39. I believe in a afterlife that all are called to.

I don't believe in hell.

I believe all humanity was saved 2000 years ago by the death and resurrection of Christ.

I believe the bible is divinely inspired but is not written by God but interpeted and written by man.

I believe the bible represent the valiues of its time.

I believe that all worship by other religions is just as good in God's eyes.

So you would characterize practitioners of Abrahamic faiths - i.e. Jews, Muslims, and Christians el_bryanto Oct 2014 #26
Why don't you read the bible and find out about that god? Manifestor_of_Light Oct 2014 #27
I have read the Bible actually - some of the books several times el_bryanto Oct 2014 #28

So how do you apply mass murder and cruelty by God as a moral lesson for your situations? Manifestor_of_Light Oct 2014 #43
What a respectful question el_bryanto Oct 2014 #46
It is the bible that YOU use as a moral guide. That's why I'm asking. Manifestor_of_Light Oct 2014 #47
