They are still writing it today...uh, this time to exclude the liberal Christians...

"The Conservative Bible Project is a project utilizing the "best of the public" to render God's word into modern English without liberal translation distortions"

and perhaps one that can refrain from drinking holy spirits while writing

this is for COWBOYGH. dont you just love it.the wisdom weas there thousands of years before man got his head out of his butt. but now unfortunately modern man has put his head back where the sun/SON. doesn't shine. Keep riding the storm out brother.

AMEN!!! LoL i like your humor. But very true and to the point, very good.

I really hate to disappoint you my friend but the sky only looks blue due to spectral absorbtion

either way they are still dead... not living anymore...

Says who? Have you talked to our father bout this? If not, how in the world would you know?

dead is dead... i think i do know....that's why they bury you when you die...because your not alive

They burry the deceased. That's not "dead". Again, the only reward for sin is death. We will ALL become deceased, but we won't all become dead. In a secular world that is dead, but in the real world that is merely passing away, deceased, not DEAD.

Ah c'mon, you're interrupting a very scientific conversation here. So far they claim that dead is not dead..even if you poke a stick at it.

deceased is not dead? you must have a different dictionary then i do

That is why not receiving heaven is referred to as the second death. So that secular people such as you can't use secular definitions to try to disprove anything.

And also keep in mind the bible has been translated from another language. Therefore it may have had a different word for it, but the only word in the english language that would represent it was death.

i'm not sure what you just said, but i just posted the definitions of both...i'm sure your happy believing there is life after death, but I'm not buying that nonsense...

And that is your choice. And if you don't buy into it, why spend so much time on here talking about it? What do you gain from such actions? What positive thing do you accomplish?

wasting time till a better post comes up...

And on your comment about death. After i mentioned it's referred to as the second death, then you said you posted both definitions. You did not post the definition of the second death.

Here's the definition for second death

second death In a vision of the day of judgement all the dead will rise (Rev. 20: 12) and the wicked will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20: 14) to suffer their second death. Jesus gave a warning that God has the power to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matt. 10: 28).

When you stop and think about these fables how can you sincerely take them seriously?

You talk about Matthew, but here's what he wrote:


Matthew 27:

[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.


This kind of thinking is obviously false. The idea that dead bodies would be required to 'raise' souls from the dead is an utterly absurd idea, IMHO.

First off, this would be highly problematic. What would happen to the "souls" of people who's bodies were cremated or otherwise destroyed or dismembered?

The very idea that physical bodies are required for a spiritual existence is an idea that flies in the very face of what it means to be "spirit".

The idea of Jesus raising from the "dead" via his same physical body, and that all these supposed "saints" were raised from their graves like zombies in the movie "The Night of the Living Dead", is truly an idea that can have no merit.

So this is just yet another example of why these ancient fables are utterly absurd. If these stories had any serious merit they wouldn't contain such utter absurdities. These kinds of fables are clearly just folklore of people who believed in really simplistic superstitions.

If there is any truth to spiritual existence it's going to be an existence that is non-physical. What would Jesus need his penis for in heaven?

I mean, seriously. There would just be no need for a physical body like we have on Earth. In fact, if our true essence is spirit, then are true essence is not human. The human condition is a physical condition. The human body is a physical body.

These ancient Zeus-like folklore from the Mediterranean and Middle East are precisely that. Mythological folklore. They can't be true. If they have any value at all they must be taken entirely metaphorically, but clearly Matthew was not speaking in metaphors, he was making very specific concrete claims about earthquakes opening up physical graves and saints coming out of these graves.

That should be enough right to there seriously question any of the writings that came from the man named Matthew.

if man has his head up his butt...wouldn't that be because God made man in his own image
