thought everything had to be spelt right with is right wif is wrong
It does. Missus Vavoline is merely a negress with a 4th grade education.
But she can polish a door knob like nobodies business. She can make a mans underwear come clean. So we forgive her being a bit stupid and let her negress speak go unpunished.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
She isn't stupid, brother Jim. Stupid is buying 250 hamburgers for the church picnic but only bringing 160 buns and no plates. Sister Vavoline is just from a different place.

You are very correct, Brother Nobar. I hope everyone will forgive my insensitive choice of words. The last thing Id ever want to do is say something hurtful or mean. I am very ashamed. I should of said "So we forgive her for being forced to have educational shortcomings and let her negress speak go unpunished.

Well mentally handicapped people are not hated by God. Here is the proof
Psalm 139:13-17 says that ALL human beings are loved by God.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
The verses that were quoted before as "proof" that God hated handicapped people are from the old testament, before Jesus came when you still had to worry about being struck down by god for your sins, and where you still had to give blood sacrifices. After Jesus came, he gave his life that ALL may be saved. He IS the blood sacrifice, and this is why we don't slaughter lambs and burn them to cleanse our sins.
Leviticus 21:18-24 is only part of the story, it's taken out of context. Read the whole chapter, you will see that it is pertaining to the priests in the temple.
1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people.
This proves that God was speaking to the priests through Moses, not the "regular" people.
21. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
This proves that God wanted people who represented his perfection, not people who were blemished, giving him sacrifices. this does not in ANY way, say that he hates mentally handicapped people.
This proves that
God wanted to set them apart from the other people as example of the perfection of God.
I defy you to prove to me that handicapped people are a punishment. I contend that they are a trial sent to families, by God, to test them, and bring them closer to him.
That having been said, please stop taking the Bible out of context...thats how cults are formed. Also, please stop hating people, God loves everybody...shouldn't you? I strongly suspect this whole forum and 90% of the people in it are trolling Christianity and using fragments of the Bible to support their idealism. It's really pathetic.

You are wrong. This has been discussed and proven ad nauseum.

I fail to see where I have been prove wrong...I did use the Bible...Gods word, as my proof...and whats more is, I didn't cherry pick a few references. I actually took a look at the entire chapter and that gave me some context. Unlike the half a chapter that the OP gave. I'm sorry, but if you can't take the entire chapter and prove your point, as well as give some context to the time in which the chapter was written and the historical events taking place then. Well, I can;t take you at face value. So, just to humor me since I am "wrong", would you please post solid, Biblical evidence that I am wrong...and this time, read the entire chapter so you can understand what God is really saying.

Sir, As I said before, read the entire thread. We have already posted this information, Your scripture say nothing about the infirm or defective. Twisting the Lords words around will only garner you His Eye of Scorn®.Playing your little game is pointless, we have God on our Team.

Where exactly did I twist God's word around? I quoted it verbatim per the KJV. The scripture I quoted said that God loves EVERYBODY are you familiar with that word? It means poor, rich, black, white, lesbian, gay, you, me...EVERYBODY. Now, is he disappointed and saddened by people's actions and choices? You bet! Thats why we have to ask for forgiveness for our sins.
The scripture you quoted, God told Moses to tell the Priests not to have dealings with people who were not a symbol of God (in other words, people who were not perfect) No where did it say God hates these people. The priests were to be an example of God, and therefore had to be perfect. They could not tarnish their appearance by mingling or dealing with imperfect people.
So...tell me again, exactly how do you have God on your side? Try reading the entire chapter of Leviticus 21. You will see I am right.

You know, a moron is a person who does the same thing over and over, failing every time as you have done, but somehow, you expect different results.
