Is Bible inerrant

Quote from frothycuppa:

Written by mystics in the language of mysticism, ie: allegory and symbolism.. it has to be interpreted much like a dream

The monumental stupidity of Christianity is taking the bible literally

Written by confused minds who mainly idolized the maker of this world, the god of bodies and nations. Written in fear of such god. Written to appease such god. Written to call upon such god for help, protection and vengeance. Written by egos in the interest of war. Written in the language of whiners, oracles, and storytellers.

Genesis says that a deep sleep fell upon Adam. It does not say he ever woke up.

Adam symbolizes consciousness. Consciousness symbolizes the first split of the mind from it's Divine state of wholeness. Consciousness is the beginning of sleep. Sleeping, it weaves a dream of division and death.

The monumental mistake of pop orthodoxy was to value a bodily resurrection. This turns my teachings upside down, and builds a house upon the sand. If the house seems strange, it's because it's foundation is even stranger. The body is antithetical to the reality of our Father's true creation. It is the symbol of the fear of God, made specifically for division, for attack, and for dying. It can never be reconciled with the reality of perfect spirit. It has no place in heaven for it's purpose is to "put asunder" what God has joined. Joined is mind and spirit. The body breaks the mind into pieces so that it is no longer whole, no longer holy. In this regard, the pop orthodoxy was monumentally blinded by an idol. The idol will remain and function as designed as long as it is valued.

Quote from Thunderdog:

Okay, but what about:

- Stoning for preaching or practicing a different religion?
- Stoning for breaking the sabbath?
- Stoning for stubborn and rebellious sons?

Do those work for you, too?

I had some hair trigger apostles who might have stoned Thomas had I not instructed him to keep some things to himself. The following quote evidences the seeds of a rift between Thomas and most of the other apostles. What most would have considered blasphemous at that time, I taught to Thomas privately.

Quote from gospel of Thomas:
And he took him, and withdrew, and spoke three sayings to him. When Thomas came back to his friends they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"
Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the sayings he spoke to me, you will pick up rocks and stone me, and fire will come from the rocks and devour you."

The three sayings I told Thomas that day were:

1. You dream of a desert, where mirages are your rulers and tormentors, yet these images come from you.

2. Father did not make the desert, and your home is still with Him.

3. To return, forgive your brother, for only then do you forgive yourself.


The list of apostles in one of the pop gospels is different from the list in another. No matter. The apostles are symbols of everyone. At any given time, the majority is going to believe in the reality of the world...because that's what they desire.

Primarily, the majority believed that resurrection was for the body. Thomas groked that it was for the mind.

The majority believed that I would come back soon, in a body, to establish the kingdom of God on the earth.
Thomas groked that the kingdom of God is already here, but people just don't see it.

These two majorly different interpretations of what I taught explain the confusion that grew out of the earliest teachings among the apostles.

Now if you build on a faulty foundation, the rest is going to be hilarious. It's like when "I Love Lucy" tells a lie to her husband Ricky. Then, she has to keep making up more lies to back up the first lie, and more and more on top of that. It makes for great comedy, but also for great tragedy.

Such is the world.

When are you going to tell us about the secret code you found in the Bible by applying equadistant letter sequences. ?

At least rcanfiel attempts, misguided a deity as he is, tries to say something he thinks is of value.
