THE RUDENESS OF HAVING SCRIPTURES AND BIBLES AS
AUTHORITY IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT OF OTHERS
The Christians have a book called the Bible which is supposed to be the word of
God, in other words, it was authored by God through men. It consists of the Old
and New Testaments. True Christians teach that the Bible is infallible for God
can't make mistakes.
If you are allowed to doubt and question and have faith only when it suits you
there would be no need for Churches and Bibles - indeed it would be wrong to
support them for they cause hurt and division - eg Roman Catholicism not
allowing Protestants to receive communion. The Church and the Bible claim that
the person who doubts or picks and chooses what he or she likes out of them and
discards the rest is sinning and is calling God a liar. The fact that the person
might not be doing that but merely thinking that the teachings the Church and
the Bible says are God's might not be God's at all is dishonestly ignored. The
person who faced with the prospect of doubting God's revelations and calling God
a liar could simply change the reason for doubting. He could doubt that the
messages are really God's. Then he has a free rein to doubt! Hinduism and
Buddhism have no problem with doubt. It is only bigoted arrogant faiths such as
Christianity and Islam and Judaism and Mormonism that do.
They are forced to admit that the Bible contains parts which are unclear. There
are far more interpretations of the Bible among Christians than there are
religious sects. This is because of the lack of clarity. The Christians have
books in defence of the Christian lie that there is no error in the Bible but
say some passages are obscure. One of them is When Critics Ask, (Norman Geisler
and Thomas Howe, Victor Books, Illinois ,1992) which admits that there are
unclear parts in the Bible (page 18, 40). Yet these books try to make out that
there are no errors in the Bible. The authors only admit the obscurity for they
are forced to and will look stupid or deceitful if they don't admit it. But lack
of clarity proves that the Bible makes errors for lack of clarity is an error.
It is just as serious as a contradiction. A contradiction says one thing and
says the other as well. So it tells you nothing. So does lack of clarity.
Christians have been told this for centuries and they refuse to hear. Also, if
the Bible contradicts itself about say when Jesus did something it proves that
it is accusing God of making a mistake. It is doing that just as much if there
is a lack of clarity. Lack of clarity contradicts the Bible claim that God does
not make mistakes or that God is almighty and all-knowing. Contradiction in the
Bible does that too. Lack of clarity proves the Bible is not the word of God.
The Bible is supposed of speak of three, Father and Son
and Holy Spirit and yet it says there is only one God. That is hardly clarity
and is a possible contradiction. The Christians speculate it means there is one
it as regards God and three whos or three persons in one God which may make no
sense for they admit that they don't understand this.
It says a lot about Christians when they don't see the Bible saying that God
commanded the Jews to stone adulterous people to death as in capital punishment,
commanding Jesus to accept crucifixion and a degrading death, saying people
deserve to suffer for all eternity in Hell and the Bible declaration that
doubting God's word is the ultimate sin as errors. That is heartless. No truly
good person pretends that these are not errors and that the Bible saying Abraham
did such and such and then saying the opposite would be an error!
The Bible advocates racism by having God say that Israel and the Hebrew race
were above all races.
The Bible says that God hates people who sin. In Deuteronomy 28:63 we read, "And
as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so the Lord
will rejoice to bring ruin upon you and destroy you". "An Ammonite or a Moabite
shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth
generation their descendants shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord
forever" (Deuteronomy 23:3). There is no way the Christians can pretend, "The
Bible just says God's hates sinners when it means he hates their sin - that was
the way things were spoken and written in the Hebrew tongue." But even if they
had a point it could still mean he hates sinners not just sins. But there is no
way their excuse can work for the verses quoted. They leave you in no doubt that
God hates sinners.
Jesus Christ said that if your eye leads you to sin - in relation to looking at
a woman with lust or sexual desire - you must gouge it out for it is better to
go into the Kingdom of Heaven with one eye than to be condemned to punishment
with two. He meant you must do whatever it takes to avoid sin. Theologians say
the gouging was just poetic and not literal for Jesus didn't make his randy
apostles gouge out their eyes. But he certainly thought that it was better to go
insane and gouge than to be sane and look at the woman and sin. The Christian
religion says that sin is the cause of all evil so it is the biggest evil of all.
Non-religious people and most of the religions in the world deny this. It is
more human to be repulsed at human suffering more than human sin.
Jesus said you can't judge anybody or condemn their sin if you have sin yourself
and must take care of your own sin before you highlight anybody else's. So if
the local gossip interferes when you argue with your wife you can't tell her it
is none of her business. Society can't function with the nonsense that Jesus
Christ spouted.
Don't validate such scriptures by attending Church!
They are worth one thing only and that is criticism.
