'Converts' To Christianity - Continued

[naomi24]

A discussion instigated by Khandro in 'News' has turned into a debate on religion but is now almost off the front page. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further, since this is a more appropriate place to continue the discussion, a link to the original is here.

Why? You can read what's there just as I can. Whatever else you read into it, even though it isn't there, is up to you.

[Khandro]

There are no facts, only interpretations, but I think some interpretations are better than others.

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - // There are no facts, only interpretations //

You should print that out and stick it above your monitor, and read it before and after you post anything on here in the future.

That will prevent about ninety-eight per cent of what you post actually reaching the site, because you will delete it for the superior know-all preaching patronising guff that it is.

[naomi24]

Khandro, none of it is fact - it’s a story - so why not accept it as it is? Do you do the same with every biblical narrative, and if not, why not?

[Peter Pedant]

um no lets us fast forward 2000 y
you have data ( facts or not facts if you are Naomi)
and interpretation that converts it to information

you can print that out - Computer science 101, ch 1

and yes there is room interpretation without facts - think of a Turing Machine without input ....

You see, not wishing to overburden the usual suspects - if you say there is no St Peter - So Popey no 1 doesnt exist - what about Popey no 2 ( Linus that is!) or no 3 - they have to start being historical at some point.

or John - behold the Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world....
No John, No Christ, no Lamb no River Jordan - oops no that exists ! but no one baptising ever - until they start but it is someone else not John whose name has been lost....

well lardy dah !

PP, take a breath for goodness sake. Your obsession is getting the better of you again.

[nailit]

Are people with the mentality of Khandro even worth asking questions of??
//naomi: Will you answer my question at 10:36 please?//
Says someone who ignores numerous requests for answers?

Trying to have a Question & Answer discussion with some people is like trying to nail custard to a wall.

[nailit]

//I don't read the Watchtower, but I don't need a 'link' to prove that you're understanding of genesis barely gets above that of a six year old//
What do you need then??
Snakes dont talk (never have)
Women dont come from a rib,
Tsunamis/earthquakes arn't a result of mans disobedience.

Its YOU that has the mindset of a 6 yr old. Not me.
I dont still believe in magical thinking.
(BTW..Whats Santa bringing you this year?)

//PP, take a breath for goodness sake. Your obsession is getting the better of you again//
What the hell is he on about????

[naomi24]

Me, nailit. That’s what he’s on about … as always.

[Khandro]

I may have to review my earlier assessment of nailit's understanding of the bible being that of a six year old, to that of a five year old.

[naomi24]

Khandro, having consistently refused to tell us what you think Genesis 3 is all about your latest post does you no credit. Do you actually know what you’re talking about?

[Khandro]

Yes, it's about the fall

[naomi24]

Khandro, you are dancing around as usual. Why don't you say what you mean so that we all know what you're talking about. We know it's about 'the fall' - but what are the 'enormous implications for man' that you Goodlife alone appear to perceive?

[Khandro]

//'what are the enormous implications for man' that you Goodlife alone appear to perceive?//

It's not only the above named.

This is where insight and discemment come in. Obvously you've not not read the Bible as you would know the ansuwer.
They were told not to eat of the tree. Their disobedience showed their choice.

[naomi24]

You're still pussyfooting, Khandro. Why don't you have the courage to say what you're thinking?

[Khandro]

Kafka once claimed he understood the Fall of Man better than anyone else; a bold claim, but that's Kafka, innit?

[andy-hughes]

I know what naomi should buy you for Christmas Khandro, a pair of tap shoes.

[Khandro]

and for you andy, a cork
