144,000 going to heaven...

I hate this! It makes me so confused. I mean, I want to believe that we got here some how...it's just crazy. It seems like the facts would be the facts and that's it. No room for margin or error or interpretation. Was the person that rewrote the Bible blessed by God or did he just take it upon himself to do it?

it was told to me the bilbe was "inspired" by God. not just somebody got somebright ideas and started making stuff up off the top of his head like most ppl try to make it seem.

I can believe that it was insipred by God! That's really what I have been trying to say. I believe that some of the things did happen. Just not to the degree that people say. It's like a (dare I say) tall tale that has a moral at the end of the story...meant to teach lessons.

Very good and that's the whole point.

People want to find DNA and fossils and scrolls to "believe" that something is true. When all along the whole purpose is to convey a message. HOW you get that message is not as important as you GETTING IT to begin with.

If I tell YOU that a car runs 10.0 in the 1/4....YOU know that means that the car has a powerful engine and a big turbo or lots of nitrous with some sticky tires and maybe even a good driver. I tell that same thing to MY wife and she is likely to say, "cool, that sounds fast...". The basic MESSAGE is the same, that's a fast car, how yall both came up to the same conclusion was totally different. So the message was what was truly important and was delivered to both. You can microdisect it to death and it's still a fast car, but there are always gonna be people who will still want more "proof" before admitting what everyone else already knows. The only problem is that you keep looking for that "proof" but tommorow is not promised to anyone remember that.
