Re: Why Am I Catholic

It often seems that dodging questions is what unsaved trash come here to do.

Maybe this fellow would benefit from a compiled list of unanswered questions . . . and being placed on moderation until such time as he gives direct answers to those questions?

Re: Why Am I Catholic

Why would anyone be interested in the folk tales of primitive savages?

They same could be said of the bible. Didn't Cain kill Able? So let see how savage the bible is.

Isaiah 14:21-22
King James Version (KJV)
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

Ezekiel 9:5-7
King James Version (KJV)
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city

.

Jeremiah 51:20-26
King James Version (KJV)
20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

This is not only savage,but barbaric. Seem like you are no different than they are. But this is to be expected since the bible have very close similarities to theirs. Now,Paptist, why is that? Should we discuss what Joshua did?

What would we get out of reading it?

That depends on how open your mind is.

Nothing. It's not going to save anyone from Hell.

Paptist,there is no such place,read your bible. I have a question, if the devil is so bad and evil, why is god doing all the killing?

Re: Why Am I Catholic

Dear, this would only be analogous if I, like you, were interested in manipulating people (my children) for fun or personal gain. Instead, I provide a safe environment for my children to grow in the LORD so they know their choice, in hopes they choose Salvation rather than Perdition.

Also, Tomato Staking is a perfectly Biblical concept. If you think it reflect sociopathy, then you are accusing our LORD of being a Great Sociopath and we know that's not true.

Mary,the middle picture,in your Op,in that thread is not a child. It's a full grown man,aren't you are trying to manipulate people's thinking. That person has a mustache and clearly has aged skin. Give it a rest, that thread is bad enough on it's own.

Re: Why Am I Catholic

God's doing the killing because it is His will. We do not question Him. We cannot understand why He does anything except the bits He has explained really clearly in the Bible like how to breed cattle and cure leprosy and when and how to kill your children, for example.

Do not bother trying to make us ashamed of our Lord. We are righteously proud of the wonders performed by Him and in His name which ae commemorated in the Bible.

It's you that thinks we should be somehow embarrassed because you know deep down you lack faith and should really believe. Yet you lack in the trust in God that everything He did, does and will do is perfect and for His glory.

Take a look at the hope of heaven in the eyes of a starving child in Africa when he has had Jesus brought into his life just in time and tell me this is not wonderful. I pray you will see the Truth(r) before too much longer because this cognitive dissonance of yours is hard to bear.

How can you say when you personally has not asked me a question? Generally, questions I skip over are the flat out ignorant ones. And if I do respond to them, it's only to mock the poster that made it for not acting in a Christ like manner. Also,just because you don't like my answer doesn't mean I have not answered your question. That seems to be the thing that afflicts many of you on this board. And Rod,you're so vain, you may think I'm talking about you,but I'm not.

You don't know the magnitude of what you have just said here. Thank you, you are one of the honest ones here. To admit that there are things in the bible that are not clearly explain so it takes some guessing to understand them. Like the magic bears and the 42 kids.

Don't capitalize 'Him'. It's improper English.

Eh?
What's to understand about the bears? God sent awesome bears to kill the kids. He is magnificent. GLORY! How is this some sort of gotcha?

God doesn't have to explain Himself. This is clearly explained in the Bible.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Dear Friend,



I knew it!



And 18 minutes later, at 3:18 PM, YOU DID!

Yours in Him,
BAB

Don't misinterpret mocking for complaining. Since I can't respond to by PM,I do it in the forum. Yes it took 18 min, and I did respond to you. I wanted to make sure I was on solid ground before I accused you of kiddy behavior and bad English. That is something you should do,that way you won't put your foot in your mouth when you try an oppose me on a point of fact.

Embarrassed no,but you should be ashamed how to adhere to the bible in the defiance of logic. Why is it that you apply logic and common sense in your everyday like, then have a brain malfunction when it comes to your religion.

because you know deep down you lack faith and should really believe.

Are you saying that faith and belief only pertains to religion?(snickering)

Well let see. I have faith that when I pay my electric bill that the power company won't turn off my lights. I have belief in that fact that using bad gas will harm my car's engine. You see,neither one of these things deal with religion but i have them. So you hail one again.

Yet you lack in the trust in God that everything He did, does and will do is perfect and for His glory.

Atheist is what I and others call me. So yes,I have no trust in something that does not exist. Are you a Spock fan? I like his quote from the first law of metaphysics that says, "nothing unreal exist",this is my view of any God.

Take a look at the hope of heaven in the eyes of a starving child in Africa when he has had Jesus brought into his life just in time and tell me this is not wonderful. I pray you will see the Truth® before too much longer because this cognitive dissonance of yours is hard to bear.

I didn't think you all cared about blacks looking at how much fun you make of them,in the way of comments and slurs. Some of you think they should still be slaves.(according to your scripture)

And before any of you say no,not us.

What is this?

This is just a custom among religious people to do so. It's part of your effort to highlight your superstition. In no other part of literature do pronouns get capitalized. This what is wrong with all religions, people make up their own rules and tell everybody else they have to follow them.

You don't have to follow our rules.

While I do agree with you that there is only one God (1 Corinthians 8:6 among others), I do not agree that "every religion is the same" as you put it.

Here are some things other religions do that have absolutely no part in Christianity:

- wear funny hats (joos)
- pray to plaster dolls of dead people (catlicks)
- worship cows (hindoos and boodists)
- venerate fat chinaman (chinamen)
- abuse narcotics (rastafarians and lutherans)

Etc. etc.



Can you imagine a godly man like Clint Eastwood smoking a reefer while french-kissing a cow and wearing a little party hat?
