RE: I Left Evangelical Christianity to Join Steemit – Introducing A New Theologian To Steemit

Tell me something, why is your blog about the bible if you want the truth to be known? I would think it's because you believe what is written in the bible is the truth. Because you believe it's the truth you can never entertain the idea that what is written may be false, which in turn makes for a biased perspective. You may not tell people to believe it, but you are going to try to give them reasons to even if you don't realize it. What would you do if you found evidence of the entirety of the bible being propaganda, misinformation, would you ever tell your readers that what's in the bible is a lie? I don't think so, I think unknowingly you're just looking to validate it.

A christian teaching the unbiased truth about the bible is the same as a racial supremacist trying to teach the truth about race.

Hey Tommy,
Did you read my original posting?

What makes you think I didn't? Even if you say you don't have a label for yourself, that you will be talking about all sides, if you believe what's in the bible (even if only in part) is true then you're a christian.

I do not reject the Bible

Because of that you can't analyse it completely, because you will always examine it from the perspective of someone who believes it's true.

What would you do if you found out absolutely everything in the bible was placed there, the way it was, to hurt people? Even if there's good advice there in a few places, if in your studies you found out the bible is not only a distortion of the truth but harmful to humanity, what would you tell your readers?

Have you found that everything in the bible was placed there to hurt people? By "placed there" do you mean the books we have were chosen to hurt people or that Paul (or whomever wrote Romans), for example, wrote Romans, to hurt people. I'm genuinely interested in your answer because I have not heard this perspective.
