The messianic era. What of it?

Actually, since I left Christianity, I am now giving to noble charities instead of putting my money and time into a building and pastor's salary. Yourself?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,14:02)Hi Tow, 1Cor 7 10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a…[Read more]

Yes, my reality ends at the same point your fantasy does. Ironic isn't it?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,13:44)Hi tow, No. He stays and loves his familyWhile they decide whether or not they can live with his decision.Really? Show me where Jesus taught this.

That and the millions of Christians who pass by homeless shelters, prisons, and charities every Sunday so they can hear someone tell them how to be more like Jesus.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,13:42)Hi tow, So these are the same sorts of magic that you say the prophets lied about?As usual Nick, you continue with your own line of reasoning even though I have been abundantly clear what I believe. Yet if it makes you feel better about your false religion to think this way, I'll allow you to continue to…[Read more]

Sure, if Jesus can be a god, so can I. After all, he was human, I'm human. Now YHVH said He is not a man, so I can't be G-d, but like I said I can be every bit as much as a god as Jesus.One thing is for sure though: my religion won't punish people for an eternity just because they do not choose my way. I'm not that selfish.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,12:23)Hi Tow, The message has never been popularwith those who have read it and cannot believe.So you would like to be there along side of Jesus as he watches people being tormented forever and ever Nick? Do you look forward to stuff like that? It would explain much.

Its better to have a doctrine of peace and love then one of genocide, cannabalism, and everlasting torment.

Quote (Son of Light @ Jan. 08 2008,13:14)Quote (Towshab @ Jan. 08 2008,23:05)Hey SOL and Stu,If you think Jesus and his daddy are all about peace and love, check out Revelation. They both take off the disguise in that book. And while YHVH seemed to be a bloodthirsty G-d (which I attribute to bloodthirsty humans, not a benevolent Creator), He never…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,12:05)Hi Tow, Begin again.Why?Quote God is real.Never said He wasn't.Quote The bible is the Word of God.If that is so, G-d stopped speaking almost 2000 years ago. Is He on vacation?Quote Compare anything else with what God has said and it will show you.If you have the Spirit.If you have spirit, why do you depend…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,12:22)Hi Tow, So there are now no writings that are the Word of God for you? There goes the rudder.Rocks ahead.Without the Christian bible, millions of Jews would likely have been spared. That's what the GT has given the world.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,12:02)Hi Tow,You do not accept tanakh any way so you points lack validity.I accept it in many ways. In your mind though I don't. But again, since you say it is 100% true, then you seem to be missing something because you ignore all of the messianic passages.Quote Grasp the NT and you will find he is and ever was.I…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 08 2008,11:55)Hi Tow, You are venting your anger against a much more powerful God.Your god had to sacrifice his own son to make amends for the mess he created, so I know you're not referring to him.Quote Did you not know that a man who decides to follow Christ while his family is still serving the god of this world,…[Read more]

Another instance of Jesus and his obvious fetish with complete obedience:====================================Luk 9:61  Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Luk 9:62  Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of G…[Read more]

Oh, and the context of Mat 10:35 is not “end-times”. Its just an example of Jesus and his tendency to demand complete obedience to himself. That is another reason to doubt him. On one hand he'll say stuff about following “god the father” and then its all about people following Jesus.==============================Mat 10:37 Whoever loves father or…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Jan. 08 2008,08:14)Tow God is not going to let people burn forever in a Hell fire, that is a misconseption on peoples part. It says that God will destroy, that means burn up. It does not make any sense why a merciful God would want to do that. Besides why would there somewhere in the Universe be a place of torture when everything…[Read more]

Jesus teaches one thing:Mat 19:19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”But in practice, he tells people that this is all a bunch of hooey:Mat 10:35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.Once more Jesus is…[Read more]

Oh, should have include the prior verse to show Jesus getting his kicks watching people suffer.Rev 14:10 You will have to drink the wine that God gives to everyone who makes him angry. You will feel his mighty anger, and you will be tortured with fire and burning sulfur, while the holy angels and the Lamb look on.
