Since you like to play with the Bible so much, why don't you repent by becoming a believer of it?

I do not wish to surrender my discernment to any one set of texts, that is totally irrational.
I would FAR rather READ IT ALL and judge in wisdom of knowledge. That is called "using God's gift of reason".

According to YOU, ANYTHING could be in the Bible and it is still valid, even if it is a LIE added by man:

That's more or less correct, since it wouldn't be a lie added by man if it were in the Bible. If it were in only a copy or two, it might be a lie. But if it were in the vast majority of copies, it would not be a lie. It would be, as it is, God's Word.

Scholars didn't get into God's mind to see that He wanted that ending in there, so He had it added later.

Wow, how convenient! No need to think critically or even rationally, just use post-hoc reasoning and believe that ALL of history aligns to your worldview and your magical thinking. There must be some kind of magic in that book you call Bible!

You are wrong. There isn't any magic in the Bible. There is only God's Word. When you happen to become so great that you understand and are able to use enough logic and knowledge to keep yourself alive much longer than 100 years - like 1,000 years - then you might have enough reasoning ability to determine that your logic is a bit better than that of someone else. (BTW, Satan does have a lot of knowledge, and has kept himself alive for thousands of years. Aren't you going to ask him how? After all, wouldn't your good buddy, Satan, offer some of that knowledge to you?)

Until that time, recognize that your logic is flawed if you don't accept Bible logic. Why? Because Bible logic has proven itself over and over to be the truth down through the ages.

Since you like to study the Bible so much, why don't YOU stop being SO NARROW in your "studies" and read the 24 other Gospels that you missed? Oh, I see that you won't accept anything from those other books because the Church of Rome did not accept them into the official canon of "inerrant ancient writings" and declared them to be heresies? Wow! You will get nowhere in your studies with that attitude.

No matter who left other books out of the Bible, it was because those books were flawed with regard to the uniform knowledge that the Bible contains - the teaching of God that is in the Bible. This is available for anyone to examine.

Thus, why play around with things not needed? The Bible is self-sufficient, no matter if you repeat the same things over and over with multitudes of additional books. The point is salvation through Jesus, and the Bible is well sufficient for that as it is.

You are an intellectual child, BADecker. At least MMH has enough critical thinking to realize that the Bible has been tampered with.

Well, what does this have to do with Bible tampering? You seem to like the idea of tampering with the Bible. You would even mess up the teachings of salvation by making your stupid Phoenix Journals that teach works righteousness into the way of salvation.

If the Bible happened to be flawed a little, you want to go all the way into that which is false by getting rid of the truth of the Bible.

You are totally into magical thinking and using post-hoc reasoning to justify your "perfect book" which is actually full of LIES added by man. Jesus tried to tell you that God's kingdom is within YOU, but you choose to think that God's kingdom of perfection is within the Bible.

Of course the Kingdom of God within you is true... if you are a Bible-believing Christian. Jesus even said such. You repeat this over and over all the time. The fact that you do this is that you are constantly trying to corrupt the way of salvation for people. How big of a cut on Phoenix Journals that you sell are you getting?

Since it is the Bible that shows salvation, thereby making the Kingdom of God to be in those who are saved by Bible salvation, the Kingdom of God is in the Bible as well. The Bible has no saying that says it is not.

The beginning of the Book of John shows that Jesus is the Word of God. So, when you get into the Bible, and get some of the Word into yourself, you are getting into the Word, and are getting some of the Word into yourself. That is how the Kingdom of God is in you as well as you being in the Kingdom of God.

The funny part is, since you have read some of the Bible, the Kingdom of God is working in you to convert you to the salvation of Jesus, the Word. Ha, ha, ha. You can't fight it. Either convert, or you will die.

What folly! You are just like those scientists who search for consciousness within the structures of the brain;

Huh? I have constantly said that there is a greater body than the physical body, a spiritual body, and that it is even possible that our memories are stored there. Why are you attempting to slander me in some silly way that is backfiring on you? It's probably because you don't have any foundation for the things that you tout.

you seek out the radio announcer inside the radio; what part of "God's kingdom is within YOU" is so hard to understand? Your narrow-mindedness will not EVER lead you to KNOWLEDGE, and your faith in GOD'S WORD is in error if you think that the BIBLE is inerrant. It is NOT, and you are promoting a horrible lie that does not stand up to reason nor even basic moral scrutiny (the Binding of Isaac is an OT story that has God terrorizing a child; how could that story be true if God is morally good?).

God is the One Who controls the Bible and what is written therein. Thus the Bible is inerrant even if it changes 100%. But, because God wants stability, the Bible has not changed. There simply are additional books and stories that are trying tho do the same thing that you do to some extent... ad themselves to the Bible.

Neither your false claims of salvation by works righteousness, nor your works righteousness will ever save you. You aren't good enough. You need the proffered perfection of Jesus for salvation. Every day you wait, you are coming closer to losing yourself forever.

No need to post your irrational opinion in this thread until you have faced the facts about your narrow-minded and fallacious claims about the Bible. God intervened to make that book perfect? NO WAY, THE QUALITY OF ANY ISOLATED MESSAGE DECREASES OVER TIME, AND THAT IS A LAW OF NATURE.

Whew! How much time is it going to take for the minimal quality of the Phoenix Journals to dissipate completely? The more of them that are written, the crazier they become.

You don't have anything that can stand up to the good works of Islam. With the coming Armageddon between Islam and the free world - in particular, with Christianity - when your buddy, Satan, takes over for a little while, then my Jesus will return and destroy Satan, Islam, and all good-works religions at the same time.

You really need to convert to Christianity now, while you have a chance. If you wait until after the return of Jesus, it will be too late for you.
