I'm not sure how many of you folks have read through the Gospels in the Bible and have been perplexed by this, but I'd be interested in what you think about this tidbit I put together:
What's Up With Mark 16?

I thought I'd create a new thread for the videos on YouTube I've been making of my own observations while reading through the Bible this year. I'm going through a reading plan which will take me through the Old Testament once, and New Testament twice this year. I would love any comments or thoughts.

Hey, ReligionFreeDeist approved my video response to Re: Does the Bible Endorse Slavery? I wholeheartedly recommend his videos. He really knows what he's talking about, particularly when it comes to the New Testament. While he was a Christian, he actually learned Greek in order to better study the NT. My favorite videos of his are Nazareth in Judea? and Re: Brief Bible Blunders Episode #6.

Paul is at the root of most of the problems I have with modern Christianity. While I admire some of the things he had to say, I think he missed the point a lot.Quoting chrisnu (view post)
It's funny how so many Christians are anti-homosexual because of Paul, and yet they don't expect women to wear head scarfs or to remain quiet in Church. Also, how many Christian men have had sex with their wives while they're on their period? That, too, is condemned by Paul.
Christians sure do base a lot of their religious practice on Paul - why? He was just a man like you and I.
Many Christians go off the presupposition that all canonical scripture is equally inspired by God. The proof-text given for this is usually 2 Timothy 3:16-17, a Pauline epistle (although some scholars do not believe he wrote 2 Timothy). However, even those who believe that we're in a "new covenant" (an idea which appears in Paul's writings, particularly 2 Corinthians) pick and choose which Christian scriptures to put into practice. The only group entirely consistent in upholding them all, I believe, is the Orthodox Church.Quoting Daniel Davis (view post)

Have I only ever seen links to these on MatchCut? I feel like I've seen links to these videos elsewhere.
I honestly had no idea it was you, Chrisnu.

I've posted links on Icine, but that's it. Anything else must be the Internet working its magic.Quoting megladon8 (view post)

I guess I kind of expected you to look a little more like Billy Bob Thornton.
My mind works in weird ways like that.
And for your information, I actually am a purple skull beast.

Can I put in a request for Balaam and the Donkey? Because I'm curious regarding your thoughts on talking donkeys.

Yes, ma'am.Quoting Mara (view post)

A more interesting, challenging idea might be to go through the Bible to find the parts that are actually worth listening to...
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
I enjoyed watching your cat in the background.
