He has his faults, but I like him.

Rebel Jeb is pretty cool, and I've said before that I have no problem with Earthling. Don't hold grudges.

You gotta change with the times, man.

Frankly, I tend to agree, however:

It was a form of willful contempt. It was calculated spitting in the face of God.

Elisha didn't do it, God did. God reserves the right to terminate life.

They called him that to insult someone they knew was a prophet of God. And they believed in God too, it wasn't ignorant unbelief, it was willful contempt. It was a different time and place. Their comment was not merely calling him bald, it was showing contempt. They knew exactly what they were doing, spitting in the face of God, and they still did it.

Is 2 Kings 2:20- end the thing where Elisha called the bears to kill the youths? If so, there are a few important things to consider here. First of all, the "Youths" were not children. The Hebrew word indicates a teenager or young adult, possibly even in their 20s. Second of all, it was showing contempt for someone they knew was God's prophet. There were no "Christians" and "Non-Christians" back then, if you wanted to live in the Holy Land, you believed in God. That was the Law. God never demands that to be the Law in any other nation, but he did in Israel. It was kind of like blasphemy. Not that such a penalty, or any penalty, would be justified by secular authority, but this was by God's hand, and it was showing contempt, not unbelief.

As for the miracles thing, yes I know, but my point was, even to a non-believer, the Bible is a basically accurate historical document (Though with some errors), but not "Filled to the brim with errors."

Both things you mentioned are from Genesis 1-11. I happen to believe the entire thing, but the people who don't believe the Bible is Scripture aren't going too.

However, other than what I mentioned, the rest of the Bible is "True" even to an atheist, so it isn't "Filled to the brim" with inaccuracies, even from your point of view it is mostly true.

I've never heard of that book, but why are you talking to him on my wall?

And besides, the Bible is hardly "Filled with inaccuracies", even from a non-believers' wordview, all of it should be accurate except Genesis 1-11, the prophecies, Job, Jonah, Christ's Miracles, Revelation, and possibly the Exodus. That still leaves quite a bit of historical fact (By accurate, I mean historically accurate, you can't judge the moral commands as "Accurate" or "Not accurate" from an unbiased perspective.)

Yeah, I've notice lol! But no, we aren't related.

No more than Bill3000 and Domination3000.

When did your avatar and theme become so depressing?
