Re: Hello

I am NOT an Athiest, so if someone needs to be told that they are going to hell, it is you. I believe in and love God. This is not showing love for God this is demonizing the rest of the real Christians out there. A human is a Human and a soul is just as pure no matter the form it inhabits. You are sewing the seeds of the devil if I ever saw them.

Sounds like you almost understand God.

Re: Hello

I have never questioned whether God has reneged his promise to preserve his word to anyone, as I am sure he has, but apparently it is not all accessable to us...or did he promise that it would? because I for one have not seen where he has.

Let me see here. You believe that God has not reneged on his promise to preserve His Word, but you are challenging what is canonical and what isn't. You are claiming that God's Word is hidden, yet His Word is fulfilled to humanity?

Ryan, you aren't making much sense here.

And thank you for commenting upon my typing skills, I don't see how yours are better...I do believe God condemns hipocracy...

I have to give you high marks for breaking up your thoughts into paragraphs. It makes it so much easier to read. Well done.

As for my education, no they do not offer either one of my majors at a community college, I am getting my basic classes out of the way so I may then focus on the important classes at a larger college.

How wonderful! Maybe you will be a Buckeye someday. You can come visit my church in Columbus. It's right off the 315.

As for the age of the Earth, you are right, it is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old....it is the age of the solar system that is supposed to be 70 Billion....sorry for that, but still it is starting to change and get closer to the biblical times, which I believe are closer to correct.

The biblical times? I'm afraid you lost me there. The Bible timeline implies that the earth is around 6,000 years old, which is complete hogwash.

Perhaps you could clarify that statement before I give you a derisive dismissal.

As for my sister, she is blessed and is in no way retarded....she is smarter than me

Indeed she is blessed by our God. She will never progress beyond the mind of an eight year old. Jesus did say that if one is not like a child, they will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Still, prayer might be helpful for the healing of her condition.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

and apparently you by far, she just has no way to communicate it back...she is special I suggest you accept that much...retarded only means lack of knowledge or slow and it applies to many more people out there than it is fixed upon.

Indeed...

I have never played Assassin's Creed and don't plan on it.

Sorry, I suppose all the tinfoil hattery about the Templars threw me off. Where do you get all your top secret information about the Templars getting books of the Bible thrown out?

As for the all of the books being in the KJV bible, how do you know that what was there in the 1800's was complete?

How many hours do you have to discuss that topic? I suggest searching for the the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi if you really feel like jumping down the rabbit hole.

You don't...simple as that...is all you have is the word of Historians, which by the way are mostly Liberal, and enjoy selective research...kind of like doctors...

It's always the same with you people. Liberal bias everywhere! Nothing is true unless it is told from "our side". I take it you are one of these people who believe the U.S. actually won in Vietnam?

Last thing to address, I have read the bible, I have 1 in my car, 3 in my room, and a Electronic version on my computer thank you, and yes it is the KJV just so you don't try and change that.

Friend, I wouldn't care if you are reading the Brick Testament with pictures and all. The important thing is that you are reading the Word.

You have three Bibles, yet I have not seen you quote from any of them.

(and if you don't like my ...'s I don't really care...there is nothing in the Bible telling me that I have to type a certain way and I have learned it this way.) As I said, do not judge me...and yes I will try to find something to support that in the Scriptures.

Friend, it's mere common courtesy to type in a civilized manner. Just think of it as early training for college. Your professors will not be at all forgiving.

Re: Hello

I have never questioned whether God has reneged his promise to preserve his word to anyone, as I am sure he has, but apparently it is not all accessable to us...or did he promise that it would? because I for one have not seen where he has.

I believe Pastor Peters already SHOWED you the Scripture where He (note that we capitalize His Holy Pronouns) promised, repeatedly, to preserve His word.

As for my sister, she is blessed and is in no way retarded....she is smarter than me and apparently you by far, she just has no way to communicate it back...

I see. So she's so intelligent that she has no need to communicate with the rest of the world.

Which means, "science boy", that you have no objective way to test or demonstrate this "intelligence".

...retarded only means lack of knowledge or slow and it applies to many more people out there than it is fixed upon.

No, "ignorant" means lack of knowledge. "Retarded" refers to a lack of intelligence. Intelligence is the capacity for the learning. Your sister is mentally retarded; her capacity for learning is well below average. If she is anything like Sarah Palin's child, she is incapable of comprehending the Bible.

Anyone unable to understand the Bible cannot accept Christ.

Anyone who does not accept Christ goes to Hell.

Therefore . . . yes, your sister is more than likely going to Hell. Why do you think God wants your sister to spend eternity being tortured in the Lake of Fire He has created for that purpose?

As for the all of the books being in the KJV bible, how do you know that what was there in the 1800's was complete? You don't...simple as that...is all you have is the word of Historians, which by the way are mostly Liberal, and enjoy selective research...kind of like doctors...

Are you sure your sister isn't the only retard in your family?

Tell me, was the KJV 1611 assembled in the 1800s by historians?

Last thing to address, I have read the bible, I have 1 in my car, 3 in my room, and a Electronic version on my computer thank you, and yes it is the KJV

You read the Bible while driving? That would explain your horrific inability to comprehend any of it.

(and if you don't like my ...'s I don't really care...there is nothing in the Bible telling me that I have to type a certain way and I have learned it this way.

Where did you learn it, retard school?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

English language. In legal writing in the United States, Rule 5.3 in the Bluebook citation guide governs the use of ellipsis and requires a space before the first dot and between the two subsequent dots. If an ellipsis ends the sentence, then there are three dots, each separated by a space, followed by the final punctuation.

The Chicago Manual of Style suggests the use of an ellipsis for any omitted word, phrase, line, or paragraph from within a quoted passage. There are two commonly used methods of using ellipsis: one uses three dots for any omission, while the second makes a distinction between omissions within a sentence (using three dots: . . .) and omissions between sentences (using a period and a space followed by three dots: . ...). An ellipsis at the end of a sentence with no sentence following should be followed by a period (for a total of four dots). The Modern Language Association (MLA) however, used to indicate that an ellipsis must include spaces before and after each dot in all uses. If an ellipsis is meant to represent an omission, square brackets must surround the ellipsis to make it clear that there was no pause in the original quote: [ . . . ]. Currently, the MLA has removed the requirement of brackets in their style handbooks. However, the use of brackets is still correct as it clears confusion.[1]

)

My sister is headed to hell? HA! . . . then you are doomed because there is no person alive that is as kind and gentle as her

Note correct use of an ellipsis to indicate omission of idiocy.

Please show me where the Bible says that being "kind and gentle" gets one into Heaven.

I won't hold my breath.

The only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus as your Savior and repent of all sin. That means you sin no more.

Your retarded sister is incapable of comprehending this, as are you. Therefore, you will both spend eternity being burned alive forever in God's Hell.

No downs syndrome is NOT a mental disorder...it affects the mental processes YES. It is a genetic disorder.

Down Syndrome (not "downs") is a genetic disorder causing mental retardation.

I will not believe that God hates (in your barbaric tongue since we are practicing for the fall of Rome here) retards. God does not hate he loves.

God is all-knowing, do you agree?

God is all-powerful, do you agree?

After all, if neither of these is true, He'd not be much of a God.

This means that God knew before she was born that you sister would be a mongoloid. He chose not to change this.

He also knew before he was born that little Jose in Mexico would not have access to clean drinking water, would contract dysentery, and would die from violent diarrhea (basically, shit himself to death) before the age of three. Did God change this? No, He did not.

He knew that little Joey, the child of a crack whore, would be born addicted to crack, infected with AIDS, and blinded by his mother's gonorrhea infection. Did God change this? No, He did not.

God knew that Muslim psychopaths would fly two fully-fueled jet airplanes into the World Trade Center in September of 2001, killing almost 3,000 people of all religions -- Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists -- including children in a day care on the property. He knew people above the point of impact, unable to go down, would instead climb the towers hoping to be airlifted . . . and find themselves having to choose between jumping to their deaths or being burned alive when no choppers came to their rescue. Did He stop this horror? NO, He did not.

WHY?

Is that what you consider "love"? Allowing infants and toddlers to die horribly? Allowing people to be burned alive by fanatics?

Those people all die because GOD WANTS THEM TO. Why does God want them to die horribly and in agony? BECAUSE THEY ARE SINNERS, and GOD HATES SINNERS.

If you consider this to be "love", you have a very disturbing concept of love.

Re: Hello

It always surprises me when people say "You" believe such & such
or you "Think" that This or That is so.
Of course I might have any opinion at all, or hold any belief I like.
In the case of The Bible, like anyone else I may believe what it says or not, but that doesn't change what it says.

Often I hear people comment that others quote The Bible reference "out of context" and of course that is entirely possible to do

EXAMPLE — please do not try this at home*
Matthew 27:5 Then he went away and hanged himself.
Luke 10:37 Go and do likewise.

How terrible it would be if someone just stuck pins into random verses and followed whatever resulted! But when the context is actually provided - as is NOT tha case (above) - the naysayers seem to evaporate as though they never were!

So, yes: I, or anyone else may believe whatever we like.
"Blood is green!"
"Pigs have 5 legs!"
"The sun is square!"
"Mohammedans do not have a statue of the moon on their mosques!"
"Water is dry!"
"Frogs say 'meow'!"
"Homosexuals are ten cool!"
A veritable rainbow of crackpottedness!

I don't believe any of those things, by the way - but I could if I wanted to.

I don't have to believe what The Bible says, either.
But if I do, then it is not my opinion that I express when I quote The Bible. I don't think such-and-such. The Bible states it to be so.

That is why whenever someone says "How can you people believe such-and-such.." I am always surprised. It is not our opinion, it is what The Bible states to be so.

If you believe something else, that is your opinion. But in that case you do not believe The Bible.

If you do not believe The Bible, how do you know that Jesus existed?

Re: Hello

My sister is headed to hell? HA! Well when I joined here (as I have said, I considered it a good idea...I see I was wrong, and held my tongue until I learned how you react, but no more...this is not Christianity, this is a perversion based in idiocy...hell one place it said the Earth was flat...HAHAHAHAHA!!! That is flat out funny, not to mention plain stupid. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! The truth is right in front of you, ever see a picture of the Earth? Ever since it was discovered, the Earth's poles have been referred to as the Corners of the Earth...as for inciting debate...that is what religion is in a way....your supposed to bring people over to Christianity, not destroy everyone else...The sense of superiority you have here is as far as I can see, no different than Hitler except he had many diseases, and you don't yet...and if my sister is going to Hell (the initial thing that pissed me off beyond a doubt) then you are doomed because there is no person alive that is as kind and gentle as her...you my friend...are an idiot. No downs syndrome is NOT a mental disorder...it affects the mental processes YES. It is a genetic disorder. I suggest you get your facts straight, and no, I will not believe that God hates (in your barbaric tongue since we are practicing for the fall of Rome here) retards. God does not hate he loves.

Retards are Gods punishment for the living. They are an abomination to man and have demons in their souls. They are a blight upon decent, hard working society and have no redeeming value. Every one of them should be locked away out of normal peoples view or otherwise disposed of.

God is punishing the parents for being sinners. He has branded your family as evil and tarnished them by forcing them to have to keep a retard, much like a family dog.

Hope is not lost, however. You can start to follow His word as scribed in the KJV Bible. You can pray the retard goes away. You can stop living the life of heathens. God wants you to have a good fulfilling life. I am sure you do too. You just need to turn to Him and follow His divine guidance, let him lead you to righteous True Salvation(tm). If you do so, He will deal with the retard so so never have to again. Wouldn't life be grand not having to clean up the drool? No more destroyed plaster from it banging its' head against the wall. No more inane questions. No more rushing it off to the hospital from when it tried to answer the iron.

In closing, think about the life that God really wants you to have. Do not let the sins of the past haunt your future, You can live a normal life, if you follow Him. God wants the chance to love you. Don't you think He deserves that chance?

Dear, you make a wonderful point, but please use the REAL BIBLE in the future.

Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself
Luke 10:37 ... Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Not that it makes much difference with the point you were making.

Thanks for your comment, Mr. Campbell. I avoided the King James translation on this occasion because the example was going to be invalid, and did reference the advice about not trying this at home to the NIV footnote, which I hope was adequate.

Re: Hello

God does not hate he loves.

All of those Bibles of yours are still in their shrink wraps, aren't they? God loves, but He also hates:

Psalm 5:5: The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Romans 9:13: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Re: Hello

Being dumber than you retarded sister must be tough. I shall pray for God to heal the pair of you, or, if you're beyond repair, to grant you a swift and merciful death.

I am NOT an Athiest, so if someone needs to be told that they are going to hell, it is you. I believe in and love God. This is not showing love for God this is demonizing the rest of the real Christians out there. A human is a Human and a soul is just as pure no matter the form it inhabits.

What if they inhabit the female form? Are they equal then? If so, why does the Bible give them such an inferior status?
