Bible Discussion Thread

@Alexander's what you say is laughable. �Didn�t need to go study Hebrew or Greek but really need to learn English. Many misquote and misinterpret the bible simply because we don't understand the old English prose that the bible was written in.� the same could be said when it was translated from Hebrew to Greek to English. Who knows, it is possible to think that many misquote and misinterpret the bible simply because they weren�t able to translate it originally to Greek. Can you see the nock on affect?
It asinine to think we will need to learn 16th English just to understand the bible. I doubt the Greek to English really understood each other.
What you perch I find is insane. To quote you again �stop trying to do our own good works and waiting for us TO GIVE UP TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY that HE WOULD BEGIN TO WORK IN US!!� and �ISAAC was not born because of ABRAHAMS works because Abraham tried to have a son on his own works and produced Ishmael!!� I might be seeing this wrong (since your comment was too long) but you are saying two things. One Ishmael was made by Abraham and not god (WRONG). Second it could be interpret that we should not do any good intentionally as god will hate it. We should just wait for god to save everyone. That will help the starved; we have free will so we can do good works. That will save us.
God will ask you (after you have resurrected) �what have you done for me?� If you just say I have faith but did no good deeds for you, or tried to save others from the fire while I was earth. He will say �I don�t need such man�.
Can�t remember what Hebrew scripture (or if my translation is quite right, the jest is there so don�t say I got a word back to front) I read & it stuck with me.
