Title: Re: Off Topic: Not sure of the script

Harry, Make no mistake about it, there is no confusion of God's word. There are misinterpretations and there are deletions and additions made by man. In simple terms..there are those that believe there is more that just life.. this is a hope to which all faith is based. There are those that refuse to believe. It is not that there is no evidence to believe ( look up into the starlite heavens at night), it is they refuse to give God His proper glory as Creator. As a result, He darkens their foolish heart. Thus they live their life in constant fear of death. This fear manifests itself in forms we see as an ever accelerating decadence in morals and debauchery, both in social as well as government.   We have witnessed two major hurricane events in a month's time. Government response totally collapsed. The churches were the first responders and performed their intended function as a faith based system . This happened in a nation that is supposed to have all the answers and all the money. The city of New Orleans and it immediate environs has ceased to exist as a government entity and a society.The cities of Beaumont.Orange, Pt.Arthur and Lake Charles are likewise. Louisana and Texas are technically under marshal law with a military commander in charge. FEMA has wasted billions of dollars building a bureaucracy instead of a plan for emergencies. The order to evacuate Houston resulted in 2.5 million people  on grid locked freeways with no gas and no water or food. There was no FEMA plan. Regardless of whatever question was posed to FEMA, their answer was always " thats not our job". Trust your politicians at your own peril. We can debate the merits of the bible while Rome burns but at the end of the day, without food , water and shelter, 1.2 million people devastated by the storms are left on the street wondering what happened to all the promises that non-believers claim  government will take care of everyone.   Gosh!, Didn't you get the hint in " The Wizard of Oz" when the magician behind the curtain was exposed.   Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Veeder To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 11:59 PM Subject: Re: Off Topic: Not sure of the script RC Macaulay wrote: Alex Caliostro wrote: > >> i know tom and richard often post on esoteric issues -- i oft see >> frank quote from the latin bible >> >> i was wonderin if you cant believe scriptsure on what do you base belief Stephen A. Lawrence wrote.. This is nothing new.  The Catholic Church has never held that the bible is "inerrant", which is the way the belief that every word of it is true is usually described.  As far as I know, none of the mainstream protestant sects hold the Bible to be inerrant, either -- it's only when you get into the pentacostalists, the evangelicals, and the charismatic sects that you find a widespread belief that every word of it is truth Alex, You've been peeking < grin> . It is true that I have an " esoteric moment" on occasion. On the subject of inerrant wording in bible scripture, it has been my experience that people tend to believe whatever they want. With so many translations of the bible stemming from countless manuscripts, and with so many denominations , each claiming their translation is correct, it does appear a bit of confusion can cause a non believer pause. Wouldn't it be interesting to consider that an all wise Creator took this into account ? Richard Is this confusion all part of God's plan? Was the Bible a teaser of biblical proportions? When will "The Inerrant Word of God" become available? ;-) Harry
