Donna Matrix's Bible Trivia Question O' the Day !!!

[Donna Matrix]

Simon....

I go to Burning Man.... for Christ's sake.....

What makes you think I would ignore a chance to go to some Satanist gathering?

[Simon of the Playa]

can i get some help here, this is exhausting......

i just cant go into a full blown flame right now, i have actual verk to do in mein Verkstatt.

[Box Burner]

I am going with D.

[Donna Matrix]

WE (the infamous WE) are taking over... hoho haha hehe....

To the funny farm...

Where life is beautiful all the time.....

[Donna Matrix]

working on new years day?????

[oneeyeddick]

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I can't believe nobody got this one...Fishy was close, but the word
(and concept) of science is in the New Teastament.

How does Jesus feel about science?

Correct Answer: B (Science is silly, vain and profane, and is at odds with Christianity.)
“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings,
and oppositions of science falsely so calledâ€

[oneeyeddick]

OK, that was interesting, let's stick with the vein we are in.

What is the Lord’s opinion of those who, after critical analysis, opt for a belief structure other than Christianity?

A. They are all anti-Christs!
B. They are evil and will be destroyed by God.
C. They are people you shouldn’t associate with – don’t even invite them into your home.
D. All of the above.

[Nick Collide]

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I can't believe nobody got this one...Fishy was close, but the word
(and concept) of science is in the New Teastament.

Perhaps Fishy was thinking of the scientific method - which did come much later. And back in the day, science and magic were one and the same.

D seems to be the most obvious choice here - but where's the love?

[Donna Matrix]

What translation are you working from?

Cuz mine is "knowledge" in quotes (Living Bible translation).

γνωσεως noun - genitive singular feminine
gnosis gno'-sis: knowing (the act), i.e. (by implication) knowledge -- knowledge, science.

Science would only be by implication... the greek word is "knowledge"

[Donna Matrix]

OK, that was interesting, let's stick with the vein we are in.

What is the Lord’s opinion of those who, after critical analysis, opt for a belief structure other than Christianity?

A. They are all anti-Christs!
B. They are evil and will be destroyed by God.
C. They are people you shouldn’t associate with – don’t even invite them into your home.
D. All of the above.

You are not asking correctly... I think this was Paul yet again. Paul is not Jesus. The Lord = Jesus.... and Paul said a lot of things that Jesus didn't say.

Personally if there is some disagreement or controversy I just stick to what Jesus said. First four gospels.

In this case, Jesus is clear. Following men will not get one into heaven. So, D.

[Donna Matrix]

But it is really a trick question.

We are to be harmless as doves but as wise as eagles (or some other animal, I am not sure which one). Maybe it's owls? Or foxes?

[erri2000]

What is the Lord’s opinion of those who, after critical analysis, opt for a belief structure other than Christianity?

When you state the lord do you mean the Emperor Titus? (I think he was the one that forced Christianity on the world)

And just a thought but with all these people throughout history having "God" telling then things, you think one of them would have got him on tape or something.

Or at least when God appeared as a burning bush or something he would have pointed out a C.D. or something that had his rap on it and don't say they weren't invented yet, because "God can do anything", master of time and space and all that.

And don't give me that "What about the 10 commandments" because if God did write them then why they are in Moses hand writing? Hmmmmmm?

Maybe, just maybe the word "God" is a nothing more than a definition for the answer to all unanswered questions. Maybe we use the word God as an excuse to commit heinous crimes and judge people. Maybe we are all God?

[Donna Matrix]

erri,

the Bible says God is the Creator... it all starts in Genesis... God is also called many different names including Lord.

If one doesn't believe that God is the Creator then nothing else in the Bible makes sense either.

If God didn't create the world and animals and people and such the logical next question is who did, or if there isn't a who then how did all these things come into existence.

[BitterDan]

or if there isn't a who then how did all these things come into existence.

Random, careless chance and change.

[erri2000]

If God didn't create the world and animals and people and such the logical next question is who did, or if there isn't a who then how did all these things come into existence.

I repeat "Maybe, just maybe the word "God" is a nothing more than a definition for the answer to all unanswered questions."

God is not a thing, God does not create things. All things are God.
God creates God and man creates problems.

[Donna Matrix]

or if there isn't a who then how did all these things come into existence.

Random, careless chance and change.

Well then how do you explain science which is law and order...

There is either law and order or chance and chaos - can't have both because they are opposites.

If there is no law or order then why does gravity exist? Or any other natural law?

[Donna Matrix]

If God didn't create the world and animals and people and such the logical next question is who did, or if there isn't a who then how did all these things come into existence.

I repeat "Maybe, just maybe the word "God" is a nothing more than a definition for the answer to all unanswered questions."

God is not a thing, God does not create things. All things are God.
God creates God and man creates problems.

Yes, this is an unanswerable question. We were not there and we can never really know. And you are right... then it is just a matter of belief.

[oneeyeddick]

Now Donna, you of all people should know that any verbage
that is from the New Testament is either the direct Word of God or the
inspired words(or works) of God through his Apostles.
Anything less did not make the cut in the process of Canonicity.


and you asked what version I am using....
King James Version.
Any thing else has been unnecessarily tainted.

[erri2000]

There is either law and order or chance and chaos - can't have both because they are opposites.

I will take chance and chaos opposed to "Judgment" and "Restraint" any day of the week.

[DVD Burner]

Frankly, I don't know that. I've read all the scripture that the Catholic Church decided to throw out. How would I know if they did it right or not? I do not follow any dogma or doctrine so I had to come up with my own rules - if you will - about scripture. I don't follow any "church."

#1 rule: What Jesus says trumps what anybody else says in the NT.

[Donna Matrix]

There is either law and order or chance and chaos - can't have both because they are opposites.

Okay... cool.

But I don't understand what law and order have to do with "judgment" and "restraint"? Could you link that for me.

[DVD Burner]

There is either law and order or chance and chaos - can't have both because they are opposites.

I will take chance and chaos opposed to "Judgment" and "Restraint" any day of the week.

Donna, seriously?? Opposites can't both exist? (I won't touch the bizarre concepts of what kind of "law" god may be thought to lay down for humanity. Anything of worth in the bible generally comes down to merely paying attention to your sense of personal responsibility and ethics/principles.)

Erri's def. on God is not bad: the collection of seemingly unanswerable questions.


As far as the answer to the question - I'll take D for 500 Bob.

Its probably all of the above. Try this for a ref.

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousnous, than haveing known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
But it has happened to them accourding to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire".
Peter 2:21-22
