This is the root of the problem when atheists don't bother to comprehend the bible before they criticize it. If only you knew how dumb you guys look to people who actually understand the book.

Any scientist or logician will be the first to tell you that holding to the idea that the only things in the universe that exist are those that our senses can pick up is a radically flawed line of reasoning.

^^ True,

And for racca, it only means calling someone an idiot and fool. We say worse today.

No. It's litteral meaning is Empty. In the context here as well as it's usage in jewish lit. It means morally empty. Nothing to save. Morally bankrupt with no chance of redemption because there is nothing to save. You can call someone a fool all you want. God does constantly.

That is the point. Any one can work to impress you with their own vanity. Are you trully looking for an answer to a specific question, or would you like to prove what you already believe you know?
Because if you already think Christians lack independence, are you seeking a evidence of why we must use scripture or just evidence to support the belief that we are limited to scripture?

I must say, this thread is awesome. I love the serious and not so serious questions and answers.

Question: why is there talk of baptism for the dead by Paul? I think the best argument is the one about what the word "baptism" means in the various languages.

Understand the book? I think you really mean interpret the book.

Also, what atheist are you talking about? I am a theist.

How do we truly understand the book then? If it's a rule, according to the word of God (which is where the authors were saying they were getting said rules), are you not supposed to follow it? Or only if it makes sense? Please elaborate.
