really? I could have sworn you had a muhamed/bomb avatar for quite awhile omg atheist proselytizers in a politics/religion forum on the internets, say it isn't so
I said where does it say for me to kill or a Christian to kill a homosexual? So, no you didn't answer even with a link or verse. and like Kalvin said, it was for the leaders to enforce the penalty, not me or him. God never said to murder - God said NOT to murder. Nokia - what I am reading from all your posts is you have a misconception of Christianity probably taught by your imam or read on some hate site. You obviously either have no clue or don't want one.
"and how does the old testament say to a Christian to go kill a homosexual? (oh it doesn't)" That is what you said. The answer I provided was (which i think is a quote ): Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. Is that not God commanding you to kill the Homosexual? To MURDER the homosexual? So was the bible only written for these leaders- where in the bible does it tell you what all christians should follow and where does it tell you what just the leaders should follow? I don't have a miscnception of Christianity, I question Christianity and you lot are unable to provide satisfactory answer as it seems you are unclear of the facts of Christianity yourself. regardless of what you might think, I am not a narrow minded Fanatic, I have respect for other people regardless of race, or religion ( shame the same can not be said about yourself). So no I don't visit Hate Sites and brainwash myself with mindless facts, do you?
Boy, you are a joke. You have been given answers over and over by multiple people and you don't want to accept those answers - that is up to you. You are here as what others call a troll. You get satisfaction trying to cause issue, but as you will see, those who believe in God have not been confused or swayed by your words. I have wasted more than enough time on you, so I am putting you on ignore. Others may continue this with you, but they probably see you have only gone in circles and have no understanding. To answer you AGAIN, but in a different way = A Christian is not a Hebrew or Jew. The old testament directions were for specific people at a specific time, when Jesus came he fulfilled the law while upholding it. The commandments still apply, the application of the other laws which were designed for a group of people with leadership are not passed to individuals of other countries, times, etc... I doubt you will get any of this, thus the ignore function will come in handy. happy trolling....
Thats right, Just walk away, when the going gets tough, the 'tough' gets going. Just to clarify I have been given NO satisfactory answers regarding how jesus is god, and god is the father of jesus- But i don't expect an answer as i know that you lot are unable to provide me an answer, everyone keeps waffling on about the Trinity and how it just is. Well, not good enough, do you just take everything for as it is or do you read around the subject and look at the facts? If it said in the bible that green pigs fly on wednesday would you believe that? Isn't the bible the holy book for christians? So why have a part of it which was before the religion began and is not followed any more? doesn't that seem a bit stupid? Accusing me of trolling! The real reason is that people like you come on here going on about christianity like you know everything, but when put to the test you can't even answer the simplest question on the foundation of christian belief. Ignore me, Doesn't bother me, Hiding away from the problem isn't oing to help, you have to face it . I don't try and cause anything, Something about your religion does not make the least bit of sense, i am merely enquiring about it, You and many others have so far failed to provide an adequate response. Where did Jesus come from?- The virgin womb of Mary?- How did he get there?-God put him there. But hang on a second........Isn't Jesus referred to as God? You know it doesn't make sense, yet why you continue to accept it is beyond me
Yes...they pick what they like & ignore the nasty & idiotic parts of it. The landover baptist church is one of the few true christianâ„¢ churches left in existence
Not going to bother watching videos, but I read that page. It is so much like the muslim (hate) sites that also try to make the Bible look bad by not putting into the context of each chapter, etc... I am betting someone has already told you this, but here goes a little bit: Jesus completed the law. He also pointed out more specifically how we break those laws. He also talked about the heart of the law. Why do we have speed limits? Well, for a few reasons, the main reason is safety for others. So when someone speeds and is ticketed for speeding, it isn't just because there is a law, but because of what it represents. If you want to break the law, it is your choice, but don't keep coming home crying to your momma about the police picking on you and how it has become a police state, then crying about the cost, then the cost of your insurance, boo-hoo. All the rest of the people are happy you are ticketed hoping you would stop, but they would just be happier if they were safe, would they not? The heart of each law reflects God's love, that is why Jesus said there were 2 commandments that the rest all fell into - love God with all your Heart and others. By loving others you will desire not to do the things that hurt others. Too tired to keep my train of thought, but it probably doesn't matter, since I am probably being ignored.
You got that right. Speed limits, the law, insurance & jesus? Typical christian denial & adamance. Perhaps you would care to explain why you think that video is putting chapters in the Bible out of context?
Why watch the video? The same stuff, just different site. I read that page. Oh, did you not read that, maybe if I bold it for you - I read that page. I read the page and if the video is about what I read, why watch the video? The page has tried to confuse the issue, that was all. I am sure it was on purpose, just like the muslim sites do, nothing new. Denial? Denying what? that someone has a lack of understanding and runs with that? Go cry me a river, but do it in your own yard.
Please, shed some light on the issue that it's trying to confuse. Denying the nasty parts of the Bible, examples of which you asked for.
People like eXe think that if Christians knew about the "nasty" parts they would stop being Christians. We know about the "nasty" parts. You can learn a lot from them. Like there's only one issue. If you want to let these web-sites and videos do the thinking for you so you don't have to then go right ahead. If you want to know why those sites and videos are confused about a lot of things you're going to have to do some thinking on your own. It's not like there's a shortage of rebuttals to those things aleady. Nobody is obligated to keep reinventing the wheel just because you want a version with your name on it. If you want us to help you out, find the rebuttal to your objection and walk us through why you don't accept the rebuttal.
Why no! I would prefer a fictional book do the thinking for me By "thinking" you mean coming up with excuses to deny the repulsiveness of the Bible. Let's hear them. Are you aware that this is a message board? A place where exchange of ideas & thoughts take place. Besides, I'm not asking you to "reinvent" it, I would just like to hear what you have to say in defense of the nasty parts of the Bible. Obviously you know about them & still are a Christian
I wasn't aware that this being a message board we're all obligated to meet the demands of all the other people here. Here's a clue by four: we're not. You can ask questions all you want. We have no obligation to answer them. Silence means we have better things to do than reinvent wheels because you're too lazy to use a search engine. You're going to have to be more specific. What do you consider the nastiest thing in the Bible? Human history is nasty. Do I owe you a defense for that as well? What do you consider the nastiest thing in human history? And how can you possibly consider yourself a human knowing that?
Neither do I have any obligation to treat your beliefs seriously, because you're too lazy to do some thinking. So don't answer them, but remember that until you do you are in the same ballpark as madmen. You can believe whatever you want to of course, that doesn't make it true unless you back it up. Save it, you're delusional IMO. You keep going around in circles and are likely to make up any excuse to defend your irrational faith. If you still want to answer it the link to the video is just a few posts up.
