The church is not the Bible and its actions do not always align with the Bible and often are in contradiction to it.

Have you read the Bible? Or are you talking about a book (actually compilation of 66 books) you’ve never read?

Like I told you in another thread: Try to think for yourself and not just parrot what the majority seems to think is correct. Break from the amoral herd.

Sounds like psychological projection. How could you speak on the Bible when you’ve never read it and are so clueless about it?

You understand the church and the Bible are not the same thing?

There is zero science in the bible, except maybe how to enslave people and subjugate women.

Early developments and discoveries doesn't equate to being more advanced than modern understanding.

Are the Wright brothers more advanced than NASA?

How many denominations are there? Word of god is confusing even for believers.

Have you read the Bible?

Rhetorical question. I know you haven’t as your understanding and knowledge of it is nearly as bad as Ghost’s.

I suppose you’re next going to claim you have a theology degree.

Fragmented and contradictory.

Have you read the Bible? Why don’t you want to answer that question? Because it would reveal you’re talking about something from a position of total and complete ignorance.

Who do you think you are, Ghost? One lying blowhard per forum, and Ghost fits the bill here. Maybe try the Debates forum?

Not at all contradictory and you haven’t been able to cite a single contradiction.

As far as “fragmented,” you do realize the Bible comprises 66 books written over a time period of thousands (not decades) of years, don’t you?

Or was that another banana peel moment for you?

You actually do not know about the bible story. Again I wonder why you speak before learning.

Do you realize actions of the church often contradict the Bible? And that the two are not the same?

I was kicked out of sunday school for insisting on asking questions. Yes I have read the bible, most of it.

Oh hey, most printed book, most least read.
