Open minds............. Open minds............. I think the 'points' shared in the papers speak for themselves, depending on what parts one is willing to accept, explore or further research. Its about keeping an 'open mind',...not just 'con-cluding' that 'God' has locked and sealed his...

more light........... more light........... Your pseudographical 'letters' were addressed earlier, and no evidene of some 'numerical' proofing has been provided, let alone that it somehow verifies the veracity of the Bible as it was 'canonized'. Don't forget,...other canons existed and...

Beyond exclusiveness.............. Beyond exclusiveness.............. Belief and assertion. Addresed these passages earlier. They are both 'pseudographical' for starters,...and even still....none of these passages say the Bible is the absolute, complete and final revelation of God...

Then go elsewhere. pj

More to consider.............. More to consider.............. And I addressed this in my 2 former posts to you, with resource links for some re-educating. As an eclectic I explore, study and research many different religious or philosophical schools, recognizing that truth is universal, and a...

spiritual rhythm and higher mathematics...... spiritual rhythm and higher mathematics...... Yet this as we've shared comes back to a subjective experience of the 'tooth ache', you having a memory of such. - hence you can be sympathetic. I don't know however if this can be correlated or...

Truth exists 'wherever' it is being revealed...... Truth exists 'wherever' it is being revealed...... The Bible does not necessarily as a whole, particularly the OT...claim that it is words of 'God' himself, other than the assumption and belief-system of the writers claiming that. Some parts...

the kingdom is within...... the kingdom is within...... God bless you too. I trust 'God' knows those who know Him and works thru those vessels that are open to be used by him. You cant limit, restrict, qualify or contain the Infinite ;) paulie

You're under the spell of Paul's charge of cursing any other gospel besides his own (his own 'spin'), but I'd be careful of who or what I 'curse', let alone calling anyone a 'fool', per Jesus caution. The social gospel of Jesus in the UB is wholly acceptable, good, serviceable and exemplary...

True atonement.......... True atonement.......... See: Reconsidering the concept of blood atonement (follow all linked commentary) You're still stuck on 'blood-atonement'. We've already covered such, also within a 'eucharistic' context,....symbols and tokens. The UB portrays such as a...

'God' is the primal original reality...... 'God' is the primal original reality...... First off, I'm not rejecting any truth in the Bible, or discrediting its 'inspiration' (some books may be more inspired or distorted than others). The UB accepts and builds upon the truth given in earlier...

Proving the words.......... Proving the words.......... You're back to the circular course of either an assumption that 'God' said so....or because you say so,.....since both are inter-dependent. Again,....you're assuming 'God' (whoever or however you define this 'term') spoke and we have his...

"Its true, because I say so" "Its true, because I say so" This basically saying that the Bible is true, "because the Bible says so" :rolleyes: Religious scribes would certainly claim "thus saith the Lord" to authenticate any commands or rules,....all in the interest of the religious cult or...

God is Life.............. God is Life.............. God inspires, yes....not sure about 'forces'. Inspiration can be distorted or conditioned by the human channel to varying degrees,...then there are some 'creative doctoring' from scribes over many centuries. 'God' alone is Spirit and Life...

Truth exists wherever it is being communicated Truth exists wherever it is being communicated I see no convincing evidence for this hypothesis yet. Perhaps you can start a new thread on that subject? Readers of the Bible or UB are to read such texts with an open mind and heart, letting the...

Beyond numbers.......... Beyond numbers.......... Hi Puppet, I've addressed your last post earlier,...there is also the concept of the 'thought-adjuster' that is most wonderful,...a concept unique to the UB,....linked here. The 'demons' you mention exist only in your imagination. The claim...

pigs in the parlor........ pigs in the parlor........ Plenty of contradictions, differences, cultural contrasts, author-opinions, redactions, interpolations, additions/ommissions woven thru-out the 'scriptures',....so not sure what 'hog' your attempting to 'wash'. :crackup: pj

Proving claims..... Proving claims..... Proof? I'd visit the OP for starters (which compares UB and traditional Christian theology), and follow along the thread if you'd be properly informed on the subject. One may be updating or correcting the other, as well as expanding upon truths...

Claim of inerrancy unproven............ Claim of inerrancy unproven............ This claim is so incredible as to inspire a chuckle. Since you're making this incredible claim, provide the evidence for it. Can you provide evidence for your claim, beyond it just being your 'belief' that it is...

Respecting the subject.............. Respecting the subject.............. As shared previously, and by a study of the subject from the paper(s) on 'thought-adjusters' (beginning here up to paper 111. (learn therein). You're talking the term too 'literally',...and by doing that, missing the...
