On Trusting the Bible

The Geminian offers that the bible is written, writing is the work of man, the bible is a work of man.

Did it really take God two weeks on MT. Sinai to carve two stone tablets? No, I am afraid a better explanation would be that Moses spent a day or so looking for the right stones and sat for two weeks chipping away at them, while apparently the rest of the world forgot about Moses' God.

God has never written anything, Jesus apparently could not write, and everyone who ever met him died before "manuscripts" began popping up.

The "King James Version," that says it all, a version, one of thousands.

The point of writing is to convey one's idea to another. The bible does not tell us to do bad things, but it does say listen to me, think only of me, it reinforces itself and the ideas of the writers, while simultaneously rejecting any new or outside ideas.

While the bible speaks to many, I say to you that it is not God or Jesus speaking to your heart, but that your heart hears the woes and wisdom of your fellow man, the same troubles and anguish you feel today in your life was also felt then, oppression, loss, deprivation, desperation, loneliness, lost ness and their resolutions can be found in those pages. Guidance in the form of experience can be found to aid us in the midst of tribulation.

If Jesus brought a message, then he is a messenger, and his message was not "talk about me." Something about "love," I think, sounds nice.

The bible, whether its brand new or thousands of years old, is written, a biography, a history book, a greatest hits from The Age of Scriptural Manufacturing, a "Guide to Dealing with Suffering for Dummies," and like any other writing, has been edited, and the writers and editors are dead.
While writing down good ideas is good, writing down bad ideas is equally polar, Can you say that no one has ever been able to inject their own ideas for their own purpose into your bible? Rather, it is more probable that many of these "bad ideas" have made their way into your Bibliography.

Those messages, those ideas that divide us, dehumanize our opposers, oppress and devalue the worth of life, they abide just the same, and will continue to.

Look to the bible for human guidance and human commonality for your human experience. As for God, he was found long before pen and paper, rock and chisel, before Jesus, before Moses, Before Eve, and without a church.

Here's a project: If King James can edit the bible than so can you, go through and rip out those pages and black out the lines you don't feel. As you remove those pages, so too are you removing bad ideas and propaganda, the same that has hurt many for centuries, leaving what words speak to you and move you, and promote love and compassion, I am sure you will still find God in those remaining words.

Is Jesus The Anti-Christ?
