Intriguing. And there's something to that view.

STL, I knew there'd be some interesting controversial views! Maybe they remain perpetual virgins? But some say there are no virgins at all. Instead, there are white grapes, or raisins. How very disappointing for those foolish martyrs who expect wives, and get raisins. https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/islamic-scholar-punctures-72-virgins-theory-says-martyrs-will-only-get-raisins-in-heaven-340579.html

The greatest secret in the world today, is that man created God, not that God created man. For some unknown reason man has given his creation crazy powers over himself. Man has equiped God with the authority to cast man into the eternal fires of hell. This made up God, also has even been given the power to even judge man’s personal thoughts. Of course, it totally depends on which parts of the world man lives, as to what the made up rules are that must be followed. If one comes from the Middle East, Alluh demands that all infidels be killed that ignore his nonexistent powers. Also woman must be covered from head toe, except for a small slit around her eyes, so she might avoid bumping into everything, as she walks, always being escorted by a male relative. And the male is looking forward to his death, so he will have 70 virgins at his disposal. What happens when the women are no longer virgins, is not known? People who reside in the America’s, are thankful their God somehow impregnated a virgin (are virgins a recurring theme in the minds of men who have madeup their God)? Within a few years of this son being born, God demanded his son suffer unimaginable tortures, and be murdered by hanging on a cross until dead. If this God performed these unexplainable acts today, he would at the least, be in prison the rest of his forever life, or his forever life, somehow ended. These are only two of the versions of these Gods, as there are many, many versions of this fraudulent God in the world today, so one can pick which one they want to control their lives.

The greatest secret in Wayworld is that the Bible doesn’t “interpret itself” you have to read it, study it, interpret it yourself, and apply it’s lessons in life.

The truth that a figure of speech that was not inspired by God or written in scripture “the Bible interprets itself” and exploited to the stars by VP is not a recent belief introduced here. It is merely a factual observation. Here VP twists scripture by introducing a figure of speech personification. The Bible itself is an inert object incapable of any human activity. Contrary to your BS negative observations the revealed Word of God around here is on the rise not declining. Since minds are no longer held captive by Wierwille idolatry and knees no longer bend before his molten images Christian minds here on GSC are free to worship God and incorporate His Word into their lives in the best way they see fit with complete freedom of will no longer bound to the self seeking goals of the small minded leaders forced upon them as “the present truth”. We are also not bound to supporting one organization made by man as the only one worth supporting. The Bible has no need of people continuously rubbing snake oil into its covers for people from all over the world to derive benefit from it. And 99.9999% of those people if you asked them about “The Teacher” or “The Doctor” would say ”Who?”

If anyone choses to debate Mike on his post above, the third in this thread, I posted his post in its entirety in Doctrinal. Otherwise, I know what this will turn into. Though, maybe, it could turn into something interesting. I'm sure we've had this debate a time or two, and he doesn't need to derail this thread, as well. And he isn't brilliant at starting his own thread. So there, Mike, I've started it for you, and you can run it from now on. Now back to the regularly scheduled programme.
