"We have found him of whom ...I am a Christian. "We have found him of whom Moses and the prophets wrote about". The Old Testament pointed to Jesus the New Testament does the same! I am thankful for the infallible Word of God for without it Jesus would have slipped into obscurity. I understand that in Christ alone we have salvation, but you can't separate Jesus from his word, the word written foretelling him or by him or about him. To just discount the Word and call ourselves "Christian" because we like portions of things Jesus said, would be like following Ghandi, MLK, Confucius or some other leader or philosopher. Jesus said; "if you reject him and the words he says you have one that judges you, the words that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." <br />My comments have been strictly within the context of the Holy Bible, I never referenced anything remotely about the Quran, the Bible in my opinion is unrivaled by any other writings. But, I guess in summary to our communications, readers will certainly know by all that you have written, that counterlight has at the least a lack if trust of the Bible, at worst almost a disdain for it.

If you have so little faith in the bible, why do you bother to talk about it? The falliblity of the men ought to testify to us the power of the God who authored the infallible Bible. Suppose you don't believe the bible is the infallible word of God, right? Just.

Where is the objectivity? When will the opposing view get such an undersranding, non critical host? Jays comments that Jonah in the whale was not literal, but, "satire"?<br /> I suppose the crucifixion and all the apostles persecuted deaths were a joke to Jay as well? <br />All the Christianity I grew up with made it clear that we hate the SIN but love the SINNER. Come on Jay, from one pk to another pk, what an embarrassment. The Bible was not given to us for us to temper it to our own liking. Learn it, live it, love it.<br />Oh the three words given for hell, that's no new revelation. How about defining each one and figuring out which one Jesus came to save us from?<br />Or is that satire too?PK Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-49382944936583227182011-08-24T21:13:29.781-04:002011-08-24T21:13:29.781-04:00I love the comment he makes around 13 minutes in, ...I love the comment he makes around 13 minutes in, when talking about the way religion is used in political campaigns, that "it's like a skit".Peter Schweitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717482101117776284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-41130666481209004202011-08-24T16:28:17.735-04:002011-08-24T16:28:17.735-04:00Whoa!
