Both the Hindu Rigveda and The Buddhist Diamond Sutra were written and followed still today centuries before the Bible. Check them out.

Your point is?

There's more than just the bible out there...

Bingo

<----- slowly backs out of the room I know better than to come into religion chats

There is only one god

thats debatable you know I luv you (((lastman))) enough to not debate religion with you

Right behind you......

Good luck with that

that is really the point, no one people have ownership of God even if the books they wrote say he said so.

And who pray tell is that? yours? I already addressed this. To say that he is yours alone, you and your religious tribe is to say God can be owned or possessed. do you honesty believe that?

I don't think he's saying God is possessed... I think they're saying that there is only 1 God, and only 1 way to that God (heaven) which is thru Jesus Christ. Not saying I agree with this... it's just what I think they're getting at.

And god sayeth to Jesus, you goeth down there and tell those heathens its my way or the highway.

Now when I send thee down there dont dilly dally around, ill give you say 20-30 years to do your thing then if they dont all know your name from here unto eternity then let them be sent down to hell FOREVER MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.Screw those islanders, and aborigines and natives for the next few thousand years, they dont need heaven. I mean they are not the choosen people, I love you Mediterranean people with your deserts and stuff.

your right he is just saying his word is the right word. His way is the right way. When I read that statement I can pretty much assume this is the line of reaction to this post.

"What there are texts that I have never nor will ever read that where written before the Bible? . . well they have to be wrong . . . not written by god . . . and heathen crap . . . ."

Are you attempting to imply here sir that NO other people throughout the world have a Creation Mythology? It is not limited to the Christian bible. That is merely the Christian version of events. Show me the evidence to substantiate the claim that the bible is in some respect more credible or valid than that of ANY other Creation Mythology found the world over. If you want to know the truth, its one of the more ridiculous ones. Virgin births...pfft.

Yeah, but which one?

If there really is only 1 God, and 1 way to him... then I have chosen the wrong path by accepting people and respecting their ways rather than bash them and tell them they're wrong. If believed in hell, surely I would rot in it
