How Mike? I only hear the Christians talk about faith? Where is the spiritual growth? There is a difference between faith and knowing what we can actually attain.

Evidently I am a Christard, how quaint.
The fact that history came to the Jews via an alternate source (Sumerians or whoever) isnt surprising is it, really?
Thats because its history and the Jews as a race didnt exist prior till then
I have no doubt the ANE cultures had the foundations of history and even knew about a coming Messiah.
Its not that hard to comprehend really, is it???
Adam was the father of all the nations and Noah after, as well, obviously every culture from the Ancient Near East would have known of Yahweh.........obviously.
This is fairly bland at best, interesting and different but just poorly assumed history.
This Christard will dismiss this fella in the youtube vid as a little strange.
I have to agree after watching the rest of the videos. This guy is definitely not on about god and is doing the same think he is accusing the bible of doing, putting his own ideas into the translation.
And by the 3rd and 4rd video its like he is talking about someone who would not be god, but a devil..
Spoken like a true christian......as has already been mentioned, the brainwashing over the years has worked and christians just cannot get their heads around the words LITERAL TRANSLATION!!!
The whole story of the OT was CHANGED on purpose - which is the one that you believe!! So, you believe in a story that was deliberately manipulated by other human beings..........
Of couse, all christians will find some way to try and make out that this is not true and that the LITERAL TRANSLATION is incorrect.......human nature I guess, when faced with the truth that contradicts your firm beliefs.

If any other religion was put on trial as much as christianity was, well they just are not. Only christianity will be attacked all day long and no one will question why, but if there is something questionable about another religion it is just not reported.
The doctorine that comes from the New Testament of the Bible has stood attacks for 2000 years,
its not going to go away, no matter if aliens materialize before everyone and proclaim that they "engineered" us as a human race.
Christians now are understanding science in a way that will cause the evolutionary thinking people to not have any good rebutals.

I agree i am a true Christian, but i am very open minded in my believes.
I believe the bible has been changed alot,
but not into what this guy believes, i was with him from the first 2 videos until he started saying god wanted burned meat... I mean come on, why would a god that made us want burned meat?? that seems more like what we would want -_- ...
So what he is accusing the bible of, he is doing the same thing by putting his own words into it.
Look at how much of his own detail of what them words mean he goes into, does that not make no sense to you??.. The bible is free he has a book to sell, that should be enough to end this topic...

Well the book we now know as the bible says that he wanted to smell the offerings so if you're trying to discredit this guy by saying his beliefs are ridiculous, remember that they were taken directly from your precious book.

Funny, isn't it. He doesn't believe the guy is right about the bible...because he quoted the bible.
I swear, the best way to stop this nonsense called religion is to demand the religious people actually read what they proclaim they believe in....really read it..not just blindly let the sentences slip by their head, forgotten the sentence they just read a paragraph later..

So your saying this guy is right?. Sure he does rise some good points, but to agree with him imo is selfish, as he is pretty much doing what he is accusing the bible of , and thats putting his own take on what happened.
Why has no one else in all the years came to this conclusion that god is really the devil??
i dont believe everything i read in the bible
, i like to mostly go on gut instinct.
so i know the is a god, but what he is talking about is not the god i believe in...

I seek the one true god who neither demands nor requires my worship.

Yes mcdgray129, but what he is doing is translating whatever was recorded, not giving his opinion on what God wished to smell. It's an interesting subject because you and I believe in something different than eachother believes, yet we are discussing this without judging eachothers beliefs. As well as others here. The discussion continues, and that's a great thing.
Nobody here is saying that what this man says is the all knowing truth. He simply is translating what he believes is the truth, while I am sure because it's human nature that he's including some personal assumptions. It's unavoidable, even in Science.
What we all need to do on both sides is to try and weed out the personal reckless assumptions of anyone on either side of this touchy arguement. Surley nobody can disagree that over so many centuries many, many historical facts probably have vanished or have maybe even been purposely lost or manipulated. It unfortunately has been the way of the world for quite some time now. We all gotta learn to read between the lies even if that sometimes contradicts our own beliefs. ~SheopleNation

Ya know, at this point, don't even recall who originally wrote the quote above... I am pleasantly astounded that this thread has lived this long, with so much positive discussion...
I haven't even watched the OP vids yet, but this THIS is the stuff I wanna see more of in this forum.
Thank God we have people actually analyzing the original texts and letting us know what the real story is.
Not adding much here except a bump....where have all of you been on the recent forum threads???
We needed you!!

The what?
the devil? wtf...
nothing even remotely close to that...at best, the god of the bible is some ensign from some greater star command if we take it literally.
and erm..wow, just wow. you didn't watch the videos, you didn't read the bible..why are you even in this thread?
i dont believe everything i read in the bible
First you must read the bible before you don't believe in it.
, i like to mostly go on gut instinct.
Same here, I am pretty sure Kim Kardashian is a goddess for real. my gut tells me so..always trust the gut, right?
so i know the is a god, but what he is talking about is not the god i believe in...
edit on 20-1-2012 by mcdgray129 because: (no reason given)
You believe your gut
therefore, you believe you are god..a manifestation of your best traits and ideals..thinks along your lines (maybe doesn't do your actions, but has your sort of spirit)
Your own personal jesus -Depeche Mode
And incidently, if you did some research, many topics, such as jesus was the morning star, has been around for awhile and with very good points added to them. Hell, I made a thread on that subject years ago on here.
And the literal translation is being done by many sources, and all are coming up with a very similar result.
nevermind..just..nevermind.
