He love to debate me about what God REALLY means. And he is always right because he STUDIED the bible and what it REALLY means.
When I bring up that men wrote the bible his argument is the same as above: God wrote through those men.
When I mention the parts left out or edited his answer is the same as above: God worked through those men.
When I question the inconsistencies and just awful things left in the bible...well, you get the point.
See HE knows what God and the bible really means because HE studied it.
My suggestion that any teacher other than God is still just teaching him a personal interpretation is scoffed at.
In the end I told him the only way to know which one of us is right is when we die.
the only way to know what God really wants is to really know God. just like any relationship.
