If Christians understood and followed the Word of God perfectly everywhere, even though we would still be hated (Christ was and He was perfect), non-Christians would not be justified in their hate.
So you believe that you can follow the word of god perfectly? Even when they contradict?

Re: Evolution vs. creation
Tal
Now, what if I said there is a mountain of evidence to support the idea of God?
1. Personal accounts of specifically answered prayer.
2. Divine protection in combat against all odds.
3. Accurate "prophecies" (Isreal becoming a nation again) that number in the hundreds.
4. Supernatural events that have happened to me and others (astral projection anyone?)
5. Bible Codes (subject to debate, but it does perk the interest)
6. Old Testament laws that deal with bacteria.
7. Old Testament accounts of accurate astronomy (Pleadies/Orion).
{1}How do you verify a personal account of answered prayer to eliminate bias and human error?
{2}You are in Baghdad.Remove your helmet,kevlar and weapon then see if you can get CNN to film your attempt to walk through open combat with only god providing divine protection against all odds. Do you suppose there is a slight chance of injury on your part?
{3}Why do you not see if you can bring forth some arguements concerning prophecy in the Criteria for Prophecy topic if you consider these to be accurate?
{4}Astral projection? Surely you jest! How about we test such a claim and see if you can bring anything to the table?
{5}Bible codes? How about you start a thread on this and see how long before it is shredded for the crap it is?
{6}This is interesting.Can you show where they are actually aware that the bacteria are a part of their understanding of hygeine?
{7} The Pleiades and Orion? There is this verse from Job
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
So please tell us how this amounts to accuracy in astronomy?

Re: Literal interpretation
Siguiendo la
verdad
In reference to the two rules.
2. We must interpret the Bible literally-"as it is written".
3. The Bible is to be interpreted like any other book.
Does this mean we must interpret literally any other book? Let's say Little Red Riding Hood? Perhaps Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Day of the Trifids?
