Pletho, is the Bible the Word of God, or isn't it? How did the Bible come into existence in it's current configuration?

You are off my grid, as Phil Helmuth puts it:

I can understand why you don't want to answer. That would lead to issues you can't explain.

You're scared. That's cool. Most cult leaders refuse to be questioned.

Either believe me, or "you're off my grid", right?

audio file is pretty awesome so far, "how many jesuses were there in the bible?"

i expected more of a tuff_fish type voice

Whats a tuff_fish like voice sound like?

Pletho, what's the name of the preacher in the audio files? I'd like to google him.

So far my record regarding explanations is about 99/100. So believe me your not off my grid for my lack of ability to explain, I think you are off my grid because of you.........

If someone tried to teach me the word who sounded like that I think I would refuse to listen....

I am not sure how many people are listening to the audio but s backed up to the point that I cannot even listen to it myself....

You believe the Bible is the Word of God.
You do not believe Jesus is God.

These two points are irreconcilable based on every Christian's interpretation of the Bible since the Council of Niceae.

Please explain.

You have one thing right, the Jesus is God thing definatley began to be pushed hard and propounded during that time...

I do believe the bible is the word of God. Not because some council said so, but because the word itself says so.

Do you believe there are other gospels and epistles of that era that are also the Word of God, but were for one reason or another left out of the "official" canon?

Epistle of Barnabas
Gospel of Peter
Gospel of Thomas
Acts of Paul

Just to name a few.

It is amusing to see Pletho ignore your rational questions. I've enjoyed your complete and total pwnage of him. I wasn't sure he could look goofier until now. Backed into a corner, he just ignores your posts. Its the forum equivalent of walking away with his tail between his legs. In this respect, he's no different then Splendour who, when she can't answer a reasonable question is 'not interested in debating' and runs away.

Well played.

The sheer depth of Pletho's psychosis and narcissism is truly fascinating.

He can respond if he wants, or ignore if he wants. I don't mind.

Anything he is willing to write gives us all a little more insight into the strange and twisted world of Pletho. He's an interesting study, that's for sure.

"Christian" literally means "little Christ" so if Pletho's argument in OP is for real, the whole term for believing is blasphemous

I wonder if it gives Christian posters on this forum pause that it's hard to tell whether Pletho is a gimmick account or not?

Probably not.

Poe's law for the win.

some people in this thread are smoking some good ****.

i think that pletho is a bot and not a real person.

Wow.

While I'm quite certain that every regular Christian on this forum would not hesitate to distance themselves from Pletho, the question you raise is absolutely fascinating.

What is the line between faith, and psychosis?

to quote a friend of mine (not sure if he originated it), "genius often breeds psychosis, but rarely the other way around"

That's actually quite a profound quote, fury, if you think about it in terms of Pletho.

Either Pletho is a genius, whose own intelligence caused him to fall into a pit of psychotic fantasy

or,

Pletho is a ****** whose narcissism doesn't understand the difference.

Should we flip a coin, or what?

I am ignoring your questions ONLY because you do not believe and you do not want to believe. YOu think you have it all figured out already. You think that no matter what I say I am wrong and you are right.

So whats the point, I really do not care to debate in the first place. I know for a fact that what I am talking about is 100% true. I do not need to prove it, all I need to do is speak it and let those who believe believe and those who do not, not.

Your questions are very juvenile in underastanding, you know already know what ou are looing to hear and if you hear it you are happy because then you have another great question to follow and if you do not get the answere YOU are looking for then I am wrong, because you know it all, I forgot. But for some strange reason a man who knows it all DOES NOT BELIEVE, all I can say is that which you think is the truth in your mind IS NOT THE REAL TRUTH, and it is in the way of you really understanding and recieveing the truth. Either way from my point of view IF you are ever going to recieve the truth it will not be from me, because of your lack of respect.

So with that being said I will leave you and keep you out of my zone, meaning a non respond TAG pops up when you post a question to me.

If you all think I am not answering because I cannot and do not have the answers well, you think you are right anyways so think on....................no big deal to me. I have no problem being set apart from you all, because in all actuallity I am way apart from all of you, except the Christians on this forum, we are close because we are spiritual family, even if we disagree, we are still bonded together by the spirit.........

I am officially pulling hairs out of my head.

You CANNOT be a real person. It's just impossible

You cant believe that a person can be so confident and bold is really the problem...

I have the truth and know I have the truth. I will not back off of it at anytime whatsoever.

Thats what baffles so many of you.....I make statements like you all think you know the truth, but don't...all the while I am making the same statement.

The difference between me and you all is "I am not lying and I do have the truth".

Would a person who knows the truth tell a lie and say they do not know the truth? What good would that do?

I choose to take the hard road and stand alone by saying I have the truth and am willing to share it with those who want to hear truth. And for those who don't, well, you will hear it anyway, since you have never heard truth before it will be good for your minds, to shake you up a bit.
