| Comment | I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY THANKING YOU FOR A VERY PROMPT RESPONSE AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BY THEORETICALLY REPLYING THAT I FIND IT INCOMPREHENSIBLE THAT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MASSES WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO EVEN CONSIDER THE BIBLE'S TEACHINGS OF GOD'S LOVE WITHOUT FEARING SOME EXTREME RETRIBUTION. WHETHER OR NOT THE EXISTENCE OF AN ETERNAL FIERY PUNISHMENT WAS THE BRAIN-CHILD OF AMBITIOUS AUTHORS OR GOD HIMSELF IS FOR EACH OF US TO DECIDE OURSELVES BUT I WOULD HAVE A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM WITH PICKING AND CHOOSING THE PARTS OF THE BIBLE THAT I COULDN'T BELIEVE BECAUSE IT SEEMED UNREASONABLE. THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOD BLESS YOU. | ||

Hello to you! I love discussing many doctrinal subjects regarding God`s rationale for creating us like he did and our value to him. Also, I enjoy discussing things from the Atheist`s perspective too. I take the view that the Bible is not inerrant, that it has errors which are easy to prove, but I also believe that much in the Bible is God`s Word to humanity.
I have spent over 30 years studying the Bible and related materials. Though I am a layman, I feel confident about my knowledge of the scriptures and welcome all points of view and will treat you with the respect you deserve.
