Some argue that it mediates salvation.

Welcome to sciforums! :)

What do you mean by "continuation thread"...?

Well... yes... it mediates what is called salvation.
It actually helps you to rediscover yourself, to remember who you really are...

You can also read the Proverbs and see the principles of the Bible... :)

Nelson,
Here we meet again, on the same subject. HaHa..
This is not only a reply for you.. but for others..
My opinion on the whole.. "what is the bible really for" question... I think the whole thing is a shield for people. You don't know how to deal with it, so you sit down with something you have tricked your mind into thinking you need.
My grandfather died a few years back ... and I had been walking with an older couple.. Never really had a problem with there religion, until they tried to shove it on me. When a person dies people are effected. That does not mean they need to start going to church on Sunday.. Or that "God had his reasons".
By saying this I might come off as bitter, an in your case you might tell me that I am just mad at him.
Anyway, this has gotten out of hand.. I still stand by my opinion.

The Bible is just a mirror...

469.Origami.

I personally find this one hard... the Bible is too thick to do origami...

Besides that... it's a sin...

Love,
Nelson

I like oragami and there are those silk paper bibles ;)

Silk paper Bibles...?

yes, haven't you seen?

oragami are so elegant...I can't make thm:( unfortunately

No I never seen them...
I'm not good at them either... It seems that the Bible can't be used as origami for you...

I respect every written book tht has a value and bible certainly does....only my interpretation of it's value I can quess is differen't thn yours .
Cheers!

I respect too...
But I also respect Taoist Philosophy about material things... ;)

If origami is a sin, are all the Japanese going to hell?

And I wouldn't use it for rolling papers, the cheap glue on the pages can cause you to asphyxiate.
