Why I take the Bible literally

Two Adulterous Sisters
23 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

5 “Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her.

9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. 10 They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her.

11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men. 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.

14 “But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans[a] portrayed in red, 15 with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea. 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she

Goose, gander, or simple hypocrisy?

Your words are violence and hate speech and must be censored and you should be banned.

Don't quote the Bible to me out of context as if you have the moral high ground. You are wallowing in quicksand.

Clear difference on all levels between speaking of a people, a culture, a nation, as behaving like whores with other nations...and depicting stimulation, an erect penis and anal penetration....to a kindergartener. Wholly age inappropriate.

Did you, personally, take your underage children to the movie theater to watch XXX movies? Why not?

Further, who is responsible for your child? You, as the parent; or some queer gummint functionary that never had, never will have, and in fact hates children?

What you do with your parts is on you, I personally don't care, that is between you and G!d - just like it is for me. But when it comes to my children, oh hell no.

Did you take your 5, 6, 7 year old children to the theater to watch XXX gay porno? Why not? Hypocrisy indeed.
 
I haven't mentioned the election and had no intention...mine are extended observations, not chance solitary occurrences but patterns of behavior contradictory to common sense.
 
Whatever. Take it outside, please

Further US political argument will be deleted without notice from this thread in the Christianity forum. Sorry
 
Sorry for my impertinence, but I want to be perfectly clear in my understanding.

Leftist hatred can lay in a thread on this board for months....but the moment someone calls the hater to task, then it becomes a problem? That is certainly how this comes across to me. And it is not the first time.

If this is a new rule, it needs to be equitably enforced.

Did you ever consider to change your mind, and if you didn't ever consider, why?

No I haven't changed my mind but I've learned a very valuable thing since I posted that. Offense is an abomination to God. I've spent my life building up walls of offense and since November I've been tearing these walls down one by one. It's very freeing and it's been instrumental in healing relationships and loving people the way God wants me to love people.

I wanted to address this to explain why I might be intolerant of those that take the bible out of context or pick and choose passages they like and leave out the rest.

I believe with all my heart that it's God's direct message to me. Think about how Holy and Sacred that would make it that God spoke and the written Word is the result. To deny that is blasphemy to me but I understand that not everyone believes as I do.. but when Scripture is twisted beyond recognition it would be as if I was giving permission for someone to blaspheme God by not answering back.

Ok as to why I take it literally. Question if you were wrong in interpreting it in a way God did not intend and developed a false teachings and shared that teaching with others.. the bible says their blood is on your hands. If I take it literally then when I face God I can stand on the fact that I took Him at His Word and didn't put my Self into it.

What this means. Yes the earth was created in six literal days. The earth is approximately 6000 years old. I'm more and more convinced we are not traveling around the sun 67000 mph and we are in an enclosed environment. I believe there is a place of torment Sheol and a Lake of Fire Hell. If I'm wrong then I'll find out later but by taking it literally I am secure in not fabricating based on mans teaching.

I believe the Bible is complete and doesn't need further interpretation or messengers with a different message. God's plan of Salvation is clear and that's what it's all about. How He is dealing with Mans rebellion and how He made a way for our redemption. I feel secure in my Salvation and it boggles my mind that someone could possibly try to convince me that it's wrong and they have a different truth. Funny right?

What a wild ride this is!

WOW! Do I ever disagree with everything you've said! There's one word that describes this - EXTREMIST!

Especially the literal 6-Day creationism. You are in agreement with John MacArthur, John Barnett, Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, and Hanky Hanegraaf. Literal 6-day creationist believe the Leviathan and behemoth were dinosaurs and that Noah put the dinosaurs on the ark. So you know - literal 6 day creationism, like Trinity and pre-trib, is driving people away from God!
