I heard there is also a "modernized layman / english version of the bible". Do you if this is true and it's good to also have? You might say, it's not the original translation therefor it's 'fake / untrue'. Ya but if I can't understand the Robin Hoodish, Robin Hoodish, Robin Hoodish version of english in the bible then I ain't getting the 'right translation' there either.

Thanks!

It doesn't even forbid the worship of other gods

...ahem... "for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"

I mean.. that's pretty effing clear, my guy.

Ahem yourself, friend. Unlike the Ten Commandments, that's not claimed to be a direct quote from God himself, is it? That came later. From the mouths of men, didn't it?

I can plainly see that you don't believe that the Bible is the word of God. If you think that you're a Christian, you need to re-evaluate your self-image, because, you aren't a Christian.

Which "the Bible" would that be, exactly? You seemed very careful not to specify. You seem to argue in absolutes that are, in fact, no such thing.

Not the whole thing, not directly, no, it's not. "The Bible", as you like to say it, didn't even exist until about 1,100 years after Christ walked the Earth. Like any other creations of men, it has been through so many iterations, translations, mistranslations, etc. that, while it may still contain within it some of the word of God, it can only be in part t this point. Not the whole.

We already know that there were entire books of scripture that were left out when the Council of Nicene decided what would be allowed in, to constitute "The Bible". And that was at the very beginning of what would be written down and accepted. By men.

And men are, as you have illustrated so well, imperfect, and it is their doom that they forget.

You might just as well tell me to take Homer's "The Iliad" (written a mere 700 years after the Trojan War) as the whole factual truth of the actual events at Troy.

So I will pray to God, not a book. And take any of his words that are still claimed to be contained in "The Bible" under advisement. Your words have the stench of matzoh about them, friend.

weird how jealousy was one of the 7 deadly sins.
