1 | The bible is a work of fiction - discuss | Gen 1:1 | chimaera | 15576 | ||
Ok I have a fair few posts to reply to, may not get them all but here goes. 1) Please do not try and mock me, make me look stupid or indicate that because you beleive in god you are above me, either in intelligence, morals, or worth. Making fun of a TYPO makes you look childish and ignorant. I mistype "freind" all the time, doesn't mean I don't know how to spell it. Also, my name is not supposed to be funny or clever. Look up it's definition some time, Mr Big Words Make Me Look Clever. 2) Don't simply post copy and pasted passages from the bible, that means nothing to me. Use your own fingers and brain to give a response. 3) I did not post just to be inflammatory. It may have come out like that because I was having a particularly bad day and I was irritated and the whole religion thing, and the negative affect is has on my life. 4) Just so you know, on a side note, I was confirmed when I was younger, did bible classes, went regularly to church etc. So do not assume I am making uneducated comments. 5) I have a genuine interest in knowing why people beleive. Admittidly this is for slightly selfish reasons. My girlfriend, who I am very serious about, is a devout Christian. She has indicated, although not said outright, that my non-beleif may come between us. If not now, in the future. It angers me that someone's beleif should stop them living a long and happy life together. I have morals, I live by society's rules, I know right from wrong, I am a VERY good person (so I have been told). I just happen to beleive in evolution, science, and that we hold our own fate in our hands. If that makes me a bad person (who will supposedly burn in hell for all of eternity) then tell me why? |

I have had many spiritual battles where Satan has tried to convince me that the bible is a book of dragons, mythology and fairy tales. My husband believes that is exactly what it is and I have to just pray for him. Sometimes I point out to his scientific and evolutionist mind of his, the scientific evidence supporting the bible. Although often times the science has refuted the bible, it has later said "oops" we were wrong. There are some books written by ex skeptics who attempted to prove the bible wrong and instead found it impossible to do so. One is "Evidence that demands a verdict" by Josh McDowell (I think that's his name). Another is "Science and the Bible" I'm not sure who wrote that one. Many highly intelligent people believe because of their drive to prove the bible to be an impossible fairy tale. Perhaps the best way for you to know would be to try to prove it wrong. Another way would be to JUST ASK HIM. Tell your fiance to trust God to lead you. I'm sure there are plenty of christians that have read your post and will be praying for you..May God lead you in your search. |

Well, it's been over a year since I last wrote this response to the post. My husband died unexpectedly in Dec.2002. I have been tortured by the thought that he is not with God. I've been needing God to reassure me since I continued to pray for my husband daily for 11 years. I continued to tell him of the evidences I had read. The book "A Case for Christ" is a great help to witness to non believers. My husband would sit and listen and absorb. I'd also often tell him to "JUST ASK HIM" Just a month before he died he showed signs of recognizing some fulfillment of prophecy. And the night before he died I told him how the disciples that had once turned their backs on a healthy, strong Jesus were within days of the crucifixion preaching boldly, without concern for their own lives. I said "what made them change? Something happened back then" He responded "Yes, something happened" I'm praying that the holy spirit had been working with him through his life. If it were just works I would be sure. Galatians 5:22,23 lets us know what the fruits of the spirit are. He possessed all these fruits and more that are traits of a Christian. I don't know how he could have lived like this without The Holy Spirit. I don't even think a person with tremendous inner strength could. A weakness would eventually show up in 11 years. He even often stopped me when I was looking for vengeance or to attack a persons Christian character. He would discuss it with me and tell me why it was wrong. He had better Christian character than most Christians I know but he used to say that he believes in God but that he thinks he's on the other side of the universe and left us alone. He was also an evolutionist. I know The Lord can work instantly and I'm hoping He had gotten through to my husband. I wish a persons works and lifestyle would be evidence of one's salvation. It would be so much easier for the survivors. Please pray that The Lord will give me that comfort. I miss my husband so..........pixie |

Greetings Pixie! I am very sorry to hear about your loss! I know that there will be many on this forum who will be keeping you in their prayers. I have never lost a spouse, but I did lose a son about 15 years ago. Nothing I, or anyone else for that matter, can ease your grief. However, I can assure you that God will see you through even this. It will take time, but if you trust Him, He will strengthen and comfort you. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
