The Christian god exists and rules over the universe

The bible must be studied, and having others who have the biblical knowledge can obviously help you in understanding the bible correctly. Knowing what other tools to help you in gaining biblical knowledge, such as concordances and commentaries, which are written by scholars who have dedicated their lives to interpreting the scripture for us all to know what the bible is truly saying is a great tool of many to use. By your own assertions, you say in parenthesis, ( ?". I have studied the bible and have not found a book that is more poorly written. Its full of contradictions, inhumane teachings, and scientifically and historically inaccurate tales " ). It's quite obvious by what you say you haven't got a clue on what the bible says. You say the bible is full of contradictions, then I ask you to give me just one of those alleged contradictions and we'll see if it is or not. I submit that these alleged contradictions are formed by your lack of biblical knowledge. I gave you two alleged contradictions earlier, which can be found in the atheist list of contradictions handbook, which you can verify. I proved to you that these were not contradictions, they simply were not understood correctly because of a lack of willingness to find out by using the commentaries and concordances along with studying just as one would for an exam in college, but people refuse to use their brain power to learn the bible. Every prophecy in the bible has come true when a prophet of God spoke, as a true prophet is a speaker for God, and cannot lie when speaking for God. I ask you why does that not help you in believing the bible, as these can be proven by you, if you would just study. Again I proved to you that there was no contradictions in the two that are used by atheist as being a contradiction, which was only a contradiction in the mind of the one lacking the biblical knowledge and tools to find out the true meaning, so why was that not helpful to you, can you explain to me why it wasn't? You do realize there is but one interpretation that can be given, although man can make many interpretations through their own evil desires, but God only created for us one interpretation, which is the logical way one would do. You state in parenthesis, ( THE BIBLE IS NOT EVIDENCE WITHOUT BEING PROVEN TO BE A DOCCUMENT THAT ACCURATLY DESCRIBES REALITY.) Here is a verse that shows what God thinks of worldly reality, 1 Corinthians 3:1 "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." King James Version (KJV) Proverbs|12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. (If you don"t know God"s word, your leaning to your own understanding.) Yes, you have indeed caused contradictions where there was none, again, I submit the two scenarios I proved were not contradictions at all, just contradictions from people who didn't study to find the true meaning, as I have given you proof and the source on how anyone that has studied the bible knows to go to in order to find the correct understanding of the bible verse, so why don't you see for yourself, and then tell me if what I said is true or not by looking at the many commentaries available to you, as I did. Can you tell of just two inhumane acts so I can respond to them, and hopefully explain them to change your mind about them? Unless you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and want to change your life to a Christ like way of life, you must believe and be baptized to wash away all of your past sins in order to be saved. Mark 16:16King James Version (KJV) 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 King James Version (KJV) 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 1 John 1:10 "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." King James Version (KJV) Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" King James Version (KJV) =================================================================================================== God is spiritual and you are human and spiritual, and you say he doesn't exist because he has to be proven by reality, really, a spiritual being needs to be proven by reality, sadly for you it's not going to happen, and here's why. Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." King James Version (KJV) John 4:24King James Version (KJV) 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 9346;9357;9354;9387;9344; Hebrews 11:1King James Version (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. God has always made it known how one must come to him, so why don't you do what he says instead of saying you need reality to believe in him. =================================================================================================== SUMMARY: Opponent has shown to lack biblical knowledge as why he continues to be an atheist, not because of the excuses he has given to discredit the bible, which I have shown him and proved things like contradictions were the product of man, and prophecies had to come from a supernatural being, as a man could never do this, and my opponent knows this to be true. The fine tuning of this world didn't come by chance, but by a plan put in motion by a supernatural being called God. There' s no scientific or historical inaccuracies in the bible, as I would love for him to reveal what he thinks they might be =================================================================================================== SOURCES: KJV
