do something, but that’s not forcing you to do it. You can get a strange feeling to go help someone you don’t know, but no one is forcing you to follow your feeling. See? You make the final decision.



“noticed I stopped replying to this idiot awhile back?"



You’re probably gone, but if you do come across this, I want to say: I forgive you James. Peace.

If the future is already written, what’s the point of free will? Is it REALLY free will?

Where did you get that the future is written?



“Nope, you didn’t say that. You said god can make them."


Maybe God can make the events happen that you would be in such a situation. But God doesn’t force you to action, you choose. Maybe God can put you in a situation where someone who is in need comes to you or something, but you choose whether to help him or not.

No no. If god creates a situation, he is changing what I would normally do and controlling my actions based on whatever he “made happen." Since he knows what I will do, then it is control.
