Re: Hi

...graduated from secular college...

At least you can spell it correctly, but I still have my doubts. Most college graduates know the difference between "dissent" and "descent" (an error that, curiously, NONE of the True Christians™ [including those whose native language is not English] have ever made, despite your "knowledge" that they have only Grade 8 educations).

...I also think this is what Jesus looked like...

Nazareth is not in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the only place on earth where a skin tone like that appears.

Now I hear an objection coming: "But maybe Mary and Joseph were immigrants...". Wouldn't the Bible have mentioned something about that, if it were the case, instead of listing genealogies for Jesus (two of them, as a matter of fact [that match almost exactly]), all the way back to Adam, that include only Jews resident in the Holy Land and immediate environs? Tell us again how you DON'T reject the Bible.

Re: Hi

I don't reject the bible. I just happen to be a liberal like jesus was, voted for Obama, twice, watch Bill Maher, and graduated from secular college (which is more than I can say for you guys who have an 8th grade education and actually think Palin would ever become president in this country)

I also think this is what Jesus looked like,

I read many different opinions on this forum about Jesus' appearance and someone even said He was an "Arabic Jew" (so not happening). Don't you think we are better off with the Biblical text telling us what Jesus looks like? Isaiah 53:2, Revelation 1:9, 12-18.

Take a look at THIS, and learn something.

What do you care? You reject the Holy Word of God anyway, right?

Re: Hi

I'm not sure what that has to do with your hatred of anyone not like you.

We hate those who we are commanded to hate. Praise Jesus!

Psalm 139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Re: Hi

If pleading with people to be better is hate then I'm a proud hater.

Re: Hi

But all your members hate blacks, homosexuals, lesbians, atheists, Muslims, Jews, Pastafarians, Arabs, liberals, democrats, secular, etc, etc.. All I've seen from these forum members is hatred.

Just because you're unable to recognize True Christian(tm) Love(r) when you see it, you call it hate.

If these people really hated anyone, why would they spend so much time, effort and MONEY (webservers and software licenses are not free) to show people how much God hates them for being the way that He created them?

So hate, to you, is not letting you run into a burning building without first telling you it is on fire and love is letting you feel comfortable while you burn to death??

Sorry. You ask too much, pal.

Re: Hi

Is it hatred to tell people they are going to Hell for their choices?

Would it be hate to call a man a fool for running into a burning building to play the Nintendos?

Re: Hi

No, you can't.
If you don't believe, you are nothing but a hateful sack of filth.
We Christians have no tolerance for hatred.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3

Re: Hi

Hey Mikael. You seem to have your shit together. Splendid for you.

As to the rest of you... I find it rather funny how you say you have no tolerance for hatred, yet you hate everyone who disagrees with you on any small thing. It's rather hypocritical, no?

People disagree with me all the time. I don't hate them.

But when people disagree with Jesus, you better believe He hates them!

2nd Chronicles 15:13 "That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."

Jesus sees you.

Why do you hate us? You never came out and said it, but your words didn't sound like "can't we all just get along?"

Now who's the hypocrite?
