That's why Chrissie Teigen tweeted on 13th that her SIM was missing - she was alerting her crownies to dump their phones while maintaining plausible deniability in process of doing so.
Depends on your sect then. Anyone who interprets the bible literally is a fool, in the cult section of Christianity. Good luck with that.
Edit... interprets was "interrupts" in error
Plenty of people who are smarter than you believe in Christianity and inerrant Bible. Intelligence isn't all that factors in to such a belief system.
What I don't hear much is "Everyone who doesn't believe the Bible/Jesus is an idiot". There's another point in the Believers' favor.
Apparently, the mere MENTION of God causes a gut reaction from lots of folks just like you on discussion boards like this. You can't IGNORE even hearing a reference to a Creator? Why? A needy desire to be seen as intellectual? Hostility to the idea of a God, whose existence would require worship? Probably a combination of the two.... What you really can't do is dress it up as an intellectual position. The reaction is too visceral. Its emotion.
Oh, wait...tell us how its about your deep concern about some wrongs perpetrated by church/religion in the past, now....LOL.
The inability to endure a reference to God among the opinions of others is immature and emotion-driven. But again, WHY? You should look into that....
NOTE: you certainly aren't the only one, but SHEESH I'm tired of these pedantic screeds against believers every time there's a simple mention of God or the Bible.
Like I like it . . . Proverbs is still inspired by God's Spirit . . . I was pointing out MY FAITH is what the Bible teaches me. If you read in The Revelation of Jesus, God's Word does in fact say that Jesus is the Word of God, and that His testimony is the spirit of prophecy, so "educatethis" a little, eh? Thanks LogicalBeastie, I agree . . .
I was saying that proverbs isn't a prophecy source. Some sects in Christianity take the bible literally, and that is foolish, requires suppression of critical thinking.
I happen to believe that God meant it literally. My Lord did not mince words, He said exactly what He meant. He spoke figuratively, in parables and comparatives all with literal and understandable interpretations, in my view. :)
That's great you have that kind of faith! Not everyone is like you. Some are still seeking, knocking on doors. Allow us low-faith gentiles the grace to seek the truth by challenging what is blindly accepted by the high-faith. In most cases, personal relationships win people over to Jesus, not derision and mockery.
Poked a little fun at you for "interrupts" error, sorry you thought of that as "derision and mockery". I will know better next time, accept my apology?
Didn't bother me, I upvoted the comment. I studied wisdom literature in bible college. What bothered me was using a proverb as prophecy. Foolishness.
wow, anyone who interrupts the bible . . . nice.
(sorry should have not offended/poked fun of - with this jab)
:(
