Originally posted by David CYou are making your own weird conclusions friend. In simple terms I said that knowing the Bible off by heart does not warrant knowing the God of the Bible, as was probably the case with Herr Dan Barker...
So, you're saying Nic is wrong when he states de facto that he knows more about the bible simply because he reads the bible? How interesting. Is this an example of the rational thought you are bestowed with after 'accepting' Jesus?
Originally posted by David CNow seriosuly. You are saying that Dan Barker knows more of the Bible than Nic does eventhough Nic reads the Bible. And I am saying that knowing the Bible more than Nic, does not warrant knowing God. Nic who might know less of the Bible than Dan Barker, may know God whereas Dan Barker may not know God at all.
You just paraphrased my point precisely. Are you having some difficulty comprehending what I'm saying?
Is that what you were saying? Then we agree. ๐

Now, if i would read the Bible, wouldnt i be interrested in the contents of the Bible? Why would anyone read any book if they are not interrested in the contents of that book?
I read the Bible, cause of the fact that i can learn from it, i am interrested in it, i love it, and know what God wants me to do wiht it. The Word is God, and God is the Word.
