The bible cannot be taken verbatum word for word in it's entirety, Words have more than one meaning, context matters and there is use of metaphor and symbolism in the bible as well. Many of your comments have been wrong, and you clearly have little understanding of basic concepts of Christianity. 20 hours ago, CdnFox said: Simple fact. well established and commonly believed.

You say I didn't explain what I meant when I say the bible can't be taken verbatim yet for four times I've said here's an example and you ignore that as if I've never said anything You're too emotional and too stupid for this conversation kid. It's really disappointing to see. All of this is faked up in your head The bible cannot be taken verbatim, have given a number of examples. Most words have more than one possible meeting and you cannot insist that there is one meaning to the word as you do And sorry but most people out there agree with me. I gave the classic example of the world being created in 6 days, and you still haven't been able to refute that.

I know I'm way off topic here but there are a number of interesting examples of bible passages that were once considered metaphorical (contextual or whatever) that have now taken on more of a "verbatim" flavour as time passes. I sometimes wonder if it might represent a trend in the form of events that only reveal the possibility of literal interpretation within the context of a time frame that logically would have never otherwise been anticipated at the time of writing. From that perspective, it's the apocalyptic style of writing I find most interesting... things like unexpected geopolitical alignments with a previous (and quite rational) "that would never happen so it must be metaphorical" flavour. The developing and future demographic concentration of Muslims in Germany and Germany's future relationship with Israel is a for instance. In another generation or two, Muslims may be the ethnic majority... who'd have thought that would happen even 50 years ago. Another is the push toward digital IDs and the idea of fusing all elements of personal data into a unique APP with biometric markers and an individualized (unique) ID number for everyone. If / when that happens, security breaches will take on an entirely new dimension and the potential harm of any breach will be magnified significantly. That might just pave the way for imbedded (personal) ID chips as the only solution to fraud. Imagine it now in the context of a series of Revelations passages that could never have been taken literally at any other moment in time but ours. Things like the number of the beast and that "no one could buy or sell." We are quickly nearing that for travel purposes right now and that seems like a logical first implementation step to me... essentially limiting mobility in a world that is increasingly a global village. The unique ID number concept feeds into it too, it would have to be about 18 digits to cover everyone which could easily be seen as a grouping of three six figure alpha numerics... "the number of a man and that number is 666." Anyway, just a few thoughts on the subject... it's likely to happen so slowly (but progressively) that unless someone were specifically looking for individual elements of metaphor morphing into modern day reality (especially from the point of view of someone from 2000 years ago) you would completely miss it. Now...how's all that for a conspiracy theory eh? Edited November 20, 2025 by Venandi 1 Quote

Now...how's all that for a conspiracy theory eh? LOL well this argument was made hardcore iaround ww2 as well. And i do enjoy it, and there's some possible validity to it as well that the bible, especially those parts that address future events, will only make true sense in the time to come which they refer to. But my problem with that again is that people tend to "interpret" it in such a way so as to fit it into their circumstances or narrative of the time. Honestly, i had this conversation with my dad when i was a kid and he pointed out then how many passages seemed to refer to things tha were happening in that day and age, how 'spears of fire' that could destroy mankind might well refer to icbm's and how would the writers have known and such. There was a HUGE following in ww2 that felt the rise of germany and the wars were practically identical to what the bible and thus the end was neigh. Who knows, it might very well be when those days come and the end is here we might look at the passages and look at the world and say "ahhhhhh i get it now, it's perfect' but it won't be the first time people have thought that. Which doesn't make it any less valid if it's true at the time. I mean if god's entire intent was clarity you'd think he'd say "June 5 20xx at 4:35 pm". So obviously he doesn't want us to figure it out TOO easily But no matter what because the bible is written in human language and because human words often have multiple meanings or connotations, it's not really possible to take the bible TOO literally one way or another. but yeah, I love the idea but at the end of days will be able to read the bible and look back and it'll be like the the last episode of lost where it's like okay, it all makes sense now 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...
