    Curious as to how christians rationalize the inconsistencies found in their bible.

    Hi there, because the modern man of the twenty-first century actually does not wish to exchange notions of his own culture with the strange culture over metaphysical notions as creation/created, trust of the other who is met for the first time, self-sacrifice -- is it worth it?, virtues of the thankless business which may cause the regress (progress) to financial disaster, and the reason that evil in itself is here and there whether God approves of it or not.

    Is this good, because the world is made by humans around to make friends with our own kind, and this activity self-propogates. We believe that war is to be kept hush-hush about and actually concern to self-satisfy the rationalizers in that they can be impractical for reason of that virtue in business, and be successful instead for speculation. Who said that speculation is impractical?

    Oh well, my two cents worth.

    Oh well; what prompts me? If God exists, he can't be a Non-existence; if within the computer true (human intelligence) thought Exists, it Can be that non-existence.

    I tend to blame Emperor Constantine the most for burying the rest of the Codices with his Helper Monkey "Scribes", the Bible didn't even exist prior to that point.

    Hell they Killed Christ for summing up the whole of the truth into a fortune cookie then buried his words in the sand,,, wtf right!

    All the rest of the writings and Parables were just for the sake of those who could not accept a simple answer.

    "the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you."

    Here is a whole thread of "inconsistencies” that Christians have “rationalized” if you would like to look at it.
    http://www.hipforums.com/forum/topic/338549-the-bible-contradicts-it-self/
    But for the most part a simple perusal of the things considered “inconsistencies” show them to be a misunderstanding of what the Bible is saying.

    this i find somewhat difficult to deal with.

    if one cannot put his reason aside and just "believe", then what does one have to do to know that they are saved? it is hard to trick yourself into believing something that does not logically compute in you brain, and may be dangerous to do so.

    how does one at that point protect themselves against any other type of insane or irrational thoughts or beliefs that might crop up? reason is a good tool to keep yourself sane, by applying logic and reason one can dismiss many otherwise harmful thoughts by asking ones self "is this reasonable, logical? does this make sense?, is it even possible?"

    The universe is made of information and it is itself every bit informed and we are relatively informed in the way of becoming familiar or expanding your relationships with reality. During this expansion we are never less than complete in our knowing and there is no physical barrier to the perception of everything we come to know and you know what you know. It is when you say I believe this or that that you have lost the connection to biofeedback apprehension and you may as well be in outer space because you aren't seeing anything but the course of your own reflections about the reflections programmed into by culture.

    Well for one thing stigmata only appeared on Jesus after he died, you aren’t dead are you? And second I wouldn’t want you to bleed to death or get blood poisoning from open wounds.

    inconsistencies are always flapping in the breeze...for any truth...one must see the foundation or roots of anything right at the beginning of which you may not have been there or have forgotten or were not aware.....

    this right here is an example of rationalization.

    misinterpretation.

    the funny part of this rationalization is that you always have to have the correct interpretation of a very old book written in allegory, and your accusers always have to have the wrong interpretation.
