Re: To all "true christians"

I have some questions I wish to be answered; probably not too difficult for you TC's, yet they went ignored. Please answer these, I'm not trying to offend you, just trying to understand better.

Well I am sure that if you spent less time in the public toilets and more time in the Word, you wouldn't have to ask someone else. Unless you're a woman, in which case it is more understandable.

How can it be that Isaiah prophesied a temporary destruction of Tyre, while Ezekiel prophesied a permanent destruction (Ezekiel 26:14,21; 27:36; 28:19 versus Isaiah 23:13-18)?

Well certainly there would be a temporary period of destruction (while the destroying is being done), then a permanent STATE of destruction. Remember, God uses English, and I know that that can be hard for you. You just need to learn context and how to understand His Word. That can only come with the Holy Spirit, and obviously He has not inhabited you yet!

Why doesn't prayer work, when the Bible promises that it will (John 14:14, for example)?

Prayer is always heard. However, the answer to prayer is often "no". Surely Jesus cannot always say "yes" to everything, because then the world would be a terrible place! Imagine if the average towel-head were to pray that he could mercilessly slaughter thousands -- would God say yes? Certainly not! He has a Plan for all mankind, and is executing it to perfection. He cannot allow you to screw it up!

Why does most of the Old Testament teach that there is no afterlife (see Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, for example), while later Old Testament writings and the New Testament do?

The Old Testament preaches that after we die there is nothing? The verse of which you spake is only talking about the bodies, not about the soul. Once the body expires, the soul is free to be judged by God and either welcomed into Heaven or sent directly to the pits of Hell.

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6,

Was the Law given by Yahweh perfect (Psalm 19:7), or wasn't it (Hebrews 8:6-8)?

Everything God has ever done is perfect. Now humans screw up and God has to punish them, so sometimes He has to change tactics, but that doesn't mean that He has ever made a mistake. If the Law wasn't fit for sinful mankind, then He would have to change it. But both would be perfect, by definition.

Few other good questions I found online:


How can it be that Isaiah prophesied a temporary destruction of Tyre, while Ezekiel prophesied a permanent destruction (Ezekiel 26:14,21; 27:36; 28:19 versus Isaiah 23:13-18)?


Why doesn't prayer work, when the Bible promises that it will (John 14:14, for example)?


Which "Ten Commandments" are *the* Ten Commandments - the ones listed at Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5, or the ones listed at Exodus 34? Only the list at Exodus 34 is explicitly called the "Ten Commandments" in the biblical text.


Why does most of the Old Testament teach that there is no afterlife (see Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, for example), while later Old Testament writings and the New Testament do?


Was the Law given by Yahweh perfect (Psalm 19:7), or wasn't it (Hebrews 8:6-8)?


I await your interesting and informational responses. Eh!

Re: To all "true christians"

What i mean by this is we werent created exactly in gods image so im sure he dident have a bellybutton. nor did adam and eve (in my non-professional opinion)
but i think that their children had belly buttons because they came from the womb of eve, so on and so forth.

Do those spikes on your head go into your brain?

Re: To all "true christians"

Back on subject...someone a while back said if we were created in gods image, why do we have a belly button?

MY awnser to this is just another question..



If we were created in gods image why dont we all look the same?

Is that a suitable awnser?

So by your logic, when God says to stone sodomites he's not necessarily talking about homosexuals? Are you blatantly retarded?

[Andrew Shaw]

Re: To all "true christians"

My word, there's a lot of stupid posts in this thread.




Which of these statements do you disagree with:
1) God hates idol-worshippers.
2) The little yellow heathens worship idols.
3) God hates little yellow heathens. Q.E.D.

Hmm..i cant disagree with any of them because it loops 'god hates little yellow heathens i say no to but the 'little yellow heathens' worship idols and i agree that god hates idol worshipers because it says not to do that in my bible..

Is that a suitable awnser?

Re: To all "true christians"

Seriously almost nothing is made in the US anymore.

What's wrong with outsourcing our God given wealth to countries that need it? Isn't that what homer's like you are always complaining about? That we don't do enough to help the less fortunate?

I'll say one thing about those chinks; you give 'em twenty bucks and they follow you around all week. The kids will work for half the price of an adult. All with no benefits or holidays. We could just as easily get them to put a "Made in USA" stamp on them, but we're trying to build their confidence.

2)What...the...? You reference The Bible for evidence?Way to go!

What, so God's word isn't good enough for you? Do you think He was just joking around?

Oh im sure when japan decides to collect its honest dues we'll just nuke them again..from the recent news ive heard about bush planning to nuke iran im sure that'll become the easy button to all our problems

PRAISE!

Acctually it has to do with america being a consumer whore and a capitolist society where private buisness' and corporations reign supreme. You do know how a capitolist society works right? if not let me explain..essentially we let our citizens be the economy (good idea right?) and the government prophets from tax money that the buisness' and citizens pay for their goods wich are made overseas in countrys like japan and china because its cheaper to produce over there..So really its the type of government that we have not crazy hippies and democrats.

It would appear that Karl Marx has been reborn.

Who's to judge on who jesus hates? Not you. Not me. But jesus. And did he say that? ever? No.

1) God hates idol-worshippers.

Ahaha. Nice. If he hated them, then why would he make them?

How else is He supposed to send them to hell?

Re: To all "true christians"

One. Uhm. Yeah. Chinks are Chinese. Shows how much you know about racial slang, eh?

And two, Japan makes: Toshiba, Sony, Honda, Nissan, Nintendo, Kawasaki.

Toshiba's are televisions and more're less other smaller products that coincide with technological advancements.

Sony: MAkes playstations, games, dvd players, vcr's, televisions, speakers, headphones, phones, and more things that deal with small technological things.

Honda: CARS

Nissan: CARS

Nintendo: Video game systems. Take the Wii, very advanced showing brainpower.

Kawasaki: Motorcycles, other vehicles.

This is only some ways they have product inflicting with our lives daily.

I bet if you look for the tags on the things you buy or have bought that are technological, they say Made In Japan, Thailand, CHINA, and some other foreign sweatshops.

Stooge.

None of those things are made by japs. They outsource everything to America, Mexico and the Phillipines.

Call me an insulting name again and I'll show you the door, fool.

You know they'll simply say to test their faith or some trip like that right?

I'm expecting it.

As soon as it's out, My retort is, 'To test the faith. So. He made them, to test how strong a faith in a religion across the world is?...Brilliant plan.'

Re: To all "true christians"

So you have proof that Jeebus Jesus hates them? Goodie. Let's see it! Really, I would like to see it. And last time I checked, Asian countries are among the most advanced in the modern world. If your lord hates them, why doesn't he do the ol' smitey smitey, wash them down river, bathe them in their own blood as by the will of god?

Your god promises magic tricks preformed by Ancient Egyptian Children. Try again.

Re: To all "true christians"

Nonsense. Prove it.

The chinks are a backward race of tiny little Godless slants. If they are so smart, why do they live in a cesspool? Why does Jesus hate them?

You geeks are so dumb, I swear....
