...God, Who science proves to exist, actually did examine science before He set it in place
Yet another claim pulled directly from your ass
Prove it
It is a logical conclusion based on the things that god's witnesses in the bible said and say.
It is a hearsay (at best).
Oh, because the bible says so?
The bible also says that rabbits chew their cud like a cow
The bible says unicorns exist
The bible condones slavery in no less than 5 different books
The entire old testament is filled with murder and genocide
The bible places Jesus in cities hundreds of miles apart on the same day
The bible says the earth has four corners (implying the earth is flat)
The bible says God created light... 3 days before he created the sun and stars...
The bible is wrong on so many things... Literally hundreds of provable errors and contradictions
I will gladly provide dozens of links to scholarly sources on the subject if you are interested
The one thing that annoys me the most is that "everyone can understand bible in their own way" or such the cases that you've said can be understood differently from person to person or completely ignored. Ignoring the bad parts and counting just he good ones, The Evolution of Bible. Therefore bible is as much as a blank papers bounded together, it's just a great hitorical artifact, nothing else absolutely.
This is why the real Bible, the original written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, was written in those languages, which are meaning specific in the things that they say.
So you talk and read Hebrew Aramaic and Greek then? Or you don't understand the Bible either?
Actually, now that you mention it, I do...
I have read the book of Genesis in the original Hebrew, thanks for noticing... I have also read the Zohar, but that hardly counts since it is only commentary on the Hebrew Bible...
Here is an example from the first sentence of Genesis...
בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.
Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'arets.
Literally translates:
In the beginning, Gods created the Heavens and the Earth
Elohim is the plural form for Gods, not singular God... that would be El (אֵל), not Elohim (אֱלֹהִים)... Elohim is plural...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elohim
Not bad for an old Jew, eh?
What about you BADecker... you said you don't read Hebrew, but have you even read the bible in English?
I ask because you don't appear to know much about what it says... yet you make claims that there are translation errors after you admit you can't even read the language
Since the Bible states elsewhere that God is One, we have a plurality of persons in a singular God, no matter how you look at it.
The Hebrew Bible says that? I'd love to know what book, chapter and verse... please educate me
Deuteronomy 6:4
1 Timothy 2:5
Strange that neither Elohim nor El is used in either of those passages, eh? (1 Timothy is not even part of the Hebrew Bible)
Besides... you JUST CLAIMED, "was written in those languages, which are meaning specific in the things that they say"...
How meaning specific could it be when the word that God chose to write is Elohim (plural), but we are supposed to interpret as El (singular)?
God fucked up?
(bear in mind this is still the first sentence of Genesis (7 words)... don't even get me started on the second verse!)
Anybody who thinks that he is going to understand God, when God is a user of cause and effect the way He uses it, is going to have trouble. The thing we need to do is accept what God says, because it is truth from God.
Which truth? Did a singular God create the universe, or a group of Elohim?
According to the original Hebrew, it was a group of gods who created the universe...
