And I thought we had a free will in this world according to your theories, rejoice. How can you rhyme this with god crushing us? Let's hope he doesn't do this again. I don't like to swim.

I am a born-Christian(third generation), who holds onto the same faith by choice and faith in Christ Jesus the Lord.
To make it simple, I'm a born-again Christian having Evangelical Background. Like many of my fellow Christians I'm jealous for His Kingdom. 8)
"Without God life is incomplete".............

With regards to the NT, all of what you said runs counter to the evidence....acheological and historical evidence support the historicity of the NT countless times better than they support anything on Julius Ceasar..or anyone else, for example.
With regards to the OT, things like the dead sea scrolls are available
That gives us at least some evidence that 'i know that just about eveyrthing in the catholic bible isnt true' is a completely unfounded position.
I can back this position up - ive written a few things up on my website under articles, but im not going to dilute this board by writing a lengthly response here.

I believe that everything in the bible is true. I think the word you were thinking of is parable, and that is really only relevant when Jesus tells a parable, and thats only in the new testament... and in response to the questions about free will and the flood, God decided that he would warn the people to repent, and that they were to watch Methusaleh, because when methusalah died, the flood would come. Noah preached for hundreds of years and noone listened; Methuselah is the oldest man ever, he was 900 something when he died, this shows God's mercy, they were a wicked and sinful world, and so God warned them and told them to repent or else... but they did not listen. and we do have a free will, that is how God created us: it's a simple choice really, we can live our lives for as long as we live in sin, doing what we want, or we can repent and try to follow him and we will be granted everlasting life and sinlessness... if we didnt have free will we would all be sinless and live forever, but we would just be drones, not thinking ourselves, with no choice." The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 6:23 if we sin we do not deserve to live, but god has given us a lifetime so that we can choose, but once we die, it's too late, and we've either chosen to obey him or chosen death. It's like an amazing sports car thats pointed at a cliff.. we can take a ride in it and it could be the best ride anyones ever had, wed look cool and the car would be really fast, but once we start the car we know we'd have to go over the cliff, thats the price for it.
