Let me get this straight, Jesus Christ is an impostor and Christians are all dupes because Jesus Christ thinks Genesis is a fraud?
What makes you think Jesus Christ who IS the Word thinks Genesis is a fraud?
I was talking about the Catholic Church, not J*sus.
As I said in a prior post, I am getting sick and tired of hypocritical Catholics reacting so angrily whenever I point out the Biblical orientation of the vast majority of the earth's Catholics, very much including those on FR. Your "enlightened" co-religionists post their smirking doubts about the truth of the Bible quite often, yet you lot never seem to see it. How do you manage that, exactly? Exactly what game are you playing, pretending that this isn't so? What about your co-religionist sfassisi's remark about Genesis being true "typologically" (but not historically, it is implied). But no, you never see that, or if you do you never reply to it. Or what about the smirking rationalist who made the crack about those silly people who believe there really was a Biblical Flood and an Ark? Where were you then? Checking your watch, I suppose?
You Catholics are always ready to jump down my throat for pointing out the simple obvious fact that most Catholic FReepers do not regard Genesis as historically accurate, yet when your co-religionists are actually exhibiting this attitude you are nowhere to be found.
I understand that as a Lutheran convert you're really trying to be gung-ho and demonstrate your loyalty. I don't know if to do this you have either become a higher critic yourself or if you just keep your head stuck in the ground so you won't have any cognitive dissonance. But facts are facts. If you do indeed believe the total Bible is totally inerrant on all subjects whatsoever, then why don't you challenge your Bible-hating co-religionists when they're running the Scriptures down as the untrustworthy product of a naive, pre-scientific era?
I was a member of your Church for about six years. My conscience tormented me because of my implication in such a liberal religion that essentially called G-d a liar. You may have found a way to deal with the situation, but I can't say that I admire you for ignoring your conscience.
You either challenge your co-religionists on the Bible or I will. And I don't think your attacking me for defending G-d's Word is very noble.
Well, whatever you were talking about I specifically asked you about Jesus Christ.
Now, who convinced you that Jesus Christ, God from God, doesn't take His Word seriously given the fact that Jesus Christ is The Word incarnate?
