Why is everything in the Bible true and accurate?

Have some courage. Confront the posters who propagate the doctrine.

Confront them about what?

I knew you couldn't admit to mud slinging.

The doctrine they propagate: the inexplicably cruel and neverending violence meted out by their God figure as revenge for non-belief/unforgiven "sins".

Divegeester said it was a serious honest question. Why are you slinging mud? What's your excuse?

I'd rather confront you about your mischaracterizations of the scriptures and your mud slinging innuendos directed at those that believe God more than you.

Perfect. FMF is Christianophobic.

I don't believe it.

You won't believe it.

This is a point I have made countless times in other threads here, but I guess it has to be repeated yet again. The Bible is a snapshot in time, frozen at the 4th c. Not everything in it is morally defensible now; there are things in it no sane person, Christian or otherwise, should believe or put into practise. (Ex. 22:18 a case in point -- despite what Jesus said, namely, " ...[text shortened]... e.

This is not my personal opinion; it has been official doctrine since the time of the Apostles.

I can't find anything in the Bible that supports anything you said.

I know full well this is what you'd rather say and do. That's why I frequently have to urge you to have a bit more discursive courage. You have your shorts knotted about my perception of the doctrine - a doctrine even you think is ugly and wrong - but you are too interpersonally weak to take it up directly with those who propagate it.

I guess you missed it somewhere. The "doctrine" of everlasting punishment is a biblical truth.

Those that reject God's Christ will spend eternity separated from God in outer darkness.

There's no reason for me to "take it up" with those that know that truth.

You can't talk in a straight line because it is you that is interpersonally weak, and you lack any intellectual integrity because you lie like hell.

I am referring to the doctrine of torture in burning flames for eternity.

Yawn.

Take it up with those who propagate the doctrine of torture in burning flames for eternity. You never do. You always take it up with people who don't subscribe to the doctrine, like me.

Of course you can't. It's not in there. It's not supposed to be in there. It was never supposed to be in there.

I would direct your attention to one Robert Dick Wilson. You won't find a more authoritative person with regards to your OP.

Only 16 pages. Very interesting, but if you don't want to read it, then by all means continue in your denial.

If you should actually read it you might want to follow up with Ivan Panin. Most interesting.

I’m not reading 16 pages of a book, I’m asking YOU.

Which of those scriptures you posted on the previous page which were written thousands of years before the compilation of the Bible we have today, indicate that this book is entirely accurate, entirely true, entirely moral and with no mistakes etc?

@josephw said
Years and years of reading and studying both the Bible and many books about the Bible. It is absolutely 100% reliable cover to cover.

So you are just appealing to your own authority based on “years and years” of your own authority… I see.
