All very good points. Cept the thing "man and dinasour have been found in the same layer of earth". I'll have to read up on that too.
So what exactly do you believe? Do you believe the bible in it's entireity, parts of it, any of it at all?

Of course, study for yourself. Perhaps I should state it this way...evidences of man and dinasour have been found in the same layers of earth.Originally Posted by kelly
In order to accept any of the Bible one must accept all of it. People attempt to disect out the parts they dont want to comply with or can't understand.
They use lame excuses like "I am a new testament christian" or "I am under the new covenant" etc etc. Problem is the Bible clearly states that His principles do not change. 'I am the Lord thy God, I change not' is one very clear verse. That is why I say it is quite clear to me that in order to claim any teaching is true and in accordance with the Bible one must strive to find what is harmony with all of Scripture, not just a few select verses. There is NO adding to or subtracting from it.
See the princple outlined in Deut. 12:29-32
An illustration of that...Jesus, the author of new testament christianity summarized the ten commandments by saying "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart....thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"
The first four commandments are mans duty to God. Love for God.
The last six are mans duty to fellow man. Love for Man.
The commandments were written in stone by the finger of God, upon two tablets of stone.Jesus simply reiterated the law in summary form. He didnt contradict it. He didnt change it. He didnt add to it. He didnt subtract from it.
He didnt do away with it. Which is all in keeping with the Bible description of the law being eternal.
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
A warning to those who add or subtract from the Word and do so in Gods name....
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me
2 Pet 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2 Pet 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2 Pet 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Pet 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Tim 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Tim 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
