You want the url to Eternal Hope?

A quick ans to your qn will be .. all men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

You see My Date with a Vampire 2? The world became so corrupt even Nuwa woke up from her slumber and wanna destroy the world.

Human beings came out with their own speech. The model that time was flat Earth. You find similar models in different civilization.

The world then was not ready for a round Earth. Imagine the bible wrote round Earth, people then would dump the book 'cos that is bullshit.

Then the bible would have no audience. Laughing

UandMe SG

oh, so u mean God is lying? or did people change the bible themselves so that the bible will have audience? then nothing can stop them from changing more things in the book then.

hohoho… from believing in Darwin talk until christianity… li nang xie kiang….

Icemoon SG

oh .. so you mean your science teacher lied to you when you were taught the electron cloud model? They were guilty of distorting the truth when they conveniently ignored the quantum model?

Did people change the bible? I dunno. What I meant was the bible should be written in a palatable form for the Hebrew nomads to understand.

Using the correct model is important in science. Beginners in astronomy start not by learning orbital motions, but by learning the "inverted bowl" horizon model. That is, the ground is flat and all the stars and planets are embedded underneath the inverted bowl. If science already liddat liao, what's more for unscientific desert wanderers 4000 years ago?

Blah Blah means you didn't exactly read what I wrote...So how could you understand? I pointed out the fact that it mentions idol-worshipping in the Bible. I was asking what religion it was pointing to, and saying that if it was pointing to Buddhism, which seems the obvious answer, then then the author/editor/whatever of that section of the Bible, was incorrect.

That is not pointing out a flaw in buddhism...

Icemoon SG

huh .. idol-worshipping in bible refers to buddhism?

Many forummers are impressionable. I think you had SIS and MCSquare fooled heh. Luckily Northwind only agreed "to an extent".

I agreed with the idea of willful ignorance being annoying...Let's not get manipulative...

The Holy Quran was passed down a different way. The 'Holy' title is most deserving. The Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), supposedly an illiterate, wrote the book with the angel Gabriel dictating to him in a cave. None of the biblical books were written this way.

Is it? Can you please provide an account of in what environment and by whom the present books of the bible were written?

'cos the Prophet never admitted Jesus is God in the Trinity. If you believe the Prophet, then you have to reject the biblical version. Take your pick.

And Jesus never said he was God either. The original translation was Light.

You have Jews and Christians reading the same books. (in the OT) Then you have Muslims who say those books are corrupted. No way we can test it. Neither can Muslims prove their version is most uncorrupted.

There were no Christians at the time of the OT, and the OT that was around were also many different books, some of which are definitely no longer included in the Bible.

You have to thank God for that. Imagine the whole world Christians very united one big family. They will surely affect govt. and politics. They will lobby like siao. Maybe they will ban evolution. Maybe they will ban condoms. Too scary liao.

No, you can thank Man for that.

Northwind SG

And multiply that times 2 and you get the number of morons who defend ideas that they do not even understand, furthering willful ignorance.
Multiply that times 100 and you get Cockroaches....more must be good...

Northwind SG

Uh....We know that man wrote, translated, edited, changed the Bible....

Northwind SG

You will see I am asking what religion it refers to.

Interesting how you can be so scholarly about Astronomy, and yet not be able to see the other half of what I wrote there...

Icemoon SG

I'm more interested in the issue you're trying to raise. so what's the issue in the idol worshipping example?

Astronomy ah .. it is one of the few interests in my life, so I do know a thing or two. Mr. Green

Icemoon SG

Spare me the agony. You want me to write 66 paragraphs? Mad If there is any book you want to discuss, just say so. My assertion is, there isn't any account of the 66 books in the Bible written in the same way as the Holy Qu'ran. Illiterate author + dictation (not revelation) = Holy Scripture.

And Jesus never said he was God either. The original translation was Light.

Ah .. are we starting another debate whether Jesus is God? And original translation of which verses?

God or no God, the Gospels record the crucification and resurrection account. How to reconcile the resurrection account you tell me?

There were no Christians at the time of the OT, and the OT that was around were also many different books, some of which are definitely no longer included in the Bible.

You are just plain confusing the biblically un-inclined because there is no such thing as the Old Testament before the canon of the bible was decided! Wink

How you define OT? Septuagint? Torah?

I think the point is clear. Go flip the Tanakh. Are there books inside not included in the Christian Bible?

No, you can thank Man for that.

No .. thank God for that. Thank God for not giving clear instructions to his believers.

You pple always say "why didn't God write Earth is round? Why didn't Jesus appear in front of me? Why didn't blah blah .. " Precisely 'cos God didn't that's why you have to thank Him mah. Mr. Green

crazy monkey SG

CIA say there are WMD in Iraq Laughing
