You did not know Jimmy was a money lender?

He's never charged me anything. I also noticed that your "quote" had no link so there is no way I can confirm whether or not you are taking that out of context.

Re: Cherry-picking Scripture

a heresy, and is not even found within the Bible itself.

Speaking of heresy, let's find out what the catholic church has to say about your sodomy.

Every human being is called to receive a gift of divine sonship, to become a child of God by grace. However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behavior—that is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. The Catholic Church teaches that such acts are always violations of divine and natural law.

Re: Cherry-picking Scripture

The difference is I accepted a long time ago that I accept that scripture has to be read in light of reason, as guided by the Holy Spirit.

Do you ever intend to explain how you know that you are right and all of those other people who read the Bible that way, yet reach conclusions contrary to yours, are wrong?

Your lot, on the other hand, accept blindly what is there. The sola scriptura approach is a heresy, and is not even found within the Bible itself.

2 Tim. 3:15-17: And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

So the Bible is able to make a person wise unto salvation through faith and to make that person perfect, thoroughly (not partially) furnished to all (not merely some) good works. Sounds like sola scriptura to me.

I just wanted to point out, queerboy, that you are being extremely sexist right now. Women aren't blind, just stupid.

But should he have been charging interest?

7. Refraining from lending money at interest (Psalms 15:5)

[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

Re: Cherry-picking Scripture

Again, we are not Jews, when Jesus said that he was talking to the Jews, wasn't he.

In the Bible, Jesus rarely speaks to Gentiles. He spoke to Pilate, God the Father, and two gentile women, one Caananite and one Samaritan (though they might be the same woman). Everything else He said was said to Jews. Does this mean that you are not to follow any words of Jesus except in those few verses?

And what do you make of Galatians 3:29, "...if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians tells us that we, as Christians, are Jews, too. Do you pick and chose the purposes for which you are Abraham's seed?

At least your statement has finally made me understand the essence of the Landover Baptist Church. When Jesus said to love your neighbor, he was also talking to Jews. You obviously don't think that rule applies to you.

If we instinctively know virtue why would we need The Bible in the first place?

Wasn't the whole point of Adam and Eve eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge that it enabled mankind to understand what is right and what is wrong instinctively?

Finally, I understand Landover.

Hm I just noticed you are from Britain. I think I know where this is going wrong. Allow me to enlighten you and save your soul in the process.

I know people in Britain gobble up insane amounts of alcohol and this means you probably think "guided by the Holy Spirit" refers to lots of alcohol. I can imagine that reading the Holy Bible while under the influence of insane amounts of alcohol can cause you to get completely delusional idea's about the Holy Bible. You really need to sober up there. Leviticus 10:9 "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations"

Once you sober up it is time to learn what is really in the Holy Bible. A good place to start is: 2nd Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

And a good place to cure yourself from the delusion that God is a pink fluffy bunny would be:Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Unfortunately it is you Mark is referring to here. You will burn in hell unless you change your ways.

Re: Scripture Challenge

I won't get it because I am careful about whom I have sex with, and I'm not on herion, so theres virtually no way I'll get it

How can you tell if they have the AID's. Is there a special thing you insert into you boyfriends hole like a pregnancy test.

I am glad you are not into herons, They are pretty birds and that would be bestiality.

You can get blood tests to see if your partner has AIDs.

Nooo, I said I'm not on heroin. The drug. You know, the one you insert into your veins.

Why would a priest want to test your blood for the AID's when you are homersexual. It would be against the teachings of the Lord.


Leviticus 4:30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

That would be so wrong to put drugs into your veins.

Re: Scripture Challenge

Of course a Bible which has been modified by homers will say that. Seriously do you think 2 homers will lie in a womens bed, of course not. If I found out 2 homers had sex in my bed I will burn it because of the homer disease

Lisa that is not the worst part of it!!!

Revelations 20:19 " And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

That is a curse...some pastors say...not to add or take away from the Bible. The Homers are doing just that by what this homer just said!!!!

Re: Scripture Challenge

Wow, you sure are quick to show your stupidity, huh? Look, here's what the Hebrew says.

וְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁכַּב אֶת־זָכָר מִשְׁכְּבֵי אִשָּׁה תֹּועֵבָה עָשׂוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם מֹות יוּמָתוּ דְּמֵיהֶם בָּֽם׃

Don't believe me? Why don't you look into the history of how this law was enforced - it was used, since the earliest days of the Hebrews, as a law to KILL anyone found having sex with another man. Are suggesting that 21st century perverts understand ancient hebrew better than the ancient hebrews did?

You also like to overlook the fact that since the earliest days of Christianity, the texts used today to condemn all homosexual acts, were used to condemn ALL homosexual acts. For more than 2000 years these words were understood. Are we to believe that suddenly, because of a recent uprise in homosexual popularity in the public, that a few ultra-liberal FRINGE "scholars" who twist the plain words of the Bible and of history, that in fact the Word of God is wrong?

Do YOU read Hebrew, sir? If so, I'm interested in having a discussion on the matter of translation

Oh you are going to love me!!! I am one of the few people here who knows what you said in Hebrew. I also know that not only did the Hebrews not only forbid homosexuality they stoned them outside the city when such things were caught. I also know that Sodom and Gomorrah was not the only city destroy for/or because of homosexuality. There were several others including the Cananites. This begs the question that homosexuality led to the breakdown of their societies.
