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

You have nothing but your belief to base that on. You could be wrong, after all, you are human.

Why would it be unreasonable for god to make things simple for us humans, and not go into detail?

You are correct I am human; therefore, it is possible for me to be wrong. However, the question is not is it possible for me to be wrong but rather is it likely that I am wrong. I do not believe that I am incorrect because I have done my due dilligence (as I do with everything that I post). I study first and examine the case for and against what I post before posting information.

Friend, if Genesis 1:1 is not simple then I do not know what is.

The Big Bang suggests that disorder produced order. That is not the way that God operates. God creates all things orderly and complete even in Adam and Eve's case (although Eve was created from Adam's rib, she was created complete).

APPARENT order does not actually mean that order is present.

They had one of those little New Testaments bible in the crapper, so I drew on it 🤺

Good question Trickster. No, God is a spirit; therefore, He does not have a physical body. In order for God to have created physical matter He must occupy a dimension that is not comprised of physical matter. Furthermore, God Himself must not be comprised of physical matter, and He is not. God is comprised of spiritual substance or tangiblity (this is another subject though).

Which chapter or verse of the bible did you get this from?

Let me rephrase that.

Which literal chapter or verse of the bible did you get this from?

That's what I'm asking you to do.

JiA! how have you been.

Say, just wondering, we've been getting some news about Fred Phelps' religious gang lately, and I was just wondering how you feel about that.
Don't have to tell you I'm sure, but these are some serious zealots, cursing Kevin Smith to hell for his oncoming movie about Reverend Phelps. And it seems they're also justifying the deaths in the Virginia Tech murders, since mankind abandoned the way of the lord, etc etc.
Your thoughts please, as a perhaps better example of a servant of god?

I am great and yourself? I have not kept abreast of what is going on in the news concerning Fred Phelps so I will have to research that subject and get back to you on that one.

However, I have heard about the Virginia Tech massacre; however, I do not personally believe that it had anything to do with "mankind" abandoning the "way of the Lord" as much as it does that "one" man has abandoned the Lord's Way.

Which part of what I wrote can I be more specific about?

I think that the first statement made on the first page begs a little bit of a discussion. "Is there 6 billion right interpretaions of the bible"....I would have to say that there very well could be. I read a verse and ten other people read the same verse...yet we come out of it with different understandings, no? 6 Billion is streching it a bit...but I do think that even though I and someone else's interpretations are different...we can both be right. We will only know who is trully correct once we have the chance to ask our Maker.

How about this big pile of shit? God MUST? Must? God mustn't do anything he doesn't want. It's kind of limiting. On top of that, what verse of the bible enlightened you to this?

On top of that, if this were true, God would be a product of the scientific laws of the universe...not the other way around.

Calm down.

No, God does not have to "must," as you put it. However, based on what I have studied, it appears that God is all-wise, omniscient, technical, orderly, calculating, precise, etc. God follows His own rules and operates within His own self-established parameters. For example, the Bible says that God cannot lie. Can God not lie? Isn't this a limitation you ask? No, it is not. God is Truth, holy, righteous, sinless, and just. To lie would contravene His very Self (i.e. Who He is. God is literally Truth Personified). That is why He cannot lie. This may come across abstruse and esoteric (my apologies) but God is the actual Personification of His attributes (i.e. Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control). He is all of these things. (Another facet of revelation about the nature of God).

Again, which literal verse of the bible states this? And I didn't "as you put it". You did.

Wrong.

God is not a product of anything except Himself. God exists because God exists. Did that make sense? Just because something does not necessarily make sense does not mean that it is not true. God's literal reason for existing lies in the Truth that He lives. I know, this sounds like a paradox. But it is the Truth. God is the Cause of Himself that is why He does not have a Creator, beginning, or end. He is the Creator, Beginning, and End--Personified.

Furthermore, God is not bound nor governed by the scientific laws of the universe because He exists (i.e. lives) in another dimension that is not subject to the laws of the universe (remember God created the universe which implies that He occupies another dimension outside of the physical universe).

I'm sure you think I'm getting angry. (well, actually I know you do, since you're telling me to calm down) But by not answering the question you only make yourself out to be the hypocritical person you've always been. You've been operating that way forever Whob.

So, which verse of the bible says In order for God to have created physical matter He must occupy a dimension that is not comprised of physical matter. ?
