What price religion?

Discussion in 'Religion and Spirituality' started by spect8or, Jan 20, 2004.

  1. This is BS!!!!!

    There were other nations living near and among the Jewish nation. There are also specific laws to deal with all sort of situations that may arise from that.

  2. Oooooooh I see..... so if your JEWISH you should
    immediately stone me to death?? LMAOOOO :D

    Now tell us Shoe... exactly WHERE does it state in either
    book that book #1 should ONLY be followed by JEWS
    and that book #2 should ONLY be followed by Christians?

    Of course, God isn't going to suggest that Christians go into a religiously and ethnically diverse nation and kill all non-Christians.
    Oh but of course! It's not like he hasnt commanded anything
    like that in the PAST! LMAOOOO :D

    Your acting like a fish out of water, flopping around dodging
    the issue. Wheres the BEEF?


    Sounds like your just making this stuff up Shoe.

    Again I challenge you to show us exactly WHERE it is stated
    that Book #1 is only for jews, and book #2 only for christians.

    ***THEN*** please explain WHY your god would command JEWS
    to stone us to death, and why CHRISTIANS are treated differently.

    Are the JEWS the SOLDIERS of god or something?
    Your god sounds very inconsistent and CONFUSED :D

    Please please explain..... this is entertaining. Cant wait to
    hear the excuses now :D



    peace

  3. So now let me ask you SHOE. Would you stone me to death
    on sight? I work weekends... and I attempt to get you to
    stray from god. Not only that... I was a very misbehaving
    hyper-active kid.
    You have MANY biblical reasons to STONE me
    to death. Of course... im a non-believer and infidel too.
    ___________________________________________

    The fact is... in my case... your dealing with an EX-theist
    who WAS sincere in his beliefs.
    But as he grew up and learned
    to think properly, shed himself of all the BUNK he was brainwashed
    with as a child. This stuff is not only bunk, its OBVIOUSLY bunk
    to a third person who is free to THINK FOR THEMSELVES.

    I am having trouble reconciling this.

  4. If you're going to keep misquoting me, I'm going to go onto another subject. I never said the above.

    One more time: Christians are under obligation to follow the Old Testament unless it is specifically nulled in the New Testament which was clearly done for the Law.

    I don't have a Bible with me but in Galatians, Romans and Hebrews and dozens of other places it clearly states that Christians are not under the Jewish Law. If you're seriously interested, pm me and I'll send you a dozen clear references when later when I can get to a Bible.

    All I can ask is where are you getting this stuff? Do you know one Christian on the planet that is trying to follow the Jewish law?

    I don't even understand what you're arguing anymore...

  5. At the time of Christs' death the sun was darkened and the curtain in the temple was torn in two. At this point in time the old law was fulfilled and set aside and a new covenant was initiated. The sacrifices were set aside because the ultimate sacrifice had been offered. The stoning was to have stopped and a new method of dealing with these things was ushered in. The commands for morality were never set aside.

  7. Im not misquoting you...you are clearly implying this.
    You are claiming that the OLD TESTAMENT does NOT apply
    to christians, but only to jews.

    I never saw a "for jews only" sticker on a bible :D


    One more time: Christians are under obligation to follow the Old Testament unless it is specifically nulled in the New Testament which was clearly done for the Law.

    And my question is SAYS WHO?

    Please explicitly QUOTE us the bible where it says that
    the OLD TESTAMENT should be IGNORED by the christians.

    Then answer all my other questions.

    Lets start with just one:

    1) Do you agree that JEWS are COMMANDED by god to stone
    people like me to death???


    peace

  8. Having raised one hyper-active rebellious kid and seeing him go the moral route it interests me to see the reasons surrounding those that went the other way.

    This kid now has a hyper-active rebellious kid of his own to deal with. He always thought I was too hard on him but now sees it was mainly in his own eyes at the time. Such as the time he wanted me to give him his own 30/30 at age 5. He thought I was being hard on him. I wanted to protect him and all around him. Being hyper-active and rebellious is just really extreme self centeredness. What's new?

    >This particular serial rapist was sincerely saved at 30 and
    >now in his 40s has turned to the "devil" and has brutalized
    >many women. He has been caught, tried, sentenced and
    >executed unremorsefully.

    Shoe:
    >In other words, this guy was nothing but a poser - of
    >which there are many - who was never really "saved" in
    >the first place.

    >He looked good on the outside, went through the
    >religious motions and fooled everybody except God....


    Oh yes, here we jump on board the circular logic. I was raised with this particular one so I know it well.

    Because of gods saving grace and the death of his son Jesus(if believed and accepted) we are saved and free from the law. BUT....BUT... BUT.. BUT, BUT *IF* we don't keep the law afterwards, that is proof that we are just "posers" and weren't really saved. Either way of course the law must be kept or you are not going to heaven.

    When logic is applied it, it turns out to be nothing more than a "righteousness by works" trip with a lowered barrier for easy entry.
