@josephwsaid Perhaps you can advise him concerning his misanthropic attitude against those that disagree with him as evidenced by his response to suzianne above.
You should look misanthropic up in the dictionary as you appear to not know what it means.
@divegeestersaid Just answer the question. Just show some balls and actually answer a straightforward question unequivocally.
Is it possible for god’s word to be undermined or not?
I did answer "straightforwardly", but you appear not to be able to understand.
When you question the veracity of the scriptures you are undermining their authority.
Remember what Satan said to Eve? "Did God say?" Then you obfuscate what is written by launching into a pile of claptrap about metaphors and symbolism and completely miss the meaning and intent of the narrative.
YOU undermine the scriptures. And then lie about it.
@fmfsaid "Undermining their authority" in whose eyes? "Undermining their authority" over whom?
In the eyes of the God you don't know exists.
Their authority over you. There is God's word, and there is your word. If you knew God existed, and was the author of the written word, whose word would have the greater authority? Yours or God's?
But they don't have any "authority over" me. Hi, josephw, I'm FMF. I'm an agnostic atheist. Nothing you or divegeester say can alter the degree of "authority over" me that your religion's writings have.
