Quote I believe this is exactly what Nick is doing when he reads our posts about all the killing at the command of God.Just out of curiosity, Mandy, on a slightly related topic, how do you feel about the “war of the great day of God the almighty” or armageddon?Is it wrong of him to say who is and who is not fit for life?

Quote What we cannot do/should not do, we want to do all the more! In seems silly for God to demand we obey the very law he put into place that he knew ahead of time (for those that believe this) that we could not obey!I'm pretty certain you know your children will not listen to everything you say.

Quote Perhaps. Or maybe he has stopped to study what he has been denying for too long. I note t8 has not posted here much in the lat few months…T8 is like that. He comes and goes. Sometimes he posts for weeks and then you don't hear from him for months and months it seems.

That's 1 John 1:7.Quote I challenge you to find one passage in the NT which speaks towards “washing away our sin”.

Quote I challenge you to find one passage in the NT which speaks towards “washing away our sin”. It is a Christian phrase with as much biblical support as “trinity” and “rapture”.good point. But what I had said was: “the blood of Jesus washes away our sin.”And what the Bible says: “the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” “Cl…[Read more]

Just looking at the ten commandments. I'm wondering why others think the tenth commandment is in there.The tenth commandment, directed against coveting, was unenforceable by human authorities. I think this testifies to the divine origin of the law, for no human law-making body would have made a law that could not be enforced by means of sanctions…[Read more]

Of course, there's Daniel 9, which speaks of “messiah the leader” being “cut…[Read more]

Quote If you take the NT at face value, none of the learned Jews listened anyways. –kejonnOf course, this is incorrect. If we take the NT at face value (“a literal or direct meaning or interpretation”) did “none” of the learned Jews listen?ACTS 26:5“that have been previously acquainted with me from the first know, if they but wish to bear w…[Read more]

Quote This is utterly appalling. Quote Deu 28:53 The siege will be so severe that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters, whom the LORD your God has given you.Deu 28:54 The most tenderhearted man among you will have no compassion for his own brother, his beloved wife, and his surviving children.Deu 28:55 He will refuse to give…[Read more]

Quote Huh? As you know it is? Why is what you know any more valid than what Joe Blow knows?Rigid fundamentalism has resulted in many deaths. Should that be overlooked?–kejonnApparently not, and yet, the gathas say to “let each person choose his creed.”Perhaps the gathas overlooked this or mazda wasn't very far sighted.

Quote I am not hanging out on here, just waiting to answer your questions. Your level of impatience shows you don't have one particular fruit…–kejonn.Kejonn, I simply asked you: Will your god let us destroy ourself? Does he care about people?

Quote Look the dates up anywhere. I can see why you backtrack.If you have some sort of point to make, why don't you just make it. Are you saying that secular sources do not match up date wise with the Bible?

Quote What makes you think Yahweh will step in? There is zdero evidence of him stepping in yet.And I see no evidence of the sun coming up tomorrow. Except that it has always faithfully done so.Unlike mazda, Jehovah promises to step in, and therefore at the very least, pretends to care. Your god does no such thing. Only silence and not even the…[Read more]

Quote Jehovah hates himself? Surely killing over 2 million people is not an act of kindness or benevolence.Quote I see nothing in there that would keep a Christian from watching UFC.

Quote I caught it, Kevin, but just didn't know how to respond. I am feeling a bit defeated by this overwhelming evidence that the OT seems (for lack of a better way of putting it), wacked.Moses certainly doesn't seem to be acting like a lover of God and definitely not like a Christian! We are led to believe that “righteous anger” is OK. Maybe…[Read more]

Quote Evolution. Not a global flood as depicted in the OT.Are you sure your god, mazda, even exits Kejonn? Has he done anything?

Quote Look back. Historically, the events related to Jesus' birth in Matthew and Luke do not have him being born in 1 BCE or 1 CE.Let's start with some proof..on second thought, I'm going to edit this and say that this thread is about zoroaster.

Quote Will your god let us destroy ourself? Does he care about people? Will he step in, ever?No answer then? So is that a “no.”?
