Are there any here?
Post #1Are there any two "bible believing christians" on this site who's interpretation of the words of the bible are identical?
"Holy Scripture: A book sent down from heaven.... Holy Scriptures contain all that a Christian should know and believe, provided he adds to it a million or so commentaries.
[Voltaire]
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

No, I don't believe there are two identical people in the world. If there were, they couldn't identify us by our DNA or by our fingerprints. Are there any two atheists on here with identical world views?
There, took the bait.

Comprehension seems to be a general problem with theists, but maybe not. Where did you see the claim that people were identical. The question was are there any two people who understand "the word of god" identically? It's the word of god after all.Moses Yoder wrote: No, I don't believe there are two identical people in the world. If there were, they couldn't identify us by our DNA or by our fingerprints.

.
If you can find two identical people then yes they will understand "the word of god" identically. Else they will see it slightly differently. That is just human nature.Allahakbar wrote: Comprehension seems to be a general problem with theists, but maybe not. Where did you see the claim that people were identical.

Well NO, that must be god's nature. Are you saying that this all powerful god is incapable of imparting the same message to more than one person. After all, if everybody believes he says something different, then only ONE of them can be right. Is your god incapable?olavisjo wrote: .If you can find two identical people then yes they will understand "the word of god" identically. Else they will see it slightly differently.

I've never seen that. In fact, if you hold up a banana to any group of believers, no two will ever agree it is a banana. It's human nature, no two people are alike, evidently.
