I didn't complain.

I highlighted some of the remarks you aimed at me and asked for it to be left there as a benchmark.

Unfortunately it was deleted along with your post.

Point is both groups believe they are doing Gods work.

The same applies to Christian beliefs, there are at least two extreme views which conflict each other but both sides believe that their way is the only true path to enlightenment.

Someone is wrong.

would be interesting to see what god has to say to all this fighting in his name-and i mean both sides

Anna, the fighting is from both sides but there's real people in the middle.

that the bible has had so many translations and been
told by so many people
some stuff got added or lost in translations/
or false interpreted in all those years...
The books composing the New Testament were written
many years after the events they describe

*high 5's Anna* ... it amazes me how just the placement of a simple comma can change the "meaning" of a sentence, for example, Jesus was crucified with 2 thieves, he said to them:

I tell you this day you will be with me in paradise

or did he say

I tell you this day, you will be with me in paradise

we're getting better and better at translating, but it wouldn't matter if it was word perfect, as the interpretation is still left up to the reader

Yeah some letters in the bible are just the interpretation or the view/opinion of the writer..and not a fact...
I still believe in some of it though and still believe in the good jesus teached or wanted to teach us...
If we all followed his rules,this world would be a better place.

An entire thread is dedicated to bashing a particular group of people, and I get edited and then deleted?
Is my post stored anywhere that I could be shown what was inappropriate?

[Flynn]

You want to take your words back Horty ?

Strange that you thought it necessary to message Horty on this thread rather than just sending him a PM.
