No its not... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #135
Yeah, it is. trotsky Oct 2013 #138
No they don't ... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #140
Every Christian believes at least parts of the bible are literal. trotsky Oct 2013 #141
Ahh, they "pick and choose" what parts they like, huh? And your grandmother didn't, right? cleanhippie Oct 2013 #139
My grandmother followed the teachings of Jesus... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #142
So in one sentence you support my claim. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #143
The NEW Testament... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #145
So she chooses the New Testament, a PART of the bible. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #146
You obviously know NOTHING about Christianity... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #148
So you are telling me two things: she only believes the NT, and she believes all of it. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #149
She never said ALL of it was true.. VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #150
So she chooses only PARTS of the NT now? cleanhippie Oct 2013 #151
She chose to follow a prophet....not a book VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #162
Hahahaha. Ok. The bible is not the basis of belief in Jesus for your grandmother. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #163
No it's not... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #164
Except your first post said that she did rely on the bible. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #165
It's not about relying on it...Do you believe everything you read in every book? VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #166
During this discussion, you have repeatedly attacked me personally. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #167
You attacked my dead Grandmother's beliefs...AS IF VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #168
Questioning beliefs is not attacking a person. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #169
You didn't "question them" you disparaged them VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #174
So you agree that it was her beliefs, not your grandmother that was the issue. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #183
I said nothing of the sort...and you didn't "question them"...you flat out insulted them. VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #184
I "insulted" them? Get a grip, dude. cleanhippie Oct 2013 #185
Not a dude... VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #187
