I'm not questioning whether or not the Bible is the word of God or not, just establishing that - because of human error - it contains errors. I'll get on to the deeper theological debate once we've passed the first milestone of accepting that regardless of whether God exists or not, the Bible, divinely inspired or not, is primarily a human creation which contains human errors.
Well done Jay, you did well on question 1; basically it's an ambiguous passage which I've taken to mean one thing and you another ...
But please, answer my second question. But bear in mind that you'll get a lot more of them
Good speaking with you man.
Thats like asking why God didn't prevent 911. Or the December 2005 Tsunami. I can't answer it. But 911 was free will.
Free will you say?
Tell me, jay, why would an omnibenevolent deity allow such evil to exist?
He's allowing us to choose Good or evil. And the time for evil to exist is limited. It will end in time.
