[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 90248"] Honestly not trying to sound smug, but when one studies ancient literature you see how they relate things quite differently than we do today. Also, this is a translation from ancient hebrew. I'm not sure what the origional word would have been, but the problem with the english bible is that it is a translation of a translation of a translation, and as the saying goes stuff gets lost in the translation. Most theologians (those who study God and relgion) have to take greek and hebrew courses so they can then fully study the bible. That's your opinion. To me that voice isn't God at all, it's me. I would hate to think I'm not in control of my own life, which if everything is contolled by one all powerful being then technically I'm not. [/b][/quote] Again...free will. Technically you are in control. The issue is not control, but the fact that you are faced with absolutes. Live according to the bible, go to heaven...live outside of it, go to hell. So the element of getting off without consequence for your decisions is absent. [/QUOTE]
