Another thing which makes the Bible the most unique book is that it predicts the future. The Book of Revelations has predicted the two world wars. It predicted the coming of the Man of Lawlessness and he was and still here on earth who sits in many waters upon the seven hills.. accompanied by a woman who drinked the maddening wine of adultery..
No it did not. The Bible hasn't predicted anything, let alone the future. It's predicted the world would end 1000 years after the mythical figure Jesus died. It's now the year 2004 and... damn... the world is still here.
God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (Genesis 5:5). Genesis 2:17
Instead the Bible is littered with:
Injustice: God punishes Eve, and all women after her, with the pains of childbirth and subjection to men. Genesis 3:16
Absurdities: God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day. Genesis 1:3-5
Cruelty and Violence: God drowns everything that breathes air. From newborn babies to koala bears -- all creatures great and small, the Lord God drowned them all. Genesis 7:21-23
Intolerance: An uncircumcised boy is to be abandoned by his parents and community. Genesis 17:14
Sexism: Lamech is the first of a long line of biblical men with more than one wife. It seems that God approves of such marriages. Genesis 4:19, 23.
Strange family values (Speaking of Noah): The "just and righteous" Noah plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent. His son, Ham, happens to see his father in this condition. When Noah sobers up and hears "what his young son had done unto him" (what did he do besides look at him?), he curses not Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father," but Ham's son, Canaan. "A servant of servants shall he [Canaan] be unto his brethren." Genesis 9:20-25
(This part is used by the KKK to justify segregation).
Weird science: Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (Genesis 1:14-19). Genesis 1:11
Mysterious people: "And Cain knew his wife." That's nice, but where the hell did she come from? The Bible doesn't mention any of Cain's sisters. Well, maybe he married his mom. In any case, Cain and the mysterious Mrs. Cain have a son. His name is Enoch and he builds a city (population 3). Genesis 4:17
Foul Language: Lest ... they go a whoring after their gods ... and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods." Exodus 34:15-16

What was wrong with somebody is that they understand the Bible literally... they don't have the wisdom from God... they will never ever understand HIS words.
That's all.
What was wrong with somebody is that they understand the Bible literally... they don't have the wisdom from God... they will never ever understand HIS words.there aint too much to understand except that the bible contradict it selfs on numerous occasion, if you took the bible literally you`re inn for a laugh. .................................... actually you`re in for a laugh anyhow you look at the bible.
If Adam had of OBEYED, he would have lived forever, but since he didn't, he died.. If this so called god was omnipotent and omnipresent he/she/it should have seen this coming...........so much for perfection......... just as much truth in the tale of Balder`s death
...because you poorly mean LIGHT literallyactually she means that the objects producing the light was made three days later than the light that was divided from darkness. Absurdities around it is where did the light come from before the sun and the stars were made
Simple... because God Himself is the LIGHT. 😎
I know no matter how I said it, you couldn't understand that because you never know who GOD is. I respect in your position. I understand.
That's why I rest my case.
by finti
then stay away from this thread then
so if god is the light he didnt need to create the sun and the stars
know no matter how I said it, you couldn't understand that because you never know who GOD is. I respect in your position. I understand.oh please enlighten me, who is god then?
RoguePW25> Well… tell that to Jury Copeland. I just reply to his/her post. And you’re missing the point. God told Adam that on the DAY he’d eat the forbidden fruit he’d die. Adam didn’t DIE on the day he ate the silly fruit. He lived on for centuries.
Jury Copeland>”Well, the Bible has said that with the Lord the day is as a thousand years and/or a year is as a thousand days.”
And? And where does it say that? How are we supposed to know when a day is 1000 years, and or a year no longer is 364 days but 1000? (Kinda odd accounting being kept there)? Doesn’t it just show the Bible is weak, when any time given is up for interpretation?
And Adam dind’t live fro 1000 years. He lived for 930, which is NOT 1000.
” ...because you poorly mean LIGHT literally.” So what else can light be? How can God separate light and darkness if there is no light-giving objects? Or are we again heading towards a ”God REALLY means…”??
” What was wrong with somebody is that they understand the Bible literally... they don't have the wisdom from God... they will never ever understand HIS words.
That's all.”
Oh, but you DO?
”Simple... because God Himself is the LIGHT.
I know no matter how I said it, you couldn't understand that because you never know who GOD is.” But you DO?
Genesis: "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." So if God was the light, why did he have to CREATE it??????
And what son( singular)?
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
120 years? I don't know many people how live that long.

hrm, yes. NOAH. So where's that link saying "they" found the Ark??
