Purpose!
 
There are people on this site whose sole purpose is to question every bible principle!

Don't forget that these people hate the bible and the name of Jesus Christ.

They spread their propaganda where ever and how ever they can!

That is very harsh Rev. I could not say that about anyone here - even those holding the more heretical views - I don't equate that with hating the name of Jesus.

Why the angst?

If this doesn't apply to you then don't worry about it!

Perhaps I know a little more about the tactics they use then you do.

Job is to read the scriptures. Not re write them.

On the topic of evolution, I am told the bible is pretty much wrong and without special interpretation, we will have plagues if we stay with it as written.

I really enjoy finding a bible principle and look for how many places that principle is mentioned.

Principle Once saved always saved. I have found 15 people that were right with God that lost their slavation.

What plagues? Since the bible is wrong there are no plagues!

You sound like the Mystery Religion guys who say the bible is wrong and then quote from it to "prove" their doctrine! :ursofunny

Those are some pretty strong accusations and that is quite judgmental!

Are you saying that about them because they may have a different opinion than you on some things?

Who's they? Are you talking about Pel in the evolution thread? Timmy?

Look. Do you honestly think that people on the other side of the argument hate the Word of God and are the enemy? Or do you think that they have a lifetime of study and experience they are drawing from just like you. You think they waste time on these forums just to lead people astray? Really?

Using evolution as an example. I personally don't care one way or the other. Doesn't affect my walk with God at all. Do I think that God has it in is power to use evolution to accomplish his master plan? Sure. Do I know whether he did or not? Nope. Do you know? Nope. Does it diminish God's power to think that evolution could be a component in creation? No. Could he have done it all in an instant? Of course. I have a tendency to believe that God uses natural means (of his own creation, of course) to achieve his goals. To me, that is just as awesome as if it happened with the flip of a switch.

The reason people (like me) get so worked up, I believe, is that others claim to have THE answer when there is no way they could possibly have it. You read and interpret, Pel reads and interprets. Coadie reads and .... I'm not sure what he does. But, in my experience, people who make absolute claims about answers they have no way to know generally need some absolute answer in their own minds because they are afraid of the alternative. The idea that God could use evolution is not the answer you want to hear. Thus it's an abomination. It's the devil. It's false. The fact is, there are compelling arguments to be made for it without it meaning that anyone is demon possessed. (sorry, Coadie).

Yes, if I didn't know any more than you do I wouldn't be on here.

By the way - your opinion means nothing to me.

By the way thanks for keeping this thread on top.

Some need to read it and be warned about the deeds of others.

Pardon me, but what I have posted to offend you so? Did I post something to deserve being called a serpent? Was my post in this thread so offensive? Honest question here. I realize my opinion doesn't matter (clearly), but what's the deal?

One must know what they believe and why they believe it by the word of God.

I'll say this if people haven't read their bibles all the way through,they should stay out of doctrinal discussions.

I've read it four times from Genesis to maps.

But the bible must be studied by subject, not just read through.

Read every verse on any given subject over and over until you understand everything about that subject.

People don't do that and that's the reason that there are so many false interpretations.

Before a doctrine can be formulated one must study everything the bible says about a subject.
