Bible questions?
I have a couple questions regarding the bible and how people use it.
First of all, all the Christian sects, such as Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist..so on and so forth…they all get their information from the same place, so how can their religions be so different.
How can Christians say that parts of the bible don’t pertain to them and that certain parts are no longer valid, or only meant for jews.
How can Christians have so many different perceptions of the same bible?
I’m just confused as to why there are so many different christian answers to the same question.
Ha, Mayor you’re funny. Well it seems that you and I actually see things the same way, and I have lots of ones, so I’m up for a party if you care to join me!
Okay, I understand what everyone is saying about how everyone can see the bible differently…so I guess the next question becomes, how can you say what religion is “right” if everyone see’s it differently?
That is the nature of the variations of man.
It’s like the story of the blind men and the elephant. They each touched a different part and had a different idea of what the elephant was. the tail felt like a rope, the legs felt like a tree, the ear felt like a rug…
We could call each different interpretation a different part of the Bible, of God, or of Life… A different reaction to reality. And we would call the elephant the intrinsic whole; that thing inside all of us that is the same.
So you can understand why people argue and fight. They think, “If i think this feels like a tree, and he thinks it feels like a rope, of course we can’t both be right. But if i’m wrong, that means i don’t exist (since our existence depends on our ability to synergize with the rest of the world). i know i exist. so he must be wrong.”
Most of us aren’t that enchanted when we see an elephant, because we’ve seen them so many times. but if we see only a part of the elephant, and then gradually the whole becomes revealed, we appreciate it much more.
