You support abortion, no?

No.

I am deeply conflicted by the abortion issue. I am not in favor of it nor do I oppose it.

Another solid answer from NoIntegrity.
God will help you resolve your deep conflict.

Abortion is the killing of human life. It is wrong; it is immoral. Those guilty of murder who do not repent from their sin are included in the list of those who "shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone" (Rev. 21:8).

Only proves of the confusion that established religion can communicate according to what they want you and you want to believe. You seem to be very susceptible to this Browny.

It would be more likely that the incongruities are just unintentional or intentional mistakes or misquotes based upon or the result the manner in which the Bible was, authored, complied, and then selected.

As all written code, law, or religious writing it reveals our need for God and apart from God’s revelation personally and individually to those who believe the written code, law, and or religious is impotent.

The prideful will judge.

There is no confusion in the judgements God has made in His word. You're willfully confused.
Even when you reject what is written with all the excuses you can conjure up, it does not change what's written.

Where is that faith that's been whispered into your conscience? You don't believe that God is powerful enough and that he didn't make sure and make a way to see that we would have an accurate and complete revelation of His will for us?
He made us. You think he would leave us with no instruction about how to live, how to please him, how to get to heaven?
Not me, pal. You keep spouting sweet nothings and claiming the divine revelation is "just" a book.

The fool despises instruction -Prov. 15:5

The ignorant remains ignorant.

It’s very simple to him. If He doesn’t agree with certain scriptures he doesn’t feel it’s gods word so it doesn’t matter to him.

A dangerous ideology, but I think that’s what he believes

I think that's close.
There's plenty of things in scripture I don't like and wish was not there. But, the deal is we submit to his will, not ours.
Pretty convenient to reject scriptures you don't like and claim the reason is because it's not God's word. Talk about proud.

If I could rip out every page of the Bible that I didn’t like, it would be a pretty thin book!

 

[BrownFlush]

If you call someone a fool you have murdered them in your heart.

How so?

I would comment and put in my 10 cents worth, but what NoIntegrity said is not in the Bible.

 

[vantexan]

How is surrendering my complete self, all that I was, I am, and ever hope to be to God alone pride?

He is the great reality behind all of reality.

Sin is sin. Jesus teaches that.

Racism is sin.

No, I don’t think it’s that simple but I understand your point.

Anything that lacks love it is not of God, anything in the Bible that lacks radical love is not of God. God is love.

I believe these flaws in the human writers are exposed in the Bible so we can learn and relate through the limitations of the human writers and thus realize we need God Himself, not just a book about Him.

Most humanity , including many believers and non believers find the radical love of God offensive.

Have you experienced the radical love of God in practical experience?

With God I believe anything is possible but I believe th book is meant to point to the unseen Kingdom of God, not to itself. I personally will not diefy the Bible.

Jesus has all authority, not the Bible. The book even agrees.

I'm right there with you.

It's been done with a knife...
and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. -Jeremiah 36: 22-23

It's becoming clearer why you claim direct revelation. You have no reading comprehension.

 

[Thebrownblob]

I would say you don’t like much in the Bible, that is the reason you can simply ignore it and dismiss it, because My “flesh” certainly would not feel comfortable with what the Bible says, because his ways are not my ways. If the things in this book, do not make you uncomfortable then you’re very comfortable sinning and may have been given over to a reprobate mind. That is why I’m learning to walk in his way. I’m not boastful enough to believe that the book he inspired should be ignored by me.

Make no mistake. It would be much easier if everyone could ignore the parts of the Bible. They don’t like and pretend everything is fine. As I’ve said before, I think that is a dangerous proposition and may lead you down a path away from what you say you seek

Much like when I was sick as a child and my mom gave me medicine. It was what was good for me, even though it wasn’t necessarily what I liked.

I only have problems with the statements or teachings in the Bible that are not of God, but of religion. Every word that Holy Spirit teaches me is from God should be and is exalted by me.

God is love.

God so loves the world! He doesn’t hate it!

A little boastful for you to believe you would understand which ones are not “of God”. But you do you.

For someone such as yourself, who says you’re all about love you certainly do judge other peoples opinions on the Bible and even condemn them for what you feel is not showing love.

I think by doing that you’re doing exactly the opposite of what you say you are trying to accomplish you’re not showing love at all. If you feel it is up to the person to listen to what you say is the Holy Spirit then you should understand the Holy spirit would tell them something different than what you believe since the Bible isn’t the reference you use to judge the Holy Spirit. You’re very intolerant of those people. At least you are in your writings here.
