The title of the source article, “What Does the Bible Say?”, will no doubt be given a thorough beating as it appears what the Bible says will always take second or third place to the traditions and writings of so called “Church fathers”.
Toss in reinventing the meaning of common words and the fall back position of “It’s all a mystery” and you have the makings of a long and salty thread.
But I keep hoping to be surprised. Cheers!
So, the Gospel of John has to be thrown out to make the argument of the Snowflake Sect work, and now someone apparently thinks that the book of Luke wasn't inspired either.
Luk 1:41 And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Luk 1:42 And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Luk 1:43 And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
So, The Holy Spirt lied to Elizabeth, the author of the Book of Luke made a mistake which means the Book of Luke doesn't belong in the Bible, or is it that it wasn't really the Holy Spirit that came to Elizabeth but some other spirit and the folks who wrote the Bible wanted to hide that fact?
People who pretend to believe the Bible is the Word of God but throw out part of the Christian canon and instead accept the Pharisee canon will always end up throwing out and ignoring other parts of the Bible as well. In addition, they'll always interpret what the retain any way that suits them at the moment. Whether it's finding clear Scripture against gambling right up until the "good church members" are going on junkets to Vegas or preaching against tattoos right up until the "hip crowd" who they want to toss money in their tamborine all have tats, it's always the same. They will always modify the Scriptures to suit their personal preferences. They absolutely refuse to surrender, take up their cross, and follow Christ instead of following their own inclinations and avoiding that tacky cross with Christ on it.
