6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9 You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
Yeah, we need to chip in and pay for Six Sigma training for troll quality control. ~ dirtboy
I'd go for sick sigmoidoscope training...
"The kid's got a point, but every religion has a crazy aunt or two in the attic."
Yep. Even the Global Warmists have Auntie Al.
Thou are smited.
Therefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good. Romans 7:12
The law is nothing more than a standard (it cannot save us only condemn us). God will either have to lower the standard for us (ain't gonna happen) or we will have to change. This change must result into our perfection - that is the goal.
Definitely a faulty memory. Deuteronomy is in the canon of Scripture of both the Jews and of all Christian confessions
The canon accepted by Orthodox Church contains all the books accepted by the Latin church (on the basis of the Ecumenical Councils and the Council of Carthage and reiterated by the Latins at Trent after Luther threw out the books of the Old Testament not found in the Masorete (shortened by Christ-denying rabbis at Jamnia from the longer Jewish canon found in the LXX).
The Orthodox also accept as Scripture, 3rd and 4th Maccabees, the Prayer of Manassah, and the 151st Psalm. (While regarded as Scripture, neither the 151st Psalm, nor the Apocalypse of St. John are ever read during services of the Orthodox Church.)
The KJV includes all the books of the Latin canon, but those rejected by Luther and the Christ-denying rabbis of Jamnia are usually not printed anymore when protestant printing houses print the KJV. Anglican printing houses usually put the balance of the Old Testament as an appendix, citing the 39 Articles of Religion's description of them as being read for 'instruction in life and morals' but not used to establish doctrine. There are also some disagreements about book names. I've forgotten which Western system calls books 1st and 2nd Chronicles and 1st and 2nd Kings, and which calls the same books 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Kings, but they are the same books.
The Ethiopian monophysites have an even longer canon, considering all books accepted by the Orthodox as Scripture, together with the Shepherd of Hermas and the First and Second Epistles of St. Clement, Pope of Rome (go figure).
There, more than you ever wanted to know about the content of the Christian canon of Scripture.
Your confusion is a direct result of your being an idiot.
"So does this mean if I don't kill my parents I wont go to heaven when I die?"
They don't have a troll heaven, so I wouldn't worry about trying to get there.
Thanks very much!
There is a common thread throughout the Bible. Proverbs says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Through prayer and meditation the Lord can reveal these truths to you. A good Bible commentary may guide you until its meaning comes more into focus. With a thorough reading of the Bible it becomes more connected and real.
I don't know, but I did get a good deal on my car insurance.
By your interpretation, than God hates bunny rabbits.
So there is but valid response
Jeez, dude - do you believe everything you read?
Thank you, somehow must have misstyped something.
He stilldeserves the Troll Slayer though.
If I had to guess, you had it set to search the King James version, whereas what he posting is from a different version, and thus the translation is slightly different.
Most likely.
