elindra SG ok Anyway I always loved reading the Old Testament It's more interesting to read to me at least
Celtic Knot SG the 1st time and the only time i will keep skipping class is BIBLE Studies in school (and got caught by Principal at least 3 times)....so...
av98m SG all the good stuff is in there: sex, violence, sexual deviancy(brokebacking, incest etc), blackmail, lust, betrayal etc etc etc etc
elindra SG Sad to say I remember the old testament better then the new one too The new one with Jesus has alot of preachings in it and seriously not as interesting The old testament has this magic element to it and it sounds like a fairy tale
Fatum SG it's important that we don't become literalists in our interpretation of the scriptures, neh ? .... even the devil can quote scriptures to his advantage .......
elindra SG Nay not being literal about it but seriously if you read the Old Testament as a coffee table book it's like WOAH! Just get a bible
av98m SG easy. borrow from your christian friends. most should have at least one spare copy they can lend you
av98m SG I used to have a very nice leather bound one but dunno what happened to it, cannot find liao.
elindra SG Anyway, I'm agnostic. The problem with having a religion is that you must have faith to experience it. For me, I am just not the kind who will put my faith in something I have yet to experience and seriously just words besides the testimonals and all. I always say,"Maybe my time is not up yet for me to be close to a religion" Anyway I'm getting more family members turning Catholic
av98m SG Celtic, get hold of a king james's version, not the NIV one. The acharic language with all the thees and thous make it even better. The NIV ones are in modern english.
Fatum SG I have been going to catholic mass every single day .... though some may remember that i was a devout atheist before ...... yes ... blind faith is an oxymoron ..... you cannot have faith in something if you're not even sure if it exist in the first place ....... but I felt something ... I had an epiphanic moment about a month ago that moved me to tears .... much to my own chagrin ..... so I can say what I have now is not blind faith .....
Celtic Knot SG I got a BIBLE at home....during my school time one... hardly touched....cos i get 0/100 score in every tests..
elindra SG I'm not an atheist I mean as an agnostic, I'm really sitting on the fence At least as an atheist then, you decide that is no God. Wow! Mass every day
