Amazing after so many various versions have been written, (100+ and counting) some still think they can do it better, the KJV is still the preferred Bible worldwide. KJV and an a good Interlinear Hebrew & Greek help is enough.

Personally I think they're nuts to mess with God's word.

Subject:

Where is the scientific proof to all of this?


Hmm? Scientific proof? I'm not sure about that , but there is historical proof.

There is many historical references made of the Man ~ Jesus Christ, son of a carpenter.

You could dig them out as easy as I if you wish. It's only a matter of asking the right question to the right source.

There is much truth to be found in biblical text. The book is an edited composite of many men's understanding of what they witnessed and observed, coupled with lore and tribal stories of prior ancient accountings. Each author offering a bias view of both various accounts and often times the same account.

If you are seeking the truth, you must apply yourself like you might anything else you wish to understand. Asking yourself , who wrote this? What kind of man was he? why did he write it, under what conditions did he write and to whom did he intend it for and what kind of people were they?

If you are not interested is such material and expect the meaning to be laid before you in one or two reading ~ it truly will seem to be a huge fair tale.

It was never written or intended for people that really are not stirred by great interest and left only to say, " To what end might "all this" matter?"

As long as you know "who" you are. Right? So ~ who are you? and more important, what are you? and do you really matter?

This is not the first time the bible has been "edited". But those on the left or anyone who hates God fearing people will attack anything...go figure.
Let us take a trip back in time.
Thomas Jefferson edited the bible. The Jeffersonian bible was handed out to new members of congress for the first half of the 19th century...
Our founding fathers were not Christian folks...they were Deists...

While I don't agree with his post, I do not see how it is full of immature insults. I especially don't see anything racist in it.

If he honestly thinks that by changing the Bible to suit his needs is actually going to help, it actually will. It will help him to go straight into hell for changing what the Bible warns against : changing, adding, or removing what is already in the Bible.

He'll be one of thousands of people who cannot conform to what is in the Bible and change its meanings to justify what they do. They hide behind the cloak of religion while their misdeeds go unnoticed or unpunished.

To me, he and his mother are nothing more than the Elmer Gantrys and Aimee McPhersons of our time.

No god(s) have ever written a book or so much as left a note, nor is there any historical proof of a man named Jesus roaming the country side, getting by with a little help from his friends or performing miracles. Now it was a common practice to go around and do magic tricks for money/food, sell snake oil, etc., and preach a little gospel of Dr. Good, but the only reference to a Jesus in history was made by a man who had nothing to back it up except what he made up...you know, like those who made up the Bible or any other holy book. Amazingly, there seems to be god(s) who can make entire creations but cannot read or write.

As for the Bible being too liberal certainly the stories written about Jesus were about a very Liberal thinking Jewish man.

I personally fail to find that in your post as well ~ and you are at liberty to say, you think them nuts for attempting such a thing. And I think that your right! I think that we are all kinda nuts in our own personal way.

This Andrew character came from a family with strong convictions, and was baptized in these convictions. That Andrew managed to feed himself for 13 years via nifty on-line home schooling with such personal bias and conviction coupled with his mother's achievement and driven nature, he feels inclined and gifted with insights that the rest of the world "needs" .

With the aid of his present class students, he endeavors to correct "liberal bias" written into the scripture, in some hope that the " simplton's " of the world might be better guided with biblical text.

Wonderful! Anal retention would be a requirement for such a ambitious task and this family offers us an unlimited supply.

My guess is that they seen a "great need" to remove the threat of progressive thought as liberalism is presently on a rampage! Black president on a liberal platform and all?

Just ask someone that looks like Rush, or Beck or Karl Rove. Am I the only one to notice how these men favor? They appear to be cousins. ~ Dress them in Traditional German or Bavarian Clothes, place a beer stein in one hand a derweener snitchel in the other and you could hardly tell them apart. ~ Break out with a good polka and these men would come alive and dance around like a 60 pound Numph. ~ Is this not the old superior race crowd?

Now, I can get away with saying such things, as my name in "Winkler" but if you are a "McDoogle" or "Gracia" or a "Lenzennie" ~ you'd be wise to hang back and let me do it for you.

We are going through some strange times here in American today as we attempt to honor the spirit of our constitution and the words "all men are created equal" As some of our fellow Christian wrestle with conflicting bias. They don't like the meaning so they wish to change the words.

At least one prominent conservative thinks the Bible is too liberal and wants to remove what he considers "liberal bias" from it.

1)I'm not aware of Andy Schlafly being any sort of "prominent" conservative. When I think of "prominent" conservatives I think of Pat Buchannan (sp?), Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck hell -even Ann Coulter. [1]

Can you tell me who the hell listens to this guy and takes him seriously?

Could anyone possibly take this guy seriously?
I'm not convinced that anyone does, to be honest. I always thought Conservapedia was one step down from encyclopaedia dramatica in terms of being a credible source for...well, just about anything, really.

[1]any typos or mis-spellings are the fault of the poster to give a flying **** about right-wing extremists and/or how their names are spelled.

lets see....

Pat Buchannan (sp?), Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter. Dobson, Blackwater...

Beck is a Mormon.....

He was the promoter of the Gays rights bill in CA....

His mother Slammed Betty Ford and Her Husband for not keeping his wife in line , over the ERA...

This might seem like a joke to a lot of people,
However to the Home School people it will become Gospel..........

I wasn't aware of him either until threads started appearing on his activities.

But I didn't know who Stevie Ray Vaughn was until he died. ~ I was busy, fighting a war, raising children and building an empire.

It's an educated guess ~ but I say ~ somewhere around 10 to 15 million Americans would provide furtile ground for Andrews ideas and work.

Why is it significent ? Well for you and I , it's not ~ but we need to be aware of such "ideas"

There was a book written prior to the outbreak of the civil war ~ and it was the contents of this book couples with current affairs that afforded Southern Statesmen to leave their positions in the congress and senate and return home to their states claiming loss of faith and confidence in the Federal Government and lead to the run up of the civil war between the states.

Ideas can be very dangerous things ~ and 15 million people in a nation of 327 million is still a handful of people. For these 15 million are thinking grownups and they feel the world is on fire as they attempt to stamp out anything they don't agree with.

Today and everyday , it is a battle of ideas that is on going as free people come to grip with their personal freedom of choice.

I thought this might be from The Onion, that satirical newspaper out of San Francisco
That's exactly what I expected to come across when I first saw your title to this thread.


Personally I have always felt the New Testament at least has a very liberal , almost radically liberal / leftist slant to it at its heart,
Keep in mind that there is no chicken/egg dilema here. The former never takes after the latter.

If the latter seems to take after the former, maybe there's a reason.

So loving your neighbor is a liberal thang? Hmmm ?

So whats with this preoccupation with the term "Liberal" today anyway? ~ seems to me the meaning has been twisted and bent out of shape.

It's really not a very good word to describe an ideaology or phosiphy. You would call early Christian Crusaders "liberals" ? You would call the early Templers liberals?

You would call a penniless, homeless man that was hit and beat and dragged though the city street while being mocked and spat only to face the most powerful man in the land for judgement and still he refused to recant his conviction or purpose a liberal?

Hmm? I wonder how you might have taken such treatment.

Does this conform to your understanding of a liberal?

The DNC is rooted in the early "progressive party" and it is no more liberal then the GOP is conservative.

That we are attempting to discuss this and wish to use "Labels" to umberella mindset and ways of thinking is some furious effort to offer some clearity ~ really SUCKS.

This need for labels is a product for the consumption for lazy minds. For people that want to be told the meaning. It's packaging! They can't sell anyone on the details so a package is presented and offered with a label attached. If you could read the content , you'd never buy it.

You wish to refer to warriors that drain the blood from their enemies and permit them only their last breath ~ as liberals? Well this is what you are doing.
