Do you recognize the paradoxes in the description of your God?

Can he possibly be the Omni-everything as described?

I find it interesting that God is described as unknowable, unfathomable and one who we cannot possibly understand with our lack of intelligence. He also works in mysterious ways.

Does it sound to you like the bibles authors went a bit overboard in their description of a God whom they say cannot be known or fathomed?

If they could not fathom anything of God, why do you think you can?

When you do describe your un-describable God, --- based purely on hearsay and book-says, --- as a Christian, --- do you see that unknowable information that you think you know to be true even though the bible itself says it cannot be, --- as lying?

If not, how do you know you speak the truth?

The Bible is a glorified book of stories, manipulated into a tool of propaganda by corrupt popes.

According to the Bible, you can pay a nominal fee to have all your sins forgiven.That should say it all

What section of the Bible says that?

To my knowledge, indulgences are wild interpretations of biblical passages which do not mention money exchange.

Right, but which one says "Give me money and I'll spare you from Hell/Purgatory?" Part of the reason why the practice pissed off Martin Luther so much is because it wasn't in the Bible of the time.

I don't know. I have only read the King James version.

My bad. That's not in the Bible, the church used to say it was in the Bible.

The doctrine of omnipotence isn't biblical.

They use unfathomable and also a number of word that are basically synonyms.
