For Christ's sake (pun intended) will y'all get some sense, the Bible it is a book, in fact Bible is a corruption of the Greek word for book. No one knows who wrote it, it has been interpreted and reinterpreted many times over and edited and redacted countless times. So, even if we knew who wrote it, we will never know what it stated in its original format. Anyone could write a book (with some exceptions) and regardless of its contents anyone could read it and say this is the word of God. Why d'ye think all these holy joes put so much emphasis on faith? God forbid that someone should use logic and question the Biles veracity.
...they say Lucifer knows the Holy Bible. More than anyone outside of God/Jesus(same). But,then again,mental illness often. Is "lumped in" with stupidity. Stand for what YOU believe. Put NO TRUST in men,ever. Merry Christmas!
Find Christmas Easter Halloween where Jesus said it's ok to follow other teachers. The Tomb 57-61 Late in the afternoon a wealthy man from Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus, arrived. His name was Joseph. He went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate granted his request. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linens, put it in his own tomb, a new tomb only recently cut into the rock, and rolled a large stone across the entrance. Then he went off. But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary stayed, sitting in plain view of the tomb.
62-64 After sundown, the high priests and Pharisees arranged a meeting with Pilate. They said, "Sir, we just remembered that that liar announced while he was still alive, 'After three days I will be raised.' We've got to get that tomb sealed until the third day. There's a good chance his disciples will come and steal the corpse and then go around saying, 'He's risen from the dead.' Then we'll be worse off than before, the final deceit surpassing the first."
65-66 Pilate told them, "You will have a guard. Go ahead and secure it the best you can." So they went out and secured the tomb, sealing the stone and posting guards.
That's what Christians believe, but only 'cause that's what the Bible says.
Matthew 28 verse 1 is paraphrased in "The Message" as: "After the Sabbath, as the first light of the new week dawned, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to keep vigil at the tomb."
Luke 24 verse 1 is paraphrased in "The Message" as: " At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared."
Mark 16 stars off like this (as paraphrased in "The Message": When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm him. Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb.
"The Message" even starts John 20 off like this: "Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone was moved away from the entrance."
Seems like the Forksters don't agree with the Bible. Or, at least our representative Forkster has issues with what is written.
Do you really think Mary would Go to the tomb on the FIRST DAY when JESUS said
Matthew 12:40 states, "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".
Mark 16:9-20 is not in some early manuscripts of the Bible because older manuscripts are generally considered more accurate and closer to the original autographs. Two of the oldest and most respected manuscripts, the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, end at Mark 16:8, and most scholars agree that verses 9-20 are a later addition. Some other reasons why Mark 16:9-20 might not have been in early manuscripts include:
Saying that Forky "stands up for Jesus" is like saying that an adult film actress stands up for chastity.
Instead the Forsters lie about what Jesus said. They accuse the true Jesus followers. Why, Forky even claims that the Bible ain't true. Ask him about Mark 16:9.
So saith Mikey, a professed disciple of Jesus who worships (along with Putin and Kim Jung Un) one of the most evil people in the world. C'mon Mikey who's it gonna be, God or Mammon?
You've got a choice, The Lord in Heaven or the orange idol?
If you give the Devil some barbeque sauce he might take it easy on you &&&&&& My choice is GOD I don't chase after riches... My Faith are on Jesus and his Resurrection. I'll stand up for Jesus not religion. Something everyone should do.

You got the same choices as I have. Let Christianity be your guide or Jesus. I choose Jesus because Jesus was sent from the Father to explain what God have us to know and how to receive ETERNAL LIFE. Read the BIBLE. Stop trusting in religion.
Amen Forky! You tell them Forksters exactly what they're doing wrong. You've got my support!
Oh, wait, you are trying to twist Jesus's words to put down Christians ain't you? <Pause for big laughs!>
Let's see, what were Jesus so upset with the "Pharisees" about? Weren't it they was making rules that weren't to be found in the Bible? That sounds a lot like them Forksters what say folks can't work on the Sabbath and go so far as to claim that "Jesus said to keep the Sabbath" when it ain't true.

Then, you quote from The Message "You refuse to enter, and won't let anyone else in either." A quick count of the last month's postings on GoWIlkes shows that Forky has posted over 20 new topics attacking Christians while Christians have posted 0 new topics attacking Forksters.

You go on to quote The Message as saying "Do you have any idea how willy you look, writing a life story that's wrong from start to finish, nitpicking over commas and semicolons?" That reminds me of a certain Forky (don't it you?) We all know the Bible says that Jesus was raised from the dead on Sunday (Mark 16:9) the Forksters scream that somewhere along the line some scribe misplaced a comma or they ignore the verse and start preaching "three days, three nights!"

My Uncle Jimbo always did say that when you pointed a finger at others there were three pointed right back at 'ya.
You only have one way to get back to the Father and that is through Jesus. So if you think religion is going to keep you from the LAKE OF FIRE you will loose. If you Trust in religion instead of Jesus just remember Jesus died so you could live.
13 "I've had it with you! You're hopeless, you religion scholars, you Pharisees! Frauds! Your lives are roadblocks to God's kingdom. You refuse to enter, and won't let anyone else in either.
15 "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You go halfway around the world to make a convert, but once you get him you make him into a replica of yourselves, double-****ed.
16-22 "You're hopeless! What arrogant stupidity! You say, 'If someone makes a promise with his fingers crossed, that's nothing; but if he swears with his hand on the Bible, that's serious.' What ignorance! Does the leather on the Bible carry more weight than the skin on your hands? And what about this piece of trivia: 'If you shake hands on a promise, that's nothing; but if you raise your hand that God is your witness, that's serious'? What ridiculous hairsplitting! What difference does it make whether you shake hands or raise hands? A promise is a promise. What difference does it make if you make your promise inside or outside a house of worship? A promise is a promise. God is present, watching and holding you to account regardless.
23-24 "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God's Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment-the absolute basics!-you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required. Do you have any idea how silly you look, writing a life story that's wrong from start to finish, nitpicking over commas and semicolons?
25-26 "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You buff the surface of your cups and bowls so they sparkle in the sun, while the insides are maggoty with your greed and gluttony. Stupid Pharisee! Scour the insides, and then the gleaming surface will mean something.
27-28 "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You're like manicured grave plots, grass clipped and the flowers bright, but six feet down it's all rotting bones and worm-eaten flesh. People look at you and think you're saints, but beneath the skin you're total frauds.
29-32 "You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You build granite tombs for your prophets and marble monuments for your saints. And you say that if you had lived in the days of your ancestors, no blood would have been on your hands. You protest too much! You're cut from the same cloth as those murderers, and daily add to the death count.
33-34 "Snakes! Cold-blooded sneaks! Do you think you can worm your way out of this? Never have to pay the piper? It's on account of people like you that I send prophets and wise guides and scholars generation after generation-and generation after generation you treat them like dirt, greeting them with lynch mobs, hounding them with abuse.
35-36 "You can't squirm out of this: Every drop of righteous blood ever spilled on this earth, beginning with the blood of that good man Abel right down to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered at his prayers, is on your head. All this, I'm telling you, is coming down on you, on your generation.
37-39 "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Murderer of prophets! Killer of the ones who brought you God's news! How often I've ached to embrace your children, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you wouldn't let me. And now you're so desolate, nothing but a ghost town. What is there left to say? Only this: I'm out of here soon. The next time you see me you'll say, 'Oh, God has blessed him! He's come, bringing God's rule!'"
