If you could ask God one question...[W:20]

Which version of the bible is infallible?

I use several different versions...the New American Bible, the New English Bible, the King James, the American Standard, Byington, New World Translation...but I prefer the latter because it is easier to understand , it contains God's name, Jehovah, in all the some 7,000 accounts His name was omitted from some versions, so it remains loyal to God's original words...
 

How do you know it remains loyal to god's original words? Do you have an answer book?

But it wasn't BANG!, and the world was there as we know it. Science doesn't say that.

Can I ask you how you believe [or factually know, since science isn't based on beliefs or faith,] our universe (and all within it) came into existence? What was the specific object that existed at the very absolute beginning moment of history that the universe (and all within it) came out of?

In fact, for a very long time there wasn't even a we (as in human beings) to see what was there.

So how do you factually KNOW what was there many billions of years ago? Wouldn't that make your own viewpoint on this topic a faith based belief in a similar way that my religion is?

From a biblical point of view, if you look at the original Hebrew, this is one of the few times she's right. "The Morning Star", translated as 'lucifer' in the Latin, refers to the
Phoenician myth about Attar, who vainly tried to replace Baal when Baal died, and fell. The passage in Isaiah is comparing King Nebuchadnezzar with a false God whose overwhelming ambition made him reach too high and fall in disgrace. It has nothing to do with Satan what so ever.
 

Thank you...

You snicker at Davey's post but where does the energy released during a nuclear explosion come from??? Matter contains energy that can be released!!!! Burn a block of wood and release the energy in heat!!! The Bible itself alludes to this when it says all energy/matter comes from God, and thus creation exits from God's energy. FFS!!!
 

The preponderance of physical evidence strongly suggests that man did not appear on the scene for billions of years after life first appeared on earth. And simply living as long as I have I realize that things are constantly changing. Some life forms have become extinct within recent history. Mankind has changed an developed technology that did not exist within my lifetime and my parents and grandparents lifetime. So logically, it makes sense that the way things are now is quite different from how it was billions of years ago.

Science is not just a story in a book. It is backed by research and physical evidence. So no, my viewpoint is not the same as yours, even though you would like to claim that false equivalence.
 

Just like a stopped clock.

This brings up an interesting question: Is a false god a god nonetheless, just one that you shouldn't follow?

False gods are what some people claim that Jehovah is...gods made up in people's minds...they do not exist outside of that...now Satan, that's a different story...he most certainly has supernatural powers to deceive people and make them think they are worshiping a real god, when in reality, it is him they are really worshiping...

From a historical perspective it looks like that the early Jews had it ad it as 'one you shouldn't follow', but over time evolved into 'there can be only one', and the others aren't really Gods at all.
 

That is pretty far fetched. But if it was true, it means that even a person such as yourself could be worshiping satan without knowing it. It's kind of a self-defeating view.

Not if you believe what the Bible says and worship what it distinguishes as to who the true God is...Jehovah...that is one reason why using His name is so important...Jesus emphasized using His name while He was on earth, even in prayer...Matt. 6:9,10...
 

Maybe satan controls your view of the bible.
