I do apologise....... I was thinking of Tyndale, executed for heresy.

But there was much that the Christian religious establishment did not want the people to know. For example, translations of the bible were not welcomed, and a good example of this was the execution of Luther. Later on, reading the bible and questioning the gospels was a dangerous activity...

Most interesting...... You have obviously had a most varied and interesting life. Edit: I've just seen your last post, and Yes, I also thought that you had been referring to yourself!!! ....... I did read your list through and agree with it all, but do need to ask 2 questions. I guess that...

Fair enough. I don't expect that Baha'u'allah did intend to support the gospels as faultless when he referred to them. Obviously some Baha'i followers are likely to claim that Baha'u'allah cannot be wrong about anything and that I can understand. For years bible debaters have insisted that...

When our scriptures quote myths from the Bible or Qur'an, does that make them historical? Hi Sen, I wanted to offer a reply to your thread title and I hope that's ok. I'm not sure which reports from the Old Testament are myths, actually, and it seems quite possible that takes such as the...

Oh please! My wife bought a bottle of Jack Daniels for Xmas 2022....it's still on the shelf! However, Jesus and all Galilean peasant classes needed to drink wine if they wanted to drink safely, just as my forefathers drank beer. The Baptist heard stories about Jesus, who he ate/drank with and...

I remember reading how Jesus loved his wine and meat, sometimes quite a lot. Do you remember how at a wedding his friends, family and himself drank all the wine, and then his mother called for more to be brought. Please don't worry yourself over enjoying your wine in moderation. Life is not...

Thank you for taking your time.

Thank you for that list. I suppose some countries will persecute Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists and any others who don't follow a particular culture or religion. I am interested in your total belief in all of the bible. I do know some strong Christians but they don't accept...

Hello again! It's good that you follow all your country's laws, regardless of who holds government at any particular time. It's sad to hear that Christians (or any others) are being murdered for faith in bad countries. Do you know where that is happening at this time?

Thank you, I enjoyed reading that. These are your beliefs and it's your right to have them. But obviously you must also obey the laws of the country that you live in, even if they differ from your bible. All the best to you.

The sun's rays light up our atmosphere's atoms/molecules. Beyond our atmosphere there is nothing to be lit up.

You might imagine the above but it really is the other way around. The more distant planets are extremely cold, but their inner cores are extremely hot because of either seismic activity or massive density. Imagine seas of methane on some distant planets. Our atmosphere causes the low sun to...

Accepted with thanks.

I never mentioned them in such a way!

So I'm not the only one with fat fingers. :D

The only insult that I have read on this thread is a post by you, throwing good friends of mine in my face.

On the side ....... I seem to remember that Muslims have automatic entry to heaven, together with their parents, if they become Hafiz and can reciite the Quran by heart . I wonder if the parents of Hafiz can get off Scot free for bad actions? Cases of parents beating their children until death...

Back at you, Muhammad. And slavery.....tell me more about slavery being back then... whilst you cling to OT laws which were needed...back then. This is all just making stuff up as required, imo. Strange thing is, I worked with lots of young Muslims before, and all they wanted was a bit of...

But.......adultery, Muhammad, up there with murder......!! How about your God's divine justice for same sex marriages? Sorry, but the more people who discard such beliefs, then the better the world, imo.
