Better efforts have been made by better people than you.
That New Testament's a little too deep for you, eh?
Note to self: Cancel season tickets to Preacher Joe's sermons.
Awwww, isn't that cute. Now the liberals are cherry picking the bible the same way they cherry pick the constitution. Who says the right has a corner on the god thing.
Hmm. April 25, 2005....
Zot ya later
Definitely reading too much into it.
review later
This is a straw man argument---- for one, the Bible is not "advertised by Christians" to be the ONLY true source of wisdom. There is that little thing called "common sense" which comes naturally to most folks with the possible exception of yourself.
It does offer information on the route to spiritual salvation in our view- that route being Jesus Christ, and not the efforts of mankind.
It's turned out to be an effective belief system in that since Christians don't believe in the perfectability of men through the hand of Man, we are thus a natural barrier to the most destructive ideology invented by Man, otherwise known as communism.
We're not forcing you to accept our faith, since Jesus pretty much told us not to jam our beliefs down other people's throats but to simply go on with our business, walking away from those who don't want to hear about God. The concept of the Trinity, which Muslims in particular have a hard time with, is not a three-headed God any more than you have three heads because you have a mind, body and soul. Nice try with the insults, though.
I love the smell of troll meat in the morning.
A common misconception is that one must be an asshole to be an athiest.
Personally I do not believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, nor do I believe in any God whatsoever.
Because I'm an athiest.
Yet I do not initiate needless confrontations with people who do believe such things, mocking them and their faith.
Because I'm not an asshole.
Aren't liberals cute when they pick up a bible.
The Bible isn't the Constitution of the US it IS the Living Word. No contradicitions unless a liberal tries to discredit it.
Go away troll.
"Jesus also thumbed his nose at his alleged Father's moral and holy Law of Deut 22:22 when he excused a women caught in the act of adultery and let her off with a warning in John 8:1-11. However, God who is also supposed to be Jesus, had no problem ordering a man killed because he picked up sticks on the Sabbath. Num 15:32-36 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses."
It is obvious that you are NOT a christian.
You are a troll.
Jesus told the adulteress "GO, your sins are FORGIVEN."
You see, by the law you quoted, both the adulteress ADN THE ADULTERER would have had to be stoned.
She was the only person dragged out in front of Christ.
Hmmm.. means the guy she was caught with was a Pharisee.
Jesus healed on the Sabbath because it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
You trolls really need to get a life.
Hmmm... So the life lesson taught to the rabid crowd that condemnation and salvation are reserved to God himself - and imperfect man could no longer pretend to be God - is Christ "thumbing his nose" at God?
Oh - and the new covenant instituted by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ don't figure into this dereliction of the old covenant?
Pray for understanding, and study (the whole Bible - not just those parts that you see as approving you) to show thyself approved.
Say your prayers.
