[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8484616, member: 576029"] People (and history) commonly confuse evil deeds by men as the will of the church. Evil men use the church for their own greed. God's commandments are simple. The Bible is a fairly recent account of history (people belive in our accuracy analyzing 250 million year old dinosaur bones but balk at a 2000 year old text of high historical accuracy). No one discounts Christ lived and died. His life is accepted by all sides. People will argue if he was the Son of God. That's fine, that's what separates Christians from non. Our calendar is based on his life. Ask an aethist what their date is, because they shouldn't claim the Roman calendar. Those who accept Christ as their everlasting saviour, are commanded to live a life worthy of his commandments. Humans error. Humans make mistakes. Christ promised unconditional love. Christ offers forgiveness. Who wouldn't want that? If your Children error do you abandon them? I love my daughters and will always forgive them, even if future actions land them in prision. There is evil in the world. Good and evil are at a battle for our souls. Evil appears to be winning but I've read the book and Christ triumphs at the end. These days, watching humanity is like watching a movie for which you've already read the book. All of this is expected. The main issue people take with the bible are semantics. Sady, many let those details prevent them from seeing the bigger picture. Salvation doesn't require you have a stance on the age of the world because we do not know. Faith in science is a larger leap than faith in Christ. We have no proof in the age of things, just highly improbable coincidences that are arguments against intelligent, Divine design. Maybe we're all wrong. Faith is the belief in something despite concrete proof. We will never know everything for sure, until we die. Cheers. Rich V. [/QUOTE]
