Re: Stop!

Blasphemous, BrotherJohn, is comparing our humble Forum's post to the Word. What kind of Christian actually compares a 2-year old thread with the truth in KJV 1611 ? Are you perhaps showing your true colors ? Do you hate the Bible ?

Re: Stop!

niiiice. its good to see we're all hoarders here. looks like i'll fit in just fine. and let me just reiterate, the bible is 2000 years old, and thats still talked about. i get the feeling if you consider this old and irrelevant (at the spritely age of 2 years), you don't think the bible is relevant any longer? if so that is extraordinarily blasphemous

Re: Stop!

ah but marshall batteries he wasnt insulting jesus, he was insulting a certain individuals perception of jesus, these are two different things

One more clue that you don't have any reading comprehension whatsoever is that this thread is TWO YEARS OLD.

Re: Stop!

Is Jesus like the Incredible Hulk from the old TV series?

No.

You have me picturing Jesus ...

I take it that would be drawing with a green crayon and under supervision?

Re: Stop!

Insulting Jesus isn't cool.

Re: Stop!

he's always with us on earth, but since there's so many people on earth, he goes from town to town helping them
though of course this takes a long time, so lots of bad things may happen before he reaches a town

Is Jesus like the Incredible Hulk from the old TV series?

You have me picturing Jesus showing up in a new town each week, finding trouble, getting ANGRY about it (you wouldn't like Jesus when he's angry), fixing the problem, then hitchhiking to the next town with soft, sad piano music in the background.

Re: Stop!

They no longer need a war God to impress them, and to impress others. Jesus did not kill a single person. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the apotheosis of God's direction for us.

Seems to me that you pick and choose what verses of the Bible (Old and New Testaments) you choose to read. By doing this, you pick and choose your own religion, your own faith and your own path. God gave us the Bible and, in Jesus Christ Our Lord, has shown us The True Path™ (Glory!) – Nowhere does He say “pick the bits you like”.

M't:5:18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Lu:16:17: And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

And see my signature for a couple of other verses.

You speak of God as if He is our creation, that we might change Him! This is blasphemous! The God of the Old Testament is God of The New Testament – or are you denying the indivisibility of The Trinity?

You see Miss Professoress Brown, if that is your title, this is why The Lord does not want women preaching – they are not steadfast in His Word.

And now I ask that all True Christians™, on this, The Lord’s Day, join with me in a little song.

The Bells of Hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling, for you but not for me.
And the little devils have a sing-a-ling-a-ling, for you but not for me.
Oh death where is they sting-a-ling-a-ling, oh grave thy victory?
The Bells of Hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling, for you but not for me.

Praise!

Friend, I'm not sure what you are referring to. I haven't seen any racism, insults, or childish behavior coming from any of the True Christians™ on this site.

The only behavior meeting that description that I have seen comes from the internet trolls that a Godly site like this will invariably attract.


The Shepherd is never away, friend. Jesus is everywhere. He is with us always.

Matt 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Re: Stop!

I would say the same of war and deliberate savagery. The God of the Old Testament seems like a completely different person from the Jesus of the New Testament. God doesn't change. Our ability to understand Him does. What has changed is that the people of God have grown and matured. They no longer need a war God to impress them, and to impress others. Jesus did not kill a single person. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the apotheosis of God's direction for us.

I assume you haven't read the entire New Testament, dear? Jesus will return with a sword to slaughter the unfaithful. Sounds very like the Old Testament God . . . because, you see, Jesus IS God.

Re: Stop!

Jack,

Thank you for taking the time to provide a substantive response.

I understand your charge that the Bible contains a message of elitism. However, I think it better said that the Bible shows us a progression from elitism to a more open society. The chosen people started out as -- well, a population of zero after the Fall, then just Abraham and his immediate family, then the burgeoning Tribes of Isreal, then any Jew who accepted the apostolic call of Jesus, and finally anyone who would live the teachings of Jesus, be she Jew or Gentile. Salvation went from being restricted to "our family/ blood tribe" to being open to the entire world. (And possibly to other worlds should we find sentient life elsewhere). And the work of expanding our sympathies for other communities of believers has continued to this day.

I would say the same of war and deliberate savagery. The God of the Old Testament seems like a completely different person from the Jesus of the New Testament. God doesn't change.

Jesus did not kill a single person. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the apotheosis of God's direction for us.

I share in your inability to fathom any purpose in the sufferings of the world. We can only do our best. I will pray that God encourages both of us in our ministries, and that the Holy Spirit will fill our hearts and continues to enlighten our conversation.
