These verses: “Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God.” (2 Peter 20-21 NAB)
These two verses are staggering in exposing Christian hypocrisy. The buck stops with the God concept.

Another good question to ask a Christian: "What is your methodology for determining what in the Bible is literal, allegory, metaphor or just simply a lie?" I have yet to get an answer, because there isn't one. Cherry-picking at its worst. If a Christian claims that Adam, Eve and the talking snake were just allegory, then what is to keep me from saying the same about John 3:16?
What's so terrible about those verses?

Are you serious?
@brentan These verses, taken literally, and the verses state that they must be, totally pulls out the rug on apologetics. They state that all verses are divinely inspired and must be taken literally. The verses are horrific and explain things like the recent shootings, snake handlings and the fundamentlist religious cancer that is destroying free-thought and fomenting hatred and intolerance. Serious, dude, if you are trolling me, fuck off. If you are not and really believe this garbage, then fuck off twice.
You've gone off on a tangent. I was willing to discuss the two verses. You told me to fuck off. I said I would.

Posted by CliffordCookChristian Nationalists like to insist that the United States of America is a Christian nation. What do the facts show?

Posted by CliffordCookIf the Christian Bible is such a great book, how come most Christians can’t bring themselves to read it all the way through even once?
Posted by CliffordCookIf Christians really believe in a god that is all powerful and will provide for all their needs, why do they keep on demanding taxpayer support for their struggling religious schools?
Posted by CliffordCookI groaned when I saw this Christian Nationalist Christmas meme posted by one of Donald Trump's supporters in Iowa. Then, I smiled when I saw how many of his Facebook friends had reposted it.
