Cajunrambler | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 03:49 pm     Actually Puzzled, you left out the rest of verse 17. Jesus called the sinners "to repentance". |
Maris | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Quote: So I guess if us sinners are good enough to sit with Jesus, we are good enough to call ourselves (if we wish to) Christians. Unquote Yeah, but are you good enough to hang with Nate? |
Queenfish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:02 pm     LOL Maris, good one |
Puttergirl | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:07 pm     I'm Jewish. Here's an interesting question- is it a new or old testament in the house? If BB provides it, do they try to provide both? Was there an old testament there last year when we had a Jewish house guest? |
Maris | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:11 pm     I thought the old and the new testament were part of the bible. Doesnt a bible have both? I dont think I have seen a bible since I was a little kid so I honestly dont know the answer to this. |
Cajunrambler | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Well Puttergirl, since they quoted from 1 Timothy 6:10 (New Testament) as well as the Psalms (Old Testament), one can conclude that the Bible they are using contains both Old and New Testaments. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:15 pm     Maris said, "Yeah, but are you good enough to hang with Nate?" LOL! I look at it this way...is Nate good enough to hang with me. |
Gidget | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Thank you again Queenfish. I think you misunderstood me. RCs do not use the King James Bible. I did check mine, however and read 1 Corinthians 5. It did make your point. As an RC I realize the Church would probably not exist as it does today with Paul. But my tolerance for him is limited. I choose not to say exactly what I think of Paul as this is not the proper forum. But, yes, you did prove your point. I hope my soul is safe. But I'm sure that there are those who would question us even watching programming such as BB |
Puzzled | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:35 pm     Cajun, that's not in Mk 2:17 in my Bible--the NRSV |
Puzzled | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:38 pm     Yeah, but are you good enough to hang with Nate? LOL! The Bible contains both testaments, and the first five books are the Torah. |
Tishala | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:46 pm     I'm going to start wearing my WWND bracelet..."what would Nathan do?" |
Bluerose | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Having been raised in a Bible oriented household and witnessing for most of my life the good book being used to attact people who have differant views or religions, any use of the bible in a public forum usally disgusts me, to the point I turned Roman Catholic right after high school . This of course caused major concern for my salvation amungst my family but they got over it as the years passed. I wish they would not have had the bible feature in Friday's show. I felt it was not nesseary. Jmo. |
Cropcircles | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 05:01 pm     Tishala- That is to funny! Maybe we should all make bracelets and wear them for the shows! |
Lurknomore | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 05:35 pm     I don't know about this year, but in the past everyone was told they could only bring in one book and it had to be religious/spiritual. That's why, hmmmmm, forget who brought it, but there was a Buddist book a year or so ago. I don't know if Nate is the only one who felt a need to bring in a bible, but it does appear to be his own from how he's treated it (and how everyone says "Nate's Bible). |
Starr | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 05:50 pm     I think it was Kent that brought the Buddist book |
Diacritical | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 07:56 pm     I would prefer that no books be allowed. They distract from the tedium and allow the HGs to withdraw from each other. Personally, I do not have a problem with Ali and Nate's use of the scriptures. They had Jun searching for a psalm the other day and it was priceless. That said, I was thinking about what book I would bring were I ever on the show and settled on the BCP. How would the other HGs react to Rite 1 Morning Prayer?  |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Queenfish, I agree about people who profess to be Christians, but I also think it isn't up to any of us to judge who is or isn't a Christian. Plus, the Bible is open to interpretation. Thus, the many sects of the Christian religion. As to having a Bible in the house, I think it's a good idea. But, they should also bring in books from other religions, such as the Koran (as pointed out above), etc... |
Jiggyjosh | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:22 pm     I'm sure the Koran will be brought in when they have a Muslim houseguest. As a Roman Catholic I wouldn't have much need for a Koran as I'm sure most Christians don't. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Jiggy, there was an atheist in the house last year. |
Spudluvr | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:29 pm     Twiggy, the houseguests bring their own. Nathan has said it was his bible. I am sure a Koran will arrive when a muslim or someone who is studying it brings one. |
Foliage | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:30 pm     If I were on BB (no way, with this cellulite!) I would bring whatever book was allowed just to have something to read. Just think if someone brought the Bible, another the Koran, Book of Mormon, etc. we could all expand our horizons and have wonderful discussions on comparative religions.......not gonna happen |
Cinder | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:32 pm     Someone else did bring a different religious book one time. It was either BB2 or BB3- but I can't remember what it was. (Or am I delusional?) |
Twiggyish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:34 pm     I agree Foliage. It would expand horizons. (If people brought in other books) ..just saying. |
Maris | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 08:36 pm     I would bring that Scientology book so I could find out what the heck it is about. I would read ten pages a day and it would give me something to do each day. |
