The Big Bang!

Anybody believe that the big bang occured? I don't believe it. I believe that the big bang is still coming...

2 Peter 3:10 - But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

And there I was I thinking you were going to announce the loss of your virginity.

By the way, did Peter really write the Petran epistles? I am curious. When did an uneducated fisherman find the time to learn Greek?

I suppose a more sophisticated question might be, "Did the Holy Spirit really write the Bible?"

My primitive question is whether Peter wrote them. I gather you don't have an answer for that.

according to the "christians" the Holy Spirit also wrote that God told Joshua to kill all the canaanites and steal their land .

Goats they be and goats they will remain.
They worship a god that hates mankind.

My primitive answer would be yes, I believe that Peter wrote them whilest inspired by the Holy Spirit, as was the whole of the Bible written by people inspired by the Holy Spirit, which in essence makes the Holy Spirit the author of the entire Bible.

According to the same Bible God is also a Holy God and punishes sin.

That must be your god ...[text shortened]... commandments.

As has been mentioned before you cannot separate God's love from his justice.[/b]

Your answer is not very worldly.

Here's a refutation of Petrine authorship of I and II Peter:

Note that ascribing authorship to a famous figure was common practice in the ancient world, not just among Christians.

I'm happy to concede that the HS might have inspired these epistles; I just don't think the amanuensis had ever been fishing on Galilee.

If your father stole my wallet, would it be just to punish you for this transgression? Would it be just to punish your grandchild for a crime committed by his great-grandfather? The answer here is 'no'. To deny this is just to arbitrarily redefine the term 'justice'. So, since you are merely arbitrarily redefining terms with well established patterns o ...[text shortened]... why should we take anything you have to say about justice (or love, for that matter) seriously?

Do you have any reason to conclude that your or my definition of love and justice should be the same as God's?

I agree with your wallet analogy though, I think this has more of a spiritual component than a physical.

Are we talking about the same Holy Spirit?

No, we are talking at cross purposes as usual, thanks to your usual tactic of answering a simple question with another question that has nothing to do with the first question.

Perhaps the person who hid behind the name of Peter when writing those epistles had had a glimpse of the Transcendental Object at the End of Time! (http://frontwheeldrive.com/terence_mckenna.html)
