Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Are you saying that you are perfect? Because the only thing that is perfect is God

How do you know if God is perfect or not, boy? You haven't studied the Bible and you haven't given your life over to His onlybegottenson, Jesus.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

That's a great Bible verse that would be relevant if we hadn't removed the plank out of our own eyes, but we have.

How did we do that, you might ask? I respond with "1611 King James Bible."

Wouldn't you like to be one of those who responds as such? It's easy. Read your Bible, Praise God!

I've read it cover to cover, literally a dozen times. And I'm not even a True Christian yet. But I keep listening to what they say and learning: read the Bible. Read the Bible. And that's what I keep doing.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2*For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3*“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4*How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5*You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5)

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Ha ha ha well that's like saying you're "quite a bit" heterosexual but not entirely. Son, you know what? That would mean you're gay.

And if you're gay, you're going to hell. If you haven't read the Bible, you're going to hell. Same thing. Better get reading.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

"Jesus does not hate anyone."

That's not true. God hates the sin AND the sinner, and Jesus is God (John 10:30 I and my Father are one.).

Lev 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Hosea 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

Please read the WHOLE Bible before it's too late.

Before you complain about the the fact that the verses I cited were from the Old Testament, as if that somehow makes them worthless, consider this:

In the Old Testament, it says that God hates "all workers of iniquity" (Ps 5:5).

In the New Testament, what does Jesus say that he is going to do to these workers of iniquity? Is he going to love them? Is he going to be their pal, and tell them that it's ok to be themselves? Let's see...

Matt 13:41-42 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I pray that you have found this enlightening.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Why what? Why do I believe that Jesus was loving? Because that's how I was taught and that's what it says (not word for word) in the versions of the bible that I have read and been taught

But how can you know if you've just read selective passages?

I'm just wondering.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

While I haven't read it in its entirety, yes, I have read quite a bit of the bible

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

I don't hate anyone, I dislike people. My parents named me after an pretty famous Irish poet. I don't see how Obama is trying to turn anyone into a homosexual, but I also don't concern myself with politics. I don't like Hitler and if there's a God, I believe that he has received his judgement.

If Jesus hated people, so be it, but I think that Jesus was loving.

Why?

[dylan mcmullen]

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Don't you hate anyone Dylan? Don't you hate your parents for naming you after an old washed out joo folksinger? Don't you hate Obama for trying to turn you into a queer? Don't you at least hate Hitler?

Why won't you allow Jesus to hate a few richly deserving folks too? He knows more than you do, son.

Think about it.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Of course you reject Jesus. Even the most sad-sack fluffy bunny "christian" who goes around spouting John 3:16 every other minute knows that.

If you don't rejoice in Him 24/7, you are basically spitting in His face.

But hey, all He did was die (briefly) for your sins. No biggie, right?

[dylan mcmullen]

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

Interesting. While you were reading about the majesty of God and His creation, what made you decide to reject Jesus?

YiC,

Zech

I don't reject Jesus. I just don't believe that there is enough evidence for me to believe in a higher power. I do follow the teachings of some religions though (i.e. Loving your neighbor as yourself and trying to be the best person you can be)

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

I hear a lot of people say that their God hates certain people. I believe that if there was one, He would love all of us since we are all supposed to be his children.

I don't seek out any religion because I don't think that there is any definitive evidence of a higher power.

So in other words you want to make God up as YOU want to imagine Him, and not how He presents Himself to us in His Holy Word, the KJV Bible.

Don't you hate anyone Dylan? Don't you hate your parents for naming you after an old washed out joo folksinger? Don't you hate Obama for trying to turn you into a queer? Don't you at least hate Hitler?

Why won't you allow Jesus to hate a few richly deserving folks too? He knows more than you do, son.

Re: Hello. I'm Dylan

If God loves everyone, why will He send the vast majority of people to Hell? That doesn't even make sense!
