I don't know but maybe the Muslims might be right in calling both Hebrew Bibles and the Christian Bibles corrupt.

>> No.22306223

people say things like this but won't offer substantial examples
the most substantial are additions that were already known to the early church, like the extended ending of Mark, or don't interfere with essential doctrine like the Johanine comma
the fact there are scribal errors is mediated by the rich cornucopia of fragmentary documents we have of the texts. More than any other documents of antiquity.
This idea that the bible is "corrupt" is relatively new, and more importantly, uninformed of how textual criticism works.

The Jewish understanding of the Spirit has always been 'the Spirit of Prophecy', so too the early Fathers who claim the Spirit inspired the gospels, ie they 'helped' them in prophecy and discerning the Canon. I cannot find anything from the Bible that indicated the Holy Spirit was worshiped in any way, and I think most Christians don't pray to the Holy Spirit while still believing it is God.

It seems to me, Trinitarians held Neoplatonic views and tried to complete the Trinity like in Neoplatonism. So they filled in the blank with the Holy Spirit.

>> No.22306518

>>22306446
Jesus says blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable so that's pretty big in saying he should be worshiped. The Ascension of Isaiah is second-or-even first century and it's pretty much Trinitarian. Augustine not explicitly mentioning the comma has been (unconvincingly) used as evidence of it being a later addition, but Augustine literally wrote a book-length treatise describing his views on Trinitarian theology. So if the Johannine comma is an interpolation, Trinitarianism became the dominant strain of theology perfectly fine without it.

"we can proceed by interrogating some famous instances of spontaneous bibliogenesis. If we consider the paradigm case of holy writ, letters and books which are considered to be one and the same substance of God, as the author of the Gospel of John maintains, we might consider the oddity of Hayy ibn Yaqzan, whose name meant “Alive, son of Aware” and whose true story is recounted in the 12th century historian Abujaafar Ibn Tufayl’s Philosophus Autodidactus. As all Muslims know, the Koran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century by the angel Gabriel, but this case is less remarkable than the story of Hayy, who was himself born “spontaneously” into the uninhabited wilderness. (And this is also relevant to us, for here we have a case of a mysterious appearance, a natural complement to a mysterious vanishment)."


"I have related these stories because they illustrate the case of an artifact that enters into the world from the outside, taking different forms at different times, infiltrating the minds of men as by subterfuge. I will now expound a third and more chilling example, which I believe may be most relevant to the incident that concerns us here. "


"A man whose real name has been lost to us, but it may have been Abdullah Zahr-ad-Dihn, was born in Sana’a in Yemen in the eighth century of the Christian era (that century was, for him, the second of the Hegira). <...> Thereafter his story is more well-known; when he emerged from the desert, he called himself by a new name, which has been misrendered as Abdul Alhazred. This is believed to be a perversion by European scholars in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. “Abdul Alhazred” is not a grammatically or theophorically correct Islamic name; the “al” in Alhazred is redundant to the name Abdul, and Hazred or Hazrad is not among the 99 names of God. A passage in Alfarabi explains the etymology of his true name; Abul Hazrad is derived from zarada, to devour.

What possessed Abdullah Zahr-ad-Dihn to become “the servant of the devourer?” We may consider that the Rûb-al-Khâlie or “empty space” of the Arabian desert is held to be inhabited by the Jnun, the female Djinn, who are spirits of madness and death. In Farsi, the word Jnun also means delirium, maddening love, or especially: terminal madness resulting from the love of a woman. Despite this, Jnun is not compatible with the western definition of madness. A perfect translation eludes us, but its hallmarks are possession, love, and limitless openness to the outside.
When he emerged from the desert, he transcribed the cacophonous droning of the sands into a blasphemous and impious text he called Kitab Al Azif, a term that refers to the nocturnal sounds of insects, and which connotes the screeching and howling of demons. Later, Theodorus Philetas of Constantinople would secretly translate the Azif into Greek under the title Necronomicon,"

Yet atheists and antichrists can't express any of them themselves. They just make these statements but can't prove anything contradicts the Word of God.

The "best" you get from any of them is they read something that God did in the Bible then they ask "how did this happen by purely naturalistic means", which shows one of the major flaws with atheist thinking is that they can't even conceptualize the idea of an eternal God. Or you get some idiotic nonsense about different authors not recording the exact same details they thought were important in the accounts of the gospel. It's like they expect them to plagiarize each other, as if every account of the gospel needs a genealogy back to Adam. And most of the time, they're not even using the Bible but some modernize/catholic/jesuit perversion of it.

The problem with what you're saying is that this reasoning can be applied to every religious text or tradition. Do you have a way to prove that the Shinto creation myth is wrong? Or the Hindu one? What about the Aztec religions? The only way you have to contradict such theories is to base it on the observation of the world around you and how it behaves. The molecule-to-man fairytale, as you call it, is based on observations of reality that anyone can reproduce, and it still remains a theory, not a dogma. However, this theory is the one that allow us to treat diseases and have infinitely lower mortality rates than in the past, proving that these investigations really work and have an objective outcome

Here's your error you Christcuck fucking retard.

>God is Love

1 John 4:8
The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.


>What is Love?

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.


>God is Not Love

>Love is kind
Psalm 137:9 How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your infants against the cliff.

>Love is not jealous
Exodus 20:5 I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God

>Love does not brag
Isaiah 44:7 ‘I am the first, and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me. Who is like Me?

>Love does not seek its own benefit
Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory

>Love is not provoked
Deuteronomy 9:7 Remember, do not forget how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness

>Love does not keep an account of wrong suffered
Revelation 20:12 And the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

>Exodus 20:5

>Isaiah 44:7

Isaiah 43:7
Glory != Benefit, so this isn't even related
>Deuteronomy 9:7
(lol isn't this the book that contradicts like, every other book in the bible? The shitter non-canon stuff?) It does use the word ""provoke"" to be sure, but "righteous punishment for breaking universal laws" isn't provocation. That's talking about anger, not cause and effect.
>Revelation 20:12
Got 'em. This absolutely is "keeping an account of wrong suffered", but fathfags would probably just lean on "righteous rules that are inherent to the universe, and thus things you cannot do" being different from "wrong suffered". You're not "wronging God" you're just "Breaking the Universal Law and thus must be punished".

The hatred of organized religion is because it's not based on real things. People will say "b-b-but religion encourages you to be nice, and that's good and justifies its existence!". The demonstrative scenario I like to give is:
Imagine your dad raised you to believe that ceiling lights were powered by little gnomes in your ceiling. A light burns out one day and you say "Hey Dad, why did the gnomes stop illuminating this one light?" and he says "Well they get bored with light bulbs sometimes, so you just buy them a new one". You do this, replacing the burnt bulb, and now the light works again! Great! The gnomes are appeased! This works for a long time, and on you live comfortably appeasing the gnomes with new bulbs. One day though, a light stops working because of a corroded electrical wire. You replace the bulb and it doesn't start working again. Confused about why the gnomes are so unhappy, you try playing them music, or giving them a different type of bulb. Nothing works and eventually the house burns down due to an electrical fire started by the corroded wiring.

Moral is: It's important to understand the true reason behind why things actually happen. Old guesses, or beliefs, may occasionally, -accidentally-, get you to take a Good Action but if they're founded on untrue beliefs, then all that good is happenstance. Religions have given people a few good moral tools (and dozens more bad ones...) but have done so by sincerely believing in fairytales, which will inevitably stop working because that's not how the universe really works. Free yourself, if not for your own good, then for the good of your children (and their children, and so on).

Have a good day, my dude.

See this chart. The Spirit of God is found throughout the Bible as God, starting in Genesis 1:2 where it says, "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

And in Job 33:4 for example, it says, "The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life."

Psalm 139:7-8
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

Psalm 104:30

Well, the versions that people make outside of the received text have been corrupted, but the process of some people in the world corrupting and warping God's word has been going on since the beginning. People like Marcion made corruptions of large parts of the New Testament, for example, taking the Gospel of Luke and corrupting it significantly. Paul warned against that activity in 2 Corinthians 2:17 (KJV).

No it doesn't. Nothing other than relentless pursuit of the truth is worth it.

"For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."

You are constructing a strawman, but one that demonstrates the futility of these arguments - not only is that -not- what all people who attack religion do, but when this does happen, it is just talking past one another and masturbatory. Just based on how you wrote this, I cannot fathom there would be anything that you cannot do apologetics for or that you'd take issue with. You've already constructed a world wherein all possible "issues" of faith can be removed by connection to elements you don't like or that just "work for you. I'll say there is 0 point in debating religion, but there is very much 0 point in discussing the matter with someone like you. The die is cast.The more interesting line of discussion in faith is philosophical - do we read this literally, do we not, what do we take from this. Religion either works for your brain or it does not; this stupid circular debates you should have dropped in middle school astound me that they still occur. Also, the weird conspiratorial hatred of the Catholic church is also always insanely funny, and I love that this is becoming more and more of a stupid talking point.

For the past decade I've been gradually moving away from Catholicism. However I still think the New Testament is mostly right, and I still believe that there's a God (although I don't think he's the same god from Genesis). All of my favorite people were Catholic; Chesterton, Scotus, Hopkins, Tolkien, etc. I'm leaving this faith with a heavy heart, and I'm not sure how to think about my beliefs anymore because so much of it is grounded in Catholicism. I feel that Klages, Goethe, and the other more 'pagan' Romanticists had the right idea, but all the same it just feels so flimsy compared to the grand Tradition of the Church.

>It is, though
It's really not, though, and that's the whole problem. People make up whatever they want and claim """god""" totally said it! Which they can do, because god isn't real.

Pretty sure that God is loving, but if you reject God then you will not benefit from any aspect of his love.

So, you can accept his sacrifice for you and he won't keep an account of your sins, he won't hate you, and he will accept you into his kingdom forever.

But, if you reject him then you don't get to benefit from any aspect of love. And that's on you, not Him.

>Love does not brag
> Isaiah 44:7 ‘I am the first, and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me. Who is like Me?

It ain't braggin' if it's true.

And so somebody else comes along and elaborates on the verses for him, so the lazy, ignorant fuck doesn't have to do it himself. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why do you always just play along with this bullshit? You're not convincing anyone of anything, you're just doing their work for them so they can find some other retarded way of attacking your faith, because they're too god damn lazy to actually read the books they spend all day whining about online.

I was thinking of that when I made that post. Honestly, I think this is more of an excercise for myself than an honest attempt to change anyone's mind (I mean, this is 4chan, after all).

Reading patronizing comments and bad-faith arguments sometimes gets me to think about things that I might not have considered before. I suppose my response is just a thought exercise.

Still, if it helps anyone else, that's great too.

If you're leaving Catholicism it's probably either because of will or because of intellect. You sound like you like the Church's intellect but you just don't want to commit or believe.

If its corrupt then the muslim literature is even worse considering its based off poor ly remembered stories of the tanakh and the bible, gets countless details wrong like jesus mother miriam and the moon being split on two, countless spelling mistakes, contradicting its own values (god places a veil over the hearts of disbelievers and sends them to hell meaning the choice of belief was never there) and being wrong about about scientific facts.

Muslims cant also ever prove they are corrupt as technically if they read the books they are commiting shirk thus being a corrupting influence and so can be killed under their own religious rules.

>based off poor ly remembered stories
the quran explicitly states that it rectifies and corrects the stories of the bible. Whereas Christian Scripture quotes the Book of Enoch where fallen angels mate with humans

>jesus mother miriam
Can easily be explained by Mary being a descendant of Aaron

>the moon being split on two
Are the miracles of Moses and Jesus also "errors"?

>countless spelling mistakes
Do you even know arabic?

>god places a veil over the hearts of disbelievers and sends them to hell meaning the choice of belief was never there
God explicitly states that their hearts were hardened for their transgressions and prior rejection of the religion

>being wrong about about scientific facts.
the very basis of the scientific method is to assume we are always wrong, and as evidence develops, our scientific views might change. to proudly proclaim "our current scientific paradigm is the only truth" and reject every other view is unscientific

You can still call yourself a catholic if you're a lapsed catholic, it's one of the cool things about being catholic.
I genuinely believe the only way christianity can continue is by outright rejecting evangelism and becoming more like an ethnic religion. Evangelism always leads to cult like dogma and thought-termination and you end up with weird fringe shit like non-denominational churches in the US, African magic nonsense and Korean whatever-the-fucks; all of these institutions do more harm than good to the idea of christianity and the further legitimate churches (Orthodox, Coptic, Roman Catholic) can distance themselves from that the better.

[7]: And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
[8]: And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
[9]: And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
[10]: And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

[16]: And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth-hattaavah.
[17]: And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
[18]: And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
[19]: And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
[20]: And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.
[21]: And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
[22]: And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

[32]: And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
[33]: And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
[34]: And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
[35]: And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.
[36]: And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

Invisible-sky-daddy religions lose again.
Seriously, I can't fathom how people in this day and age still fall for this crap.
It really makes me lose faith in the human race.
