Yes, Rhea, Ill be back to the Temple, promise. For now, ill just answer this quick...Of course, on an Earthly level, checking things out, weighing the bag to make sure its right, etc. makes sense, but on the spiritual level, its counter-intuitive to that. Then, it is trust in the Spirit that...

Hi Rhea, I know, just believing in something for no reason, does bring it to a screaching halt. I do have my reasons for believing the Bible, despite the fact that it is sometimes whacky, sometimes not perfectly clear - but over-all, I think it has held up quite well after all this time. I Know...

Thank you and my apologies, I thought I had started this thread in General Religion. As far as preaching, I have simply been asking....If not the Bible,(to get us out of here alive) then what? I haven't gotten too much reply besides the Food Chain Song. So, it looks to me like its the Bible or...

Yes, all these items you list are near impossible to believe. And that's the point - the belief in things we can't see - Blessed is he who believes without seeing. That seems upside down to a materialist/rationalist, but that's the thing - God is beyond the rational, beyond our sight, so you are...

Hi Bilby, I believe you were non-existent, now you exist, with a chance to either carry-on, to the next level, or accept death. You believe that there is no alternative to death, when the Bible points out that there is, that God CAN change that. Although you say you accept death with a 'meh', do...

As I mentioned, what makes this Kool Aid different, for me, is that the sum of it all, discerned by me, adds up to TRUE - from what I have read in the Bible and about the Bible - it always comes out TRUE. For you of course, you have come to a different conclusion. So, getting past that (as I...

All these litte probs with the Bible. Christians are supposed to: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. I know what' you'll say - that's a good intro from any cult, but in this case (if it's the Cult you believe in) that's what God has instructed...

Yes, it is the ultimate placebo effect Mr. Banks. You will be happy for the rest of your life if you'd just swallow the little Jesus pill. I know, its not that easy...l.if you don't believe, you don't believe. But if you are foolish enough to get there, like me, then you'll have a sweet...

How do i know what is bullshit in the Bible? Firstly, I believe it is important to know that there could be bullshit in the Bible. Many Christians might claim its 100% true, but even God himself said, basically, at the end of Revelations, "he who adds or subtracts to the words in this Bible will...

Hi World Traveller, Thank you for your questions. I am no expert in religious studies to be sure, but I do have a few books kicking around like World Religions and Religions of the World, A couple Bibles, probably King James, a Koran somewhere, read the Bhagavad Gita way back, know little to...

No toaster Steve. I believe the Bible is true for a variety of reasons: it exists, for one. And then if you read it, you can either decide it's bull or there's something to it. I decided for myself that there is something to it - based on what I read in it, and based on what I read about it...

Hi Pood. Thank you for our question. For myself, when it comes to Genesis, I have not taken it literally, but more as symbolic. So maybe there was no exact Adam or Eve or Eden, but what is the meaning behind these stories? So there's no real Adam, I don't think we need to throw the entire Bible...

Sorry Pood, Temple's closed down. Ill just say somewhere between 6000 years and 6000 Billion - whatever the science tells us. Whatever the actual number, I just believe there was something/someone/God behind it all. It wasn't just a fluke. We don't know, but this might just be one of a zillion...

Thank you Elixir, I shall. Truth is what is. Bingo! That is probably as close to the truth about truth as we will get here in the thread of the Temple. For was it not God himself who said 'I am what I am'? Or was that Popeye? Either way, God being Truth, said "I am what I am" or in other...

Congratulations Steve, for being the historic first entrant to the Temple Of the Search for Truth. And bite you did. Unfortunately, I'm going to need to ask you go back and have another look at the question, because if you ask me what is truth, you're just going to get a bunch of Bible stuff...

Hey gang - I'm back, your favourite drive by Christian. Still believin' in that gosh dang holy Bible, I guess I'm back for another tour of duty into your wretched midsts. Who doth search for truth? Entereth all who hath nothing better to do. Careful on the polished granite. Let's sit here...

Hey Gang, How's it goin? It seems you weren't much impressed with my last bit of archaeological evidence in support of the Exodus. I admit, it wasn't entirely 100% smoking gun type stuff. And no, I do not base my entire belief in Exodus or the Bible on some nomadic remains. (while we're at...

Hey Gang, You say there is no evidence bu there is plenty of evidence. I was just reading about all sorts of archeological evidence. Here's one about Exodus. Who said that Exodus never happened. In 2018, they found (more) evidence. 10. EVIDENCE FOR THE EXODUS? NEW DISCOVERIES SUPPORT BIBLICAL...

Hi SoHy You seem like a decent person too, brainwashed by modern hogswash. Yes, my religion has been around for awhile. And? I was thinking about that today, how many people around here seem to not believe it based on how old (enduring I might say) of a belief it is. That seems to me about as...

There are a huge amount of people, many of them in the central US states, who claim to follow the Bible and Jesus who in fact have no clue? They are not following the rule of love thy neighbour. But do not let these imbeciles keep you from seeing the truth - that the Bible is in fact true. Did...
