You only have a problem with this concept all due to you not believing God exists. Correct me if I am wrong here Col
So how do you feel about men claiming to be a prophet, that are your age, who take a six year old girl for their wife?
That is no secret that I don't believe in God but I also find it interesting how reasonably intelligent people can believe in this nonsense.
You see. There you go. That's the same as calling people idiots because they have a different opinion than you. You only think it is nonsense because you don't know enough about it. You are showing an incredible attitude here. All I have ever done in these threads is invite people to look into the Bible for themselves and here you are calling me an idiot indirectly. Take a step back and just think about how you are appearing. What is it exactly are you are trying to achieve by being this way? If it is an attempt to have many others being rubbed up the wrong way by your comments then I would have to say you are doing a grand job. Col
I have looked in to the Bible myself and I still think it is nonsense. It is fictional stories by the people who lived 2000 years ago. People should learn that they are the one who are responsible for their own actions and not to look for guidance or approval from a mystical almighty creature.
Look. Fair enough you don't believe in it. But do you have to be so brutal about the way you say that? It's the same as if you decided to wear a green shirt instead of a blue one and someone goes up to you and calls you an idiot for wearing a green shirt because he only believes in blue shirts. Basically, I am saying "pull your head in". EVERYONE knows your views on this in this forum. I think you have made that quite clear. There's no need to continue to call people idiots. It serves no good purpose at all. Col
people would call him an idiot no matter what color shirt...but then again, he would only do the same.
And on that point, my contributions to this thread end. There is no point in debating thngs with you if your only attemp is to call people idiots. . EVERY DAY, I see people who post some idiotic stuff on web marketing. Do I call THEM idiots? no way, why? Because it is impolite. Yet when someone has no faith, they seem to find it acceptable to ridicule others SIMPLY because they have taken a contrary position on a subject. That makes me sad. RESPECT my friend, respect is something that sadly is appearing less and less. I might not beleive in a lot of things, but I will fight for the rights of others to beleive in them, because the right to beleive in something is a human right (as long as what they beleive in is legal of course).
Well gworld, I'm going to stop arguing because you continue to question God and Jesus and you are very narrow minded. We present you with facts and scriptures from the Bible but all you do is keep questioning everything.
That is the difference between realistic and religious people. We question things and just don't accept things as a truth because a story book from 2000 years ago said so.
I know I said I would not debate any more in this thread, but I am 1000% with Gworld here. you MUST question things. But there is a difference between questioning something politely, and being out and out offensive by simply calling it crap.
Quote me something in the NEW testament where murder, adultary is allowed. Follow the new testament not old. After all you do not quote an old edition of a book but the latest edition.
So you admit you cannot find anything in the New Testament to justify your bigotry and hatred? You avoided a question I asked earlier. Shall I repost it?
I have already posted quotes from new testament in other threads but the whole logic of trying to limit the bible to new testament is stupid which is probably the reason you support it.
So you would have no problem finding them and reposting them again here, to justify your bigotry and hatred? Don't let me stand in your way BTW, how do you feel about men your age, claiming to be prophets and taking six year old girls as their wife?
The new testament is not a "latest edition" of the Bible and never has been. It is following along the theme of the previous writers. Also, it is written in Greek instead of Hebrew. Basically, the old testament does not work without the new testament and vice versa. Col
