You say I'm mean, I say I'm serious. So whatever to that.Originally Posted by LHX
Yeah, 1500 years isn't a long time compared to eternity, that still doesn't leave out the fact that no one has met the challenge and all that's occured is the easiest thing possible, talking.
You assume that the scriptures were written by people and assumptions are just as dangerous as any other form guessing without adequate research. The newer versions of The Torah and Gospel were re-written. The original versions were not written by people. But then, you'd have to have faith to grasp that. The Qur'an is the only book that hasn't been changed since it's revelation. Since you're so fond of calling bluffs, call this one. Go try to find a single copy that isn't like another. Give me one chapter and verse that differs from the same numbered in another copy. Tell yourself to try critical thinking. I'm not the one who contradicts myself in my own posts. There's a fine line between critical thinking and trying to tell someone that the earth is flat. Wrap your mind around that one.
What's wrong with mocking scripture you say? Isn't it there to be scrutinized/ tested/refined? This is a clear-cut case of how much you don't know. To answer your question, if you can even call it that, NO. Scriptures are rules. Savvy? Law. Set forth to maintain order. You wouldn't need LAW if you weren't LAWLESS and contrary to popular and childish belief, their set forth for the positive develpoment of mankind. Too many people are brats in this case though, because they think any and all rules are meant to be questioned, taunted, bent and broken habitually. Their meant to be followed, just like the laws set forth by your government, that I'm sure you're much more willing to follow, are set forth to maintain a certain order. All you do when you mock scripture is jump on the bandwagon of the thousands if not millions of other people who do the same thing. It doesn't matter what the new generations do, what was written was written. Men change the words to suite their own fancies and it's always short-lived. Your vision of The Scripture's purpose is born from what you see other people doing to and with it, not from what it's actual purpose is. Try thinking for yourself along with that 'critical thinking' method you mentioned.
So, the fact that your words are short makes up for the fact that their empty. Do you think about these things before you type, or do you just start typing?? Considerate? Hey, if people don't want to read, they won't read. I don't really stop and ask myself, "Self, what if the amount of words in my post scares those less inclined to read away from what I type?" so it makes me no difference.
Yes, the answers are set forth. I'm typing because it's an open thread and I felt like touching on the subject. The only thing truly redeeming about all of this is seeing how many hilarious conclusions people can come up with.
Dared to keep an open mind?? No, you've dared to come up with conclusions that have no factual backing except, "It could happen".
Don't forget, I wasn't talking to you to begin with, you approached me and not even in a decent manner. So again, if I seem mean, perhaps you should think about how you approach people before you apporach them.
"Die before you die."-Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh)
