    I used to be a Christian so I like to think I know my hermeneutics.

    That said, this post just goes to show how wildly a simple book can be interpreted. I wasn’t a Seventh Day Adventist. I was a Calvinist.

    It shows just how confident you can be in absolutely nothing.

    When you really look into scripture, you come to realize it’s a book filled with words with no real truth outside of some dudes wrote it.

        God also told me that you’re going to hell for being a Seventh Day Adventist. He inspired me to write it down and everything.

        So you got that going for you.

        Not really, God told those dudes what to write

        I see. So you have an explanation of why God changes his mind about the details, why there are so many variants in the texts, and why some random Letters, Epistles, and Gospels are missing? If God choosr to write a book why is he so bad at the task?
