The Dive Bible

Surely Christians believe they 'have' the truth, rather than having an aversion to it?

We all have an aversion to the truth. That's why they say that the truth hurts

The Bible calls is a double edged sword cuz it's going to cut you.

There are but two reactions. Denial and rage or acceptance and repentance.

The truth only hurts those with an aversion to truth. It hurts those with a hatred of truth most of all. A common term for it is "pride". The vast majority of Christians are extremely prideful.

Take KJ and his poor reading comprehension skills for example. He absolutely hates it when it's pointed out to him.

Matthew 18
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, 3and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4“Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Fortunately, my semblance of truth isn't situated in an arbitrary collection of books.

Agreed. That is what I was getting at.

Do you find elements of the Bible to be in error or deceptive even though you credit it with this great truth?

What is it situated in then?

Why don't you cut the bull and simply explain how you've used it in the past?

Just recall one of your many diatribes against organized religion if your memory is fuzzy.

You're certainly a zealot in defending FMF, even at the cost of your integrity.

Isn't this part of your creed against being a 'religionist'?

I've always thought that divegeester exhibits more integrity here than you do. Is that unfair of me to say so?

Then again, not even sheep kill their unborn.
