I am the one with the ridiculous hope that you all will see the error of your ways and admit the bible was written by men and no help was ever needed by a god.

the greatest story ever told. All authors continued a consistant theme that
runs thoughout the entire story. It took hundreds of years to complete it
because the author were scattered through time. Some were inspired to
write prophecies that they had received from God through dreams and
visions. And many of these prophecies came true some in our lifetime even.
There are still prophecies that we are waitng to come true. The most
important, for us Christians is the return of Jesus, as the Son of Man, to
take over his place as King of Israel. What other religious book has dared
to predict the future? There is no other book that can compare to that.
It has consistantly been the best selling and most published book in all
history. So, if anyone is blinded, it is those that pay no attention to it.
Originally posted by DowardThe best and most literally accurate translation, in my opinion, as well
most serious scholars avoid the KJV. It is useful if you use a concordance, otherwise there are superior translations: NRV, NSRV, NLT etc...
many biblical scholars, is the New American Standard Bible. Many of
the others are too liberal with paraphasing the translations.

What baseless insult did I hurl in the response to you? I simply informed
you what you need to do if you want to know the truth of the matter. What is so insulting about that?

Those poor misinformed individuals who study the Hindu texts, or the Cabala, or the Quran are all condemned to everlasting flames of hell?

2 Corinthians 4:3,4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Originally posted by karoly aczelThat's true karoly. We(Christians)are not supposed to judge the lost. We are only allowed to judge amongst ourselves.

But the Word of God says the lost are judged already until and unless they trust in God's provision for salvation. i.e. Christ.
