likely mentally unstable and should be under the watchful eye of a more

I pity the poor folk that come to you for care. I imagine you telling your

He is actually a cardiologist even though he got fired from (AFAIK)
his only job because of the "quality" of his post-op care.

I don't know if Florida de-certified him. But they can't revoke his
MD.

It's not relevent there either. In spite of all the religious nuts
cross-posting, it was set up by atheists for atheists to discuss our
own issues.

Default Church and churches

The foundation of all Christian and Jewish religions is based on the Bibles.



There is NO - NADA _evidence the Bibles are the word of any Gods. They are
no more than the words of hundreds of errant religious leaders motivated to
impress and control their flock.



There are NO original copies of the Bibles. They are all ALTERED hand copies
of copies of copies etc. by hundreds of scribes over a period of thousands
of years. There is no

Accurate objective way to determine their authenticity or historical
accuracy.



The Bibles obviously contain a plentitude of myths, fables, legends and
totally

impossible tales. NONE of the Bibles were written during Jesus' 'claimed'
life time.

Time and distance was required to allow the creation of fictional stories
and the embellishment of history.



There is also the matter of the Biblical canon itself. After all, ancient
Israel and the early church knew of many more religious books than the ones
that now constitute the Bible. For example, there were 50 gospels in
circulation at the time the New Testaments were chosen by church leaders,
yet only four
made it into the New Testament. Who decided which of the books would
become part of the Christian scriptures, and again, "Why?" Who decided,
"This book belongs... this book doesn't..."? What were their reasons?
What were their motives? How do we know if ANY of them were authentic?
In addition there is evidence that the Bibles were altered by church leaders
to support their personal motives and ambitions..



The fact is, there are no clear records available which document the
church's process of determining which books were acceptable and which books
were unacceptable and why. The general consensus of opinion among scholars
is that the decision was based on whether or not the book agreed with the
prevailing theological thought and motives at the time. In other words, the
only books accepted were the ones that agreed with the opinions, desires and
motives of the church leadership at the time


This means that the fundamental religion is not based on the Bible, as they
claim so fervently... it means the Bibles were selected and embellished to
support the claims of the church leadership at the time.


It is also interesting that, even though the Biblical canon was purposely
chosen to include only books that met the church leaders opinions at the
time, there is so much inconsistency and contradictions in the Bibles. And
it is even more interesting that so many fundamentalists proclaim that there
are no contradictions in the Bible! If that were true, then why are there so
many different sects of Christianity and different Bible versions?


For example, Christianity is basically divided into three main sects: the
Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Protestants. And the
Protestant branch alone is divided into numerous different sects: the
Adventists, the Amish, the Anglican Church, the Apostolic Faith, the
Assemblies of God, the Baptists, the Brethren, the Christian Church, the
Church of Christ, the Church of God, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints (the Mormons), the Church of the Nazarene, the Congregational
Christian Churches, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Congregational
Church, the Friends (Quakers), the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Lutherans, the
Mennonites, the Methodists, the Pentecostal Churches, the Presbyterians, the
Salvation Army, the Unitarians, the United Church of Christ, and at least 66
other sects!


And that does not count the different sub-sects of these sects! For example,
the Baptists are further divided into: the American Baptist Convention, the
Southern Baptist Convention, the American Baptist Association, the Baptist
General Conference, the Bethel Baptist Assembly, the Christian Unity Baptist
Association, the Conservative Baptist Association of America, the Baptist
Church of Christ, the Free Will Baptists... and at least 19 other sub-sects.
And there are no "minor differences" between these sub-sects. For example,
the Southern Baptist Association was formed in 1845 in large part
because of disagreements with other Baptists concerning slavery.


The other Protestant sects are also broken up into various sub-sects. For
example, the Methodists have 23, the Mennonites 15; the Presbyterians 9; the
Mormons 3; etc.


And yet (especially for the more right-wing sects), these numerous sects and
sub-sects claim to possess the truth of the Bible in its purest form... and
each one are able to quote verses from the Bible to prove it! The Bibles are
so loaded with vague stories and unsubstantiated claims that one can find
texts to support almost ANYTHING. So much for the "harmony" of the Bible.



Anyone that reads the Bibles objectively can see that they are books of
fables, myths, legends and totally impossible tales. They are certainly not
the word of any god unless he was an absolute idiot.



Believing in the Bibles is not much better than believing in Alice in
Wonderland, Harry Potter or Aesop's Fables. At least the latter are good
literature.

Being Christian is not a religion but a relationship with Christ Jesus.

There is only one Holy Bible which is the infallible Word of GOD.

Christ Jesus is the living Word of GOD.

It is written that the disciple "Doubting" Thomas was essentially an
atheist until he saw the risen Jesus saying he would not believe in the
resurrection until he had the opportunity to put his hand into Jesus'
side and his fingers through the holes of HIS hands. Thankfully, he
changed his mind upon seeing the risen Jesus and decided to accept
salvation through faith when he declared "My LORD and my GOD!" (John
20:28)

I imagine you have a tough time with the fact that 85% of practicing
primary-care physicians in the U.S. believe in GOD.

IOW, he refused to believe that his friend/teacher was/is GOD.

A person who refuses to believe in GOD until s/he sees GOD is
essentially an atheist.

When faith is placed in the LORD, all things become possible.

Actually this is relevant. If Jesus picked out a money-worshipper to be
a disciple then why not an atheist?

We are all sinners and fall short of HIS glory.

Actually, these discussions are not adding to what is written in the
Bible.

Thomas' declaration "My LORD and my GOD!" stands as written in John
20:28

There is nothing that either you or I can write here in these USENET
groups to change that.

Only GOD can resurrect HIMSELF from the dead to defeat death.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" -- LORD Jesus Christ.

It remains my choice to continue writing truthfully.

This is the issue in our discussion and Thomas' declaration "My LORD and
my GOD!" upon seeing the risen Jesus Christ stands as irrefutable
evidence that Thomas was an atheist up until that moment.

Indeed it is so written.

For this you will remain in my prayers, dear Don whom I love, in Jesus'

That is not what I discern.

A money-worshipper can not follow Christ Jesus not only by the example
of Disciple Judas Iscariot who was chosen to follow the LORD only to
betray HIM but also in the account of the rich man (Matthew 19:16-24).

This reveals that Disciple "Doubting" Thomas tended to believe only that
which he sees. Prior to Jesus, he had never seen GOD so it logically
follows that he did not believe in GOD.

Jesus is GOD of the Jewish history before that time, though many have
and will continue to deny HIM up until the end but then finally every
knee will bend, every head will bow, and every tongue confess that HE is
King of kings and LORD of lords.

The truth transcends all doctrine:

"We are going to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the
prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. HE will be handed over
to the Gentiles. They will mock HIM, insult HIM, spit on HIM, flog HIM,
and kill HIM. On the third day, HE will rise again." -- LORD Jesus
Christ

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is
kept safe." -- King Solomon (Proverbs 29:25)

For this you will be in my prayers, dear Geoff whom I love, in Jesus'
most precious and holy name.

May GOD help you overcome your fear of Christians.

Amen.

When HE does, perhaps you will be able to attend this:

All well and good, but you didn't even come close to answering the question.
Why would you ask perfect strangers to "forgive all you iniquities"?

Through Christ all is known and no one is a stranger. HE is the source
of all knowledge, wisdom, and love. HE is the fountain of living water
that confers eternal life by redeeming sins. It is the LORD Who guides
what I say, do, and write.

It doesn't bother me at all. I just wish you'd follow God's teachings

You will remain in my prayers, dear Geoff whom I love, in Jesus'
most precious and holy name.

May GOD continue to draw you closer to HIM so that you will someday see
the following written on HIS thigh:

"KING of kings and LORD of lords."
