The bible got a much better track record than test tube cucks

oof

Sorry, haven't found too many talking bushes in my time

~~the bible isn't a scientific text~~

Jesus was walking on the water explain how else he was doing that this wasn't Criss Angel David Blaine smoke and mirrors

See, Phil, I agree with you, but Kaizo here is the one trying to compare the two.

He was turning water to the wine man

I think the Bible serves better as an allegorical text to extract meaning from

Not as a literal text to adhere to as it says

^

It's not like my neighbor owns an Ox

There are literal events in the bible

So

?

Yes, but they were not recorded perfectly

Like Christ's miracles

A lot of people's neighbors still do own Oxen

I don't believe that, we should adhere to the rules and beliefs of the bible

But it’s not limited to those who do

The meaning of the text

Yes, we have a single text and we have Christians who use that single text as a source

By that metric the Book of Mormon should be believed, too.

Closing question for y'all

By whose authority, and by whom, was the bible composed?

That is what separates a lot of Christians

IMO it was made by, as Father John Misty put it, "woman-hating epleptics"

It was composed by people who were inspired, but not controlled, by God, to record the teachings of the Lord

We know it has some substance to it because white Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization and it's based on Christian values

The moral teachings specifically

And through that they were able to have liberty

Ignoring China

Nobody intended the Bible as a scholarly historical or scientific work

It's a theological work

Yes

By God who used his followers and people to write about him and events concerning him, he made it to explain creation to us and so us in the future would be able to know what has been said and what will happen

>Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization
*cries in Chinese, Aztec, Sumerian, Egyptian and thousands of other non-Christian civilizations*

What denom @GHOST

What is "true" civilization?

Not one had liberty

But Europe

Who says?
