Those who accept the Bible as the one and only true word of God are emotional centered people. They do not allow themselves to think.

LOL! That will come as news to CS Lewis, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Sir Isaac Newton, John Piper, William Buckley and many other brilliant thinkers.

The Bible must be read "In The Spirit", because it was written "In the Spirit". God is Spirit, and He is trying to communicate to "dead" people. Dead people can never "get" the Bible because they are dead. God is alive and we are dead, so how do we expect to understand a Being that is Higher than we can imagine in our dead, usless thinking. People that try to make their point by misquoting scripture prove that they don't "get" it. They are so smug, thinking that they have proven the Bible to be just tripe, but they know they are reading it out of context, but they do it anyway. This is that "desperately wicked" stuff already mentioned. When you become "born again", the Holy Spirit teaches the real meaning of the Bible and it becomes a light to you and you can't understand why someone else can't "get" it. But now you are on the other side looking back from God's point of veiw. Then you fall to your knees and thank God for choosing you and not passing you by when you see the "deadness" in the world. Trying to reason with dead people is useless.

One of the more humerous verses in the Bible(to me anyway), was when God says " I place before you cursing and blessing, death and Life." And then He has to tell us "Choose Life", because He knows we prefer death. Why would you have to tell a rational being to choose life.

Typical conversation between a Christian and Pagan:

Christian: "I know the way to eternal Life, do you want to hear?"

Pagan: "Screw you! get out a my face scumbag!"

Pagan to Pagan: "I know of a diet pill that really works!"

Other Pagan: "Will it make me live longer?"

They believe a diet pill is more effective than God.

I don't want to stone anybody, but God stoned the Sodomites. What will we think when our grandchildren are raped by sodomites and get HIV? Are the sodomites going to be so forgiving to Christians when they make the laws? Will we still be so keen to put down God's recomendation? Just ask some of the alter boys what they think a just punishment would be for some of the priests.

Flesh will never agree with God and see the wisdom of God, because Flesh has died to God. All Flesh is His enemy, until they are made alive by His Spirit.

Thomas Aquinas

Yes he was a brilliant thinker. My favorite quote from Tommy is:

Lord, give me chastity and self-restraint, but do not give it yet.
