The question I posed in the thread is why are the Bible accounts of these events dissected, as they are. When no one attacks the unproven theories of the big bang and evolution. Jesus asked the disciples this question *[[Mat 16:15]] KJV* He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? *[[Mat 16:16]] KJV* And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
*[[Mat 16:17]] KJV* And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. *[[Mat 16:18]] KJV* And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. It was the statement Peter made that is the rock, not Peter himself. Not Mary Magdalene or Mary the mother of Jesus either but that Jesus is God in the form of a man.*[[Luk 22:31]] KJV* And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: *[[Luk 22:32]] KJV* But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. On the day of Pentecost when Holy Spirit was given Acts Ch 2 Peter stood up and explained what had happened using old testament prophecys. After his conversion l can relate to this because the same experience happened to me. Before I was totally unaware of Gods plan a second later I understood it. I also know a girl who was a heroin addicted prostitute before she received the Holy Spirit. To look at her today you would have no idea she was once like that. She is a sister in the Lord just as Mary Magdalene is. I believe this world try's to confuse the message of the Bible because it is true, thats my opinion though. You have to make up your own mind. I just thought Harvey Weinstein being involved in this movie was ironic. A person of color is the PC way of saying someone is of African descent. The guy that plays Peter, played the lead role in the movie 12 years a slave. The ancient world wasn't political correct thats why it seems history has to be changed to suit modern thinking. Someone is bound to think these comments are racist and sexist but they are not 'ist' at all. I personally believe we are all equal, this is just an observation and a comment.
