6 billion people, 6 billion right interpretations of the Bible?

I have spoken to the true god.

He said to me that the bible is meant as allegory. His son taught in parable and so does he. Revealing the literal truth of reality to mankind is simply impossible.

So then why do you consistently refer to God with a small case g instead of with an upper case G?

No it isn't. God has revealed the literal Truth of reality to humanity. For example, the Bible states, "In the beginning God created the Heavens and he Earth." This is a literal statement and it should be interpreted literally.

Hi buddy Robtard, it is good to see that you have not changed a bit. You still put words in my mouth and misquote me, but I still love you with Christian love brother.

Show me where I said that "my interpretation is the correct one."

Hello, JesusIsAlove and right back at ya, I guess we're both just stuck in our ways.

Oh, maybe the part where you told people to "Get born again"... That's like a Rabbi telling you to convert to Judaism and interpret the Bible from a Jews point of view, yet somehow not telling you to interpret it a certain way.

Perfect example of "interpretation" dilemma...

"God created the Heavens and the Earth" according to the bible, that isn't in question; does it say exactly how though? Would it stand to reason that it could either be the "poof there it is" as you believe, "Big bang" or maybe something else unimagined?

😕 Because god honestly doesn't care if I capitalize "God" or not.

Gee . . . who should I believe? The one true god of the universe or some random guy on the internet.

The bible is ancient. "In the beginning God created the Heavens and he Earth." means that the heavens and Earth came into being. At the time humans could not understand what that would mean. Basicly God dumbed it down for us.

Well looking at the context Jesus does expound the concept of being born again. (Read John 3:1-9) Jesus is talking about being transformed "spiritually."

How do you know that he did not mean that literally?

Not it doesn't. Just quote what the Bible says verbatim (let the Word of God speak for itself). It says God created.... There is a vast difference between saying that the Heavens and Earth came into being, and saying that God created the Heavens and the Earth. Can you see this Symmetric Chaos?

But it does not say how.

You have misunderstood what I wrote. Jesus meant spiritually, but literally, spiritually.

Worry about your own flawed book before you point the finger at another. I.E. 'He without sin, shall cast the first stone' - Jesus

How do you know that? I understand what you are talking about, but you are making assumptions that you don't even realize.

If you were an omnipotent being trying to explain the creation of the universe to beings of limited intelligence what would you do?

The bible states that God created them. Is that what it means? No.

Humans have a long history of creating religions. People want something to believe in and want understanding. God saw that it was easier to speak in metaphor than in literal truths.

Keep on waiting and while you're at it, look up the word "comprehension".

*sigh* Guess I'll have to spell it out for you like you're six years old... I said "your flawed book", NOT "the Qur'an has contradictions" (which it has), so you fail at trying to pigeon-hole me.

This isn't a thread about the faults of Islam though, I believe there's one or more already made. But just for shits n' giggles, who was the first Muslim?

Anyhow...

JesusIsAlive, I'd like it if you got back to me on my second post in this thread, about the "interpretation dilemma" etc.
