the paradox reality is that where all the believes which arent true are believed :-)

even that the paradox is needed, this gives god total freedom and lucifer, or paradox falls.

God is one, and because of that he is love, and because of that all the lies had to be believed so the beliefs that aren't true could exsist, it made god possible, and his personality, instead of the parallell universes where every belief has to be true, this paradox allows god to skip all the parallel universes which are bad and put it in only one, this one.

It is so simple people can not see it.

okay, let me add a bit,

everything is belief, or are everythign atoms ??? tell me, yeah, tell me :)

what is closer to the truth ??

atheism is bad on honesty.
it is this honesty that kills atheism.

everything is a belief, and true or not, it is a belief.

so atheism is based on observation which is time dependant.

so there is no proof.

which leaves us with, every belief is believed by another belief,
everything is one.

you can't count what was not divided first.

there is only one absolute truth, not 2.

so why all the pain the bible created ?
you understand what a paradox is ?
the paradox makes the paradox unneeded.
thats why we live here, seperated from the one,
so the one, can be whatever he wishes.

Whatever you do, if you are honnest and love truth,
truth will find you.

It is not about theory, it is about intentions.

maybe its time people try to understand the bible from gods perspective…__it is a child book for children… so it has the most value in its explinations, but you have to grow to god perspective…god doesn thave a name, thats why atheism is leading also into gods direction, but if you take the cross in your head, and suffer by choice until you know that you dont know, you can proove his existence by not knowing, because there is not knowing and knowing except by the existence of everything, God is very alive, and christ is the begotten son, the one that is equal to the father…which is hidden in you and which you can decline.____Use logic and you end with God, and everything around you will start to proove it,__you will start to understand the bible away from blind belief.__the only way you can see God is seeing everything,which is love, which is acceptance, which is explination, which let go of explination and words, ends the logos and starts the one.____I know how this sounds, im the most sceptical person in the world, sceptisism is a gift of God, deceiving yourself is a choice, truth evolves, that is what you can find out, so never say never until you know what is never.

I love how ChallengeGodOpenly seems to think that is slight disagreement about the interpretation of a single example of what is being talked about here equals “Atheist misinterpretation” and taking “scripture completely out of context”.

Also i believe sparky, that the original author was, AS STATED AT THE VERY BEGINNING, a Theist, not an Atheist.

So according to the method of your very own criticism, we should all, flat out, consider your argument invalid because of a single potential error.

"Let it also be known that if this account is to be taken literally then that would make Jesus a liar. How so? How could Lazarus be at the bosom of Abraham in heaven when Jesus had already said that no man had ascended to heaven other than himself? ( John 3:13 )"

Lazarus didn't ascend, he died and his spirit went to heaven. Christ was glorified when He was resurrected and then He ascended into Heaven 40 days later because He was already Holy and Pure. Another atheist misinterpretation. I love to hear people who don't study the Bible take scripture completely out of context.

Thanks for sharing this. I devoted several sections of my book Christian No More to the topic of Hell and where the different words came from and what they really mean. (And I'm glad to see what I came up with is the same as you have here!) What's particularly bizarre is that while Christianity has effectively based the majority of its present day teachings on the theology of Hell (or at least eternal reward vs eternal punishment), in fact, when you add up all the verses in the entire Bible that discuss any kind of eternal punishment (including all the versions you provide in this blog), it would barely fill a single page! And so I find it fascinating that these people would spend so much of their life focusing on the "don't be bad or you'll go to Hell" topic when it's such a tiny part of their supposed holy book.

I've read a lot on atheism but never stumbled upon an etymological look at the bible. Neat stuff! Thanks
