The importat thing here is that we understand who Yahweh is and what He is about and why we keep His commands and observe the Torah and understand the Tanakh. It is only when we can understand this that we can fully glean the meaning of the Brit Chadashah -

Was it a Catholic theologian?Originally posted by vince69:disasters and diseases (and also death) comes only as a result of the fall, where according to some theologian, Adam passed/forfeited the key to rule over the earth (that God gave to Adam) to Satan
Can I ask one more question? The rest of you can feedback too.
If Jesus died on the cross for everyone, why then do we still; die, suffer disease, and suffer disasters? -
He came to heal the spiritual emptiness...physical healings are the manifestations of His power and grace. That is not the most crucial problemOriginally posted by SingaporeMacross:Was it a Catholic theologian?

U c , u say it as if suffering is bad. Just cos it hurts humans doesnt mean its bad. It can act as a test(shi4 lian4)(i like to use chinese cos its more accurate)Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Was it a Catholic theologian?

And about dieing, dieing is a path to heaven, if ure a christian and believe in God so again, don view dieing as a bad thing. It may look Bad becos losing our friends and familes is a sad thing. But when we remember that hes going to heaven and that we will unite once again, we r actually happy! -

2. If you think that not every animal can fit into Noah's ark, then they did not. The Noah's ark story was an account of Noah's encounter with God. You can think of Noah's ark story like it is somebody's story about his encounter with God during the Asian Tsunami. The important point of the story is the account of his encounter with God and not the seismic conditions that led to the Tsunami. He is not a geography professor. So he would write based on his understanding of what he thinks caused it. It is not important because he is not writing an geography text book.
We cannot assume that Naoh was the only survival. To Noah, it certainly looked that way. We cannot even assume that the whole world was completely inundated; but to Noah, it certainly looked that way.

This guy isnt clear about the bible yet he wants to speak out. This can lead to misunderstanding. Anyway, The book Genisis is written by Moses, hu was a person later in the age. So how could he record wad he doesnt know of?? Cos God told him to write(¸�¶¯£©
Oh, but i roughly agree with the other points the guy propsed. -

It is a book on people's encounters with God. People's relationships with God. It is better that you write your own bible; that is, an account of your own relationships with God.
1) The Bible is about God's dealing with people (the initiative is from God).
2) To a Christian, the Bible is the word of God, not a word of man.
3) an account of personal relationship with God is call a Biography, or just a Dairy ...etc, not a Bible.
Please do not confuse others by mixing and matching the difference terms, you may be free to redefine usage of terms, but if you want to do this, pls put a foot note on what you are refering them as.

To those who have quoted me regarding the Bible.
God uses man. God gives man free will. This free will includes writing what man wants in the Bible.
Does God intervenes in man's life directly? Yes but only for those justified by faith. Even then God intevenes in a natural rather than supernatural manner.
Only when it is impossible for man to do it, does God intevene. And only in times of great need. These are so few and far in between that we can safely say that God does not intervene directly and chose to depend on man and all other incidences are exceptions to the rule.
When you are born of spirit and have a relationship with God, you might compare notes with what was written in the Bible but basically it is your own relationship that counts. You write your own Bible. -
When Moses wrote Genesis, it was based on his own experiences with God. Based on his own understanding of God within the cultural and socio-politico context of his times.
The one and only God is here today and God wants man to experience Him directly and not by proxy... not through the Bible. -
Jesus died on the cross, yes. Jesus did not die to transform the world into "paradise." God continues to give man free will even after Jesus' death.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Was it a Catholic theologian?

Jesus came and died to tell man to put his faith in God. God can give him birth of spirit to the man who comes to Him in Faith. God does not give man birth of spirit on His own accord because that would mean taking away man's will. -
in other words, you are an oncologist?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:ya I am a specialist in cancers.. -
How do u know God wants us to experince him directly. If thats so, y is there a bible? The bible is Gods word and plz don twist the truth. The truth is--God , thru Men wrote the bible. Men did not write it based on HIS own understanding as uve stated.Originally posted by casino_king:When Moses wrote Genesis, it was based on his own experiences with God.
