The bible is based in faith 20 people can read the bible and have 8-12-15 and yes 20 different interpretation of it i.e
Go forth and multiply do you really think JESUS was saying YOU CAN"T WEAR A COMDOM this is what a lot of Catholics thinks!!.
Do you really think JESUS even had any idea what a COMDOM was !!!
IF their even was a JESUS How do you know he was"nt just telling people go and have a good life sure he would expect them to have CHILDREN because he knew they would be having SEX so of course 1 & 1 makes 2 and of course their was no such thing as COMDOM'S
The Jewish people believe their was no JESUS and they were around in that time and in fact it happen on there LAND
So one group says the other is a lier JEWS say ONE thing the catholic Say's another
I personal find it very arrogant for anybody to think they are right
Your observation is correct. 20 people reading the same bible come up with a number of conflicting understandings. It's also quite commonplace for one to read a biblical passage, scratch his head and wonder, "Now, what the hell did that mean?"
The Roman Catholics have an easy time of it. They never have to read the bible. The theological hierarchy in the Vatican takes care if the interpretation for all and instructs the faithful accordingly.
Of course every so often, someone takes exception with the official version, runs off, and organizes his own church.
We need a true seperation of church and state your religon should be tought in your home and your CHURCH not our schools
True. However, this does not preclude cooperation between the two. Faith based organizations have been shown to do a better job of managing social programs than does the government with all its red tape and inherent inefficiencies.
Their are 100's if not 1000' of other exempls I an others can give you!!
Don't be bashful, pour them out.
And by the way IN GOD WE TRUST SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF OUR MONEY
because most of what the BIBLE DOES SAY is JESUSlove the POOR not the RICH
To the best of my knowledge, Christ preached, "Love thy neighbor.", with no mention of economics.
i.e It's harder for a RICH man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is to put a THEAD THOUGH A NEEDLE!! ( This may not be perfet word for word but it's close !!been many years )
That was His way of saying that the rich should not neglect to be charitable toward the poor.
