I apologize.
I actually enjoy reading your various posts in this forum.
Well, we've been down that road before and you claimed there was not even a suggestion in the Bible about Karma/Reincarnation.
I provided several examples from the Bible but you did not reply.
Then, I asked why you did not comment, you gave me a similar reply as above (I need to read or take a course in Bible interpretation).
I don't recall stating the Bible is full of contradictions.
There are contradictions though.
Do a web search on "contradictions in the Bible" and you'll see what I mean.
It may seem to you that I am bashing the Bible. I am not.
I am just pointing out areas that do not make sense to me or points of view that may not be to your liking.
Like I've said before, I consider myself a Hybrid Christian (for lack of better words).
That is, I believe the principles and teachings of Jesus but also believe in Karma/Reincarnation.
I also believe it was part of the belief system that early Christians had until the Bible was put together and books that supported those issues were thrown out and burned.
I agree that a true Christian would not say or do that.
It was an exaggeration to make a point.
For me, there is still that issue of if we are accountable for our sins now and in the future, even though there is the free gift of salvation.
I see that apparently that is not an issue with you.
I know, I know, go read some more ((grin)
Thanks for your reply.
