i'm sure he has an opinion as to why san francisco keeps having earthquakes and fires. and i bet it has nothing to do with the city's unlucky geological placement or overpopulation.

actually. no.
Exd 7:13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
and then he punished the people of egypt as a whole for pharaoh's refusal to release the hebrews.
funny. that sounds like causeing someone to sin and then punishing them for it. actually. come to think of it. he did the same thing to david.
but then i can't find that reference right now.

hon. sorry. in nomadic tribes, everything is done for the good or destruction of the group. nothing is individual.

why can't we ever have a thread without discussing whether homosexuality is bad?

Re: The reference on David that you are thinking of is -- 2 Samuel 24:1
translation:
i don't mean what i say i mean.

Re: God's word is more solid than diamond.
#1.
do you trust everyone who say that they never lie?
#2.
you just got done telling me that the bible doesn't mean what it says. if the book says god hardened the man's heart then it means it. it may be wrong, but it means what it says.

Re: God's word is more solid than diamond.
and you should reread arachnophilia's post and check into hebrew.
btw. you are the one with pre-conceived notions about the bible. i was raised strict presbyterian and have since explored the book alone and not the doctrines of others.

Re: Why no translation renders it that way
the bible says that true religion is "to care for widows and orphans." the word says "if you love me, keep my commandments." obedience is obviously the most right form of worship. sitting in a building chanting ritualized verses with a group of fellows is not what he demands.

Thats what they said about Troy.

yes. and troy was really in a war for 100 years, not ten. there was no trojan horse (as far as we can tell). no achilles, no hector, no proof of hellen either. it's a myth made up about a real place and a real war. kind of like hollywood and all it's assorted myths about real places (and even some real wars).
