T'was a rhetorical question. I'm really after a reply from our resident religionists, but I won;t get one ......
Not sure what sort of answer you expect from " our resident religionists". Different people believe different things. Some believe that it is all to be taken literally. Some believe at least part of it is metaphor.
WHat about Jesus "ascending into heaven", into the clouds, like RIchard Branson in his hot air balloon?
Are we supposed to take that seriously, or not?
Which bits of the bible are real, and which false?
The ascension of Christ into heaven is an essential key part of Christianity, deny this and you are denying the resurrection etc.
Personally I believe the whole Bible, fact is stranger than fiction and many things most people like to just dismiss as fantasy stories should be taken more serious as anything with God behind it is possible.
Religious people just cherry pick at their own leisure.
So all the nice bits about being kind to each other are true but all the bad bits about slaughtering animals and raping children are false.
Religious fake Christians might do this, but people like myself who are true Christians do not. Yes there are accounts of various horrid acts in the Bible, but so what, its not condoning them and those which God instructed people to do to their enemies in warfare etc where killing everyone was common place, is fair game, especailly for those days.

Yes it is. There are all kinds of sick things.
It states that people who have affairs and homosexuals should be killed. Prostitutes should be burned. There's even a bit where it says God himself will rape and kill women.

I can assure that you it wasn't intended as a compliment.
You're so mean !:(
So you claim to understand it? Excellent. Explain away, then. Explain where the sperm came from that fertilised Mary's ovum and where Jesus got his Y chromosome from.

This is where ignorance of the Bible trips you up. Without getting into another homosexuality debate, like it or not, it is a sin, sexual deviancy under old laws are punishable by death by stoning, so what.
Where does it say that God will rape and kill women? I do not know of that one. Certainly God has those who oppose him and his people utterly destroyed and humiliated as punishment, again so what.
This is a good indication that you should be on Gods side and accept Christ, otherwise horrible death and curses await you.
God is not a lefty do good liberal who follows mans moral codes, idealology and new age thinking. We should be the ones who should obey God.

I don't obey some pathetic make believe God, nor do I I live in fear of a Lord who sounds like a right nob. I bet he was gay himself but couldn't accept it so that's why he started smighting homosexuals.
I'll do whatever the hell I want in my life thankyou very much and I stick two big fingers up at this God. Infact, I'm going to go out and shag as much arse as I possibly can just to piss him off even more.

Using threats and spreading fear is a pretty shitty way to encourage people to support you.
Your God's moral code appears to fall way below that of the majority of decent human beings.

How judgmental of you. 'True Christian' indeed.
What are you on about?
It's my explanation that you don't understand.
Like I said, you just don't understand it.:)

Wow. :eek:
Genuinely scary.
Isaiah 3:17
“the Lord will smite with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.”
This God chap sounds like a great guy.
The shittiest thing in the old testament was god.

All that to annoy a God you don;t believe in?
I look forward to our gifted simian's response.
More to annoy religious nuts like you.
I'm sure he's doing it because he enjoys shagging arse, the fact it pisses off a non-existent deity is just a bonus.
What for? What did I ever do to you?
Jesus was a bit of a hippie, though.
So explain it then. Explain how
is supposed to be an answer to the questions:
Using threats and spreading fear is a pretty shitty way to encourage people to support you.
Your God's moral code appears to fall way below that of the majority of decent human beings.
Indeed it appears to fall a long way below that of the average 1960s East End gangster or Mafia don.
Jesus was the word made flesh by the power of the holy spirit.
