Most of it, years ago. Just googled it it for this thread. I don't agree with it all - seems kinda extreme, but still it it relatively comprehensive. At worst it is food for thought. I personally haven't studied the Bible from a perspective of faith for almost 30 years, so I am pretty rusty (and very jaded) on it. |
Since you and Rob have decided to join in, why don't you guys share your own beliefs. Clearly there is something in the bible that you found that didn't make sense and turned you away 30 years ago. I will continue posting and answering questions about what I believe as long as this thread stays a conversation. Matt, to me it seems that you have already made up your mind and there is nothing that I say to change it. I am very open minded and I will try to answer any direct question that you ask me but I am not going to go down a list on some website of others ideas and interpretations of things in the bible. I am not afraid to research into my own beliefs for the fear I will find out that I am wrong. It would help me out if you would site what contradictions you are talking about or at least the ones you take most issue with. It would be much easier for me to talk about then just dumping some random links for me to crawl through.
