I hope I replied correctly, I’m new on this app. I really like your discussions. But I’m not a “traditional” Christian I guess? I have different thoughts on things. I was not always a believer. And I’m not a “professional” of the Bible. Lol

And remember that some things in relation to opposing scriptures changed after Jesus died on the cross. Ooh also, I do believe the English translation is slightly askew from the original, but I believe that goes with translating anything.

Parents just want their children to do good. And I think if you believe in Him and genuinely try to do what you believe is good from what you’ve discerned from the Bible, God is happy. Also, if we are talking about certain stories from the Bible, Old Testament vs New Testament are very different.

needed so that you can receive Gods help when you need it. But Gods character is unchanging, there is a difference between the words in the Bible and Gods character. He is good and He loves everyone.

I think the Bible actually is subject to interpretation. Say a candy says “sour & sweet” but one person only tastes sour and the other tastes sweet. That is the truth to them, that doesn’t make it wrong. Gods word is the truth but it lives to change thru what is

Ooh this is a great question!! I believe when you read the Bible, you receive what the Lord intends for that time. It is called “the living word” so it does kinda change depending on the day/person but while you may come to a different conclusion on at times, Gods character does not change.

I’m sorry you experience that…not all are like that.. I think that society/education failed a lot of people so when people try to discuss/educate/even just communicate, it comes off very poorly & can be seen as destructive, hateful, & lacking thought. We need to bring back tact to both sides! ❤️

I’ve been looking but man, this app seems a bit one sided so far…
