Bible Note: Hello Beja, Now I understand what you meant by the "ultimate heresy" thing. Sorry to have misunderstood you. About the government: You ask: "How would it logically follow that Western governments not obeying scripture proves scripture false?" It simply doesn't follow. I agree with you. What I was pointing to was your personal behaviour not being against a government that was not applying the Biblical justice. But now I see you think the Biblical justice was meant to be applied to Israel and not as a general law for other cases. I am not sure if this the orthodox view since I have heard very different interpretations. But as you think this is the correct view then I see why the whole thing is reasonable and logical in your mind. Doing an exercise of the imagination, can you imagine yourself stoning to death somebody who has, lets say disobeyed his/her parents, if you were born in Israel during the bronze age? I think it is not difficult to understand why I am so worried about this things. Regarding the discussion about the truth or falsehood of the Bible I understand your reasons for not wanting to continue it and I accept it. Nevertheless I was invited by Mr. Doc to put my questions about different passages of the Bible that I think contain factual mistakes and/or contradictions. I will put them in a way that wont offend anybody, I wont present them as false and I will accept that the responses will take the scriptures as true. I will only ask if there is somebody who wants to explain it. Bruno. |
