Ladynred,
I am sure you are a nice person. But I have been digging out information about religion for the last 50 plus years. You are STILL spouting the OFFICAL LINE that is and has been questioned since at least the time of Martin Luther.

After more than enough seperating the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats, fact from fiction, the message still being touted by many is nothing but bum dope.

Some points to ponder:
The Bible was never intended to be used as it is being used today.
At one time the Bible didn't exist but the writings was put together in one issue by a committee of which may have left out things that should have included.
Every word was written by, humn, SINNERS, who according to the experts, HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! Now to be sure how could a sinner be inspired by anything? Sorry, bum dope.

After much investigation, it seems that the Dead should be a Burying the Dead but in Organised Religion it is The Blind Leading the Blind, wouldn't ya say.

Go thru the Posts, Take Notes, bring the observations to your Bible Study class and fire away, uh, be careful, the whole House of Cards just may come tumbling down.

I moved beyond that word believe a long time ago. I have all the facts, actually most of it in the Bible itself. You can believe anything but it doesn't make it true. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Are you free yet?
