More likely, you're basing off what others (like ministers) have told you the Bible said. Sorry to say, a lot of them are wrong.

And according to the Bible some people will be rewarded more than others in Heaven. Don't ask me for all the details because I don't know everything, but apparently there is different levels of reward.
You know what, I'm tired of people calling me ignorant. I'm the only one quoting the Bible here, why is that ignoarnt. Since when did God's word become a mute point in christianity. It's just ridiculous.

Its not polite to call someone's religious views 'nonsensical', or any other name for that matter. You seem to have a valid point, but please try to be respectful. If everyone can remember that as the thread continues, that would be great.

Anthony and 80u2isBest,
I apologize if my words came off too strong...but as offended as I was, I meant to question the ideas rather than attack the individual. Nevertheless I could have done it in a more civil way, and for that I do apologize.
LeafsNation said:
That being said, I strongly believe that 80sU2isBest words were deliberately provocative...otherwise he wouldn't have prefaced his assertion with , "as unpopular as the idea is, I'm not going to sugar coat what the Bible says....". He was keenly aware that his words would offend some, so why would he be so taken aback by a response like mine? The way I see it, if you're going to stoke the fire, be ready to take some heat.
LeafsNation said:
With respect to 80sU2isBest comment that I "should read" the bible, I'm interested in knowing why he would assume that as a Catholic I haven't. Is this genuinely friendly advice, or I wonder if I should be reading something between the lines?
Cheers,
LN

Who called you ignorant?
I don't recall any verse saying that the whole Bible is God's word. For it never references itself.
80sU2isBest said:
2 Tim 3:16
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
Irvine511 said:
so is the bible like those TV movies that are "inspired by actual events"?
80sU2isBest said:
Nope. The Greek for "inspired by" actually means "given by".
The phrase "inspired by God" means "God-breathed".
And I didn't write "I believe" that time, because that is not just my belief. That is what the Lexicon says.

shart1780 said:So which parts of the Bible do you think need to be followed. And how did come to the conclusion that the verses you choose to follow are the ones that need to be followed.
I explained the context of this one above.shart1780 said:Consider these scriptures
2nd Timothy 3: 16-17
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work

2nd Peter 1: 20-21)
"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

i'll see you there, since i'm clearly going to hell since i'm not going to repent for the way God made me.
