Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
Ashley, I don't think you understood my question. Let me ask another question. What is sin? some outcome because of us, and there are two victims - either people or God Himself, or both of them. Sin isn't an "outcome". Sin is the actual breaking of the law of God. The outcome would be pun...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
Yes, Jesus told us not to judge. Only God has that right, and we don't have "sure-win" on whether or not people sin. God has the right to say whether or not we sin, but be sure He WILL judge. you said that we have discretion if we break His commandments or not. In most circumstances, we k...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
if so, we can judge others because we have sure-win over the basis how people sin. but Jesus told us not to judge.jenna wrote:No, I think the discretion is ours. We know what God commands, and it is at our discretion whether or not we are going to do what He says.

the discretion is in God's hand if you break or not.jenna wrote:No, we as humans tend not to. That is one way we are human. Notice God sais that to break one commandment is to be guilty of all. That sounds pretty absolute to me.Ashley wrote:I don't put things into absolute positions.

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
what is the use of courtroom if there is no victim? What job does a judge have in the court-room if there is no plaintiff and defendant? What use is there about ethics if sufferers do not take it as sufferings if evil-doers hurt?

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
Ashley, OUt of curiousity, what warrants hell? From scripture, it is our sinfulness, our *being* a sinner and in rebellion to God, that warrants the separation between God and ourselves. Even if no one witnesses a lie, the deception is there, our deceitful nature is still present. Unless I am not u...

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
Usually we don't lie, because of fear of poor witness among people, so we behaviorally don't. We may be misunderstood.
But I trust that the behavior - lying itself - is not enough to cuff you to hell.

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
ye intentional ethics, which I wish the guys there may let me boldly term it, is what I read about Jesus teachings in New Testaments. Another example: what harm do we do if we lie, casting away in a barren island in the middle of the sea? We do it before a rock, alone.

Re: The Authencity of the Bible.
I don't want to push too hard to the extreme. plus i am not scholar so i have to be emphatic that all are personal opinion. But I am speaking on good faith based on reading the bible only once. human traits are only a part (or probably a very small part) of what God is. we never know God. Even venge...
