I think this can be a subset of the "Do Christian prophecies authentically exist?" as a subset of this thread. Certainly Noah's prophecy of the great flood was an accurate and fulfilled prophecy.
Then again, most people want to disbelieve the bible because it requires personal responsibility and a set of standards they don't like, so any opportunity to throw doubt into the mix is welcome to them.
I don't know. My eyes glaze over and I don't pay attention when it happens.
Just when was the last time you were dictated morality?
No. I never smoked. But I think that's more a matter of health than morality.
Was it when someone told you not to smoke?
That might be it. I listen and decided...nah!
Was it when someone said not to eat meat?
Politics, not morals.
Was it when someone said you have to buy healthcare insurance?
Actually, no one has ever said that to me. "Fornication" I have no problem with, but adultery, now that is a different matter and it relates directly to the golden rule. How do you view "fornication" as a moral issue?
Or was it that really annoying bible thumper saying to be honest and not fornicate?
Can you point out where I tarred Christians with any brush at all?
I would just love to see the same brush you tar Christians with used on all the other know it all experts on life

I see #3 as the only one that really makes sense.
And without 2, #3 is horribly anemic, at best. imho.
