Oh boy, now ya done it....I look at this sentence and see it as blatantly obvious that.....98VS1400 wrote:...it was mentioned that God expects us to live by rules, as set forth in the Bible, and nothing more.

God, no matter what form you choose, or word you'd say, or name you might call, Him, He did not write the bible or any scripture of any kind, or sort, not even the original Ten Commandments. Lest ye not forget, the book of Genesis was written by man and no other, stating things that are supposed to be interpreted as something He has stated yet never has. The, 'Rules' were written by Man and no other and the sole purpose of the rules is probably a good thing indeed, but non the less, written by man.
He could not have said unto the people, follow the book as I have written, because it hadn't been written yet. It is more probable that man himself said unto the people, they should follow the rules of Him, as written by man, in this manual of what we think, He would want us to believe, yet still, it is that word of man that is being spread and not that of Him, Himself. And who are we to even think He has to to be Him anyway? Is it not possible that He is female? No wait! He has no sex at at all. Therefore calling Him, Him is completely incorrect as would be calling Him, Her, instead, no?
Perhaps for this reason the words, God, Lord, Savior and whatever else were brought into being? We know the Native American Indians sure thought there is, "something" to worship because they have a dance for everything imaginable. Rain dance, Sun dance, Moon dance, Crop dance, War dance. I think they probably should lay off the MaryJ and shroomies for a while and think it over. BUT! It makes them happy and gives them something to believe in, even if they delude themselves with it.
As with others, believe what you want. I'll not make mock of you for it, as it's all good by me as long as it doesn't promote hate and death, war, killing or any number of the rest of the plethora of things that are bad and evil, it must be good stuff, right?
