Pretty good advice to the NG:

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

"Fear not, then," said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might."

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace

It's a pretty 15th Century carol, of course, but the sentiments are
utterly ridiculous. And with your attitudes, Snipper, your professing
to
be a "Christian" is the height of hypocrisy.

Skipper the Christian? If so, he must have misread Matthew 5:44. Maybe
he thinks it reads, "prey on those who persecute you." :-)

Do you believe in the Bible Chuck?


"Believe" in the bible? Whatever does that mean? Might you qualify that
comment?



OK.

Do you believe in the words of the Bible?

I don't mean to be difficult, but what is it you are asking?

I already explained.

Are you asking me if I believe the bible to be "the word of god and
literally true"?

If that's what you are asking, then my answer would be no, it is not the
word of god and it is not literally true.

I am asking a simple question Harry. Do you believe in the words in the
Bible?

The answer is 'yes' or 'no'.
