Re: Hello Everybody

The LORD has never inflicted me with a staph infection, either during any of my many pregnancies or any other time. Illness is a means of communication, a loving correction, as a father lovingly corrects a son (Proverbs 3:11-12).

So are you saying that you have never gotten sick or went to the doctor? Also,why are you using scripture to speak for you? This implies that you would also let your children suffer.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: Hello Everybody

No,I just showed her that your religion is not free of guilt by any stretch of the imagination. Did Jesus say let he who is without sin cast the first stone?
many of you seem to be throwing stones in a glass house.

Irrelevant though it is, True Christians™ are without sin. You should know this, since you seem to have cracked a Bible once or twice.

Yes I do believe this, and I don't recall saying what me beliefs were.

So then you do believe that the Muslim belief in honor killing their daughters should be respected, right?

And also that the belief that homeopathy is a valid treatment for cancer, that should likewise be respected?

Yes or no. Please answer, instead of trying to redirect the conversation.

It is easy to pick a scripture to prove your view,but it is harder to say,and admit to the contradictions. By now you should know that I can provide proof to defend what I've said. Just let me know if you need me to. Wait, aren't you an Atheist? Why are you defending this?

Cursed is not an atheist, and he knows not to capitalize "atheist".

Even your own people will tell you not to capitalize it:

The most creative excuse I've seen for misspelling atheism and atheist is that it's supposed to be a sign of "respect." I've been assured that the person really did understand that atheism is merely an absence of belief in gods, but was convinced that atheism deserved to be treated with the same respect as Christianity and thus should be capitalized just as Christianity is capitalized.


This excuse is so weak that I hardly know where to begin with it. Perhaps it's sufficient to point out that capitalization in English has nothing whatsoever to do with "respect" and everything to do with separating out proper nouns. If a person really does believe that capitalization is done out of "respect," then they don't even comprehend basic English grammar and you should beware of them even more than if they merely didn’t understand atheism.

Re: Hello Everybody

Our only purpose is to be faithful unto the LORD.

I get this and understand it. I have no problem with you believing what you believe. As I said, I responded to a challenge that a member made concerning the board's content.

Perhaps it will help to note that Mr. Much is a hell-bound atheist on this site. He gets no more special privilege than you. I expect the pastor will take care of him personally later.

With that being said,I still think civility should be the high ground that is taken in this type of discourse. I don't say I don't cuss, I just don't cuss on any board,it's a standard I have set for myself.

Re: Hello Everybody

I take it you are talking about Psalms 119:1-4? I take this to mean that you are without sin. Pride is a sin along with 6 others. Do you think you are without sin? But let me direct you to Corinthians 13:1, and ask if you can show supporting scripture to show that you are perfect and without sin.

So then you do believe that the Muslim belief in honor killing their daughters should be respected, right?

Respected,yes, agree with it,no. I respect your religion but disagree with beating your wife for her disobedience, or things that are out of her control. I also disagreed with the Salem Witch Hunts,but I respect your religion. I disagreed with the Catholic church in their treatment of Galileo,but I respect the religion.

And also that the belief that homeopathy is a valid treatment for cancer, that should likewise be respected?

I don't believe in it but I respect the people that do. It is no different than when a member on here said that they will pray to God to heal them of their illness. And that running to the doctor promote weakness and sympathy

Well what if that illness is life threatening?

Yes or no. Please answer, instead of trying to redirect the conversation.

This question you have asked I have answered ad-nauseum.

Cursed is not an atheist, and he knows not to capitalize "atheist".

You are correct,I got him mixed up with the other poster. And I have seen this behavior many times,it's a way of showing contempt. But does this really have any effect?

Atheist is a noun,it's also the beginning of this sentence. I walked away from the church because man was making up his own rules,what make you think I would follow his? Anybody can make a rule.

No. I'm talking about 1 John 3: 6-9.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

I would never say I have never sinned; but every True Christian(tm) is without sin. Once washed clean, and having full understanding of the Truth of the Lord's mercies, we are no longer able to sin.

Respected,yes, agree with it,no. I respect your religion but disagree with beating your wife for her disobedience, or things that are out of her control. I also disagreed with the Salem Witch Hunts,but I respect your religion. I disagreed with the Catholic church in their treatment of Galileo,but I respect the religion.

I don't have a wife, thank you, but if I did I would engage in domestic discipline. That's not "beating your wife".

Google "Christian domestic discipline" and learn something.

Why would you respect Catholicism? Why would you respect Muslims? Are their beliefs not irrational?

I don't believe in it but I respect the people that do. It is no different than when a member on here said that they will pray to God to heal them of their illness. And that running to the doctor promote weakness and sympathy

Why would you respect people who believe in homeopathy, which has been proven through experiments to be utterly worthless, and who allow their children to suffer needless illness because of their irrational belief?

This question you have asked I have answered ad-nauseum.

No. You danced around it ad nauseam. You only just now actually answered it: You respect ridiculous, irrational, and hateful beliefs.

This is because you, as an atheist, have no moral compass and can't comprehend that there is such a thing as right and wrong.

Atheist is a noun,it's also the beginning of this sentence. I walked away from the church because man was making up his own rules,what make you think I would follow his? Anybody can make a rule.

Yes, "atheist" is a noun. And it's appropriately capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or in a title.

Nobody gets to make up his own rules of American English grammar. If we could, then I could say that "the slow black cat crawled under the hyperactive green toad" and you might understand me to say "the quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog."

Re: Hello Everybody

Dear, Sweet, Idiot,



I quoted John 8:7. You quoted John 8:7. Yours is different (wrong!) because you used the wrong version of the Bible.

King James Version only, rube.

Yours in His Snickering Behind Your Back,
bab

Just admit you gave me an infraction for no good reason and be done with it. Better yet,give yourself one for not knowing your Bible. Below is the same text from the same version.

Notice how it says "Jesus", and not "John". So again,it was Jesus that said it,not John.


John 8 (King James Version)


John 8
King James Version (KJV)
8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

Re: Hello Everybody

Why is this idiot asking us if a man is wrong for disciplining his property? What's it to us how a man gets his help meet to perform properly? Does he expect us to be ashamed of our Lord?

[Levi Jones]

Re: Hello Everybody

Yes he did. You should read a little further in to make sure you are right before showing your lack of knowledge about the Bible.

Please don't take credit away from Jesus.

Well, aren't you becoming born again again? How does it feel? Clobbering sinners over the head with the Bible.. It's great isn't it? Don't you miss it?

To answer your question, the pericope adulterae was not in the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament. It was likely a 5th century addition.

Also the word for writing is the same as scribbling or doodling in the Greek there.

Yours in Christ's perfect logos,

Re: Hello Everybody

If God wants our children to be sick and to suffer then we should all pray for deliverance.

Even secular courts sometimes recognise that the power of the Lord is the one that should be heeded.

Two parents have avoided jail after admitting they let their son, 16, die in horrible agony because they chose to 'pray away' his burst appendix and refused to take him to the hospital.Russel and Brandi Bellew, age 39 and 36, of Creswell, Oregon, pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide on Tuesday and were sentenced to five years probation after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors.*The couple, who had seven children before Austin Sprout's death, are members of the General Assembly and the Church of the First Born in nearby Pleasant Hill, which shuns modern medicine and teaches parishioners that faith healing and prayer will cure disease.

The holy spirit was at work to see that the court knew their actions were from God. GLORY!

Would you call being spiteful, acting out of malice, or being too prideful as sin?

I don't have a wife, thank you, but if I did I would engage in domestic discipline. That's not "beating your wife".

I didn't mean you personally,it was the wrong use of the word.

Google "Christian domestic discipline" and learn something.

Thank you for this information. I found this on one site.

The application and practise of DD in each marriage is as unique as the individuals who make up that marriage. There is no "One Ring of Power" in the Domestic Discipline world, to which all DD couples must bow; no singular path to "true DD enlightenment". What works well for one DD couple may not be a good fit for another marriage. Therefore, you may see many different suggestions espoused on this site and elsewhere.

Inside this paragraph lay the means for a husband to do what my co-worker did. Also he failed many of the criteria for the husband. You members on here assuming that he upheld his part of the bargain, and that he had here consent. I saw no where,in any of the sites I entered said that closing your wife's eye, and breaking her jaw was CDD.

But he used it as his defense and other Christians agreed to a certain extent. it's obvious I didn't agree with any of it.

Why would you respect Catholicism? Why would you respect Muslims? Are their beliefs not irrational?

No more or less than yours. Are you saying that you religion has no guilt or blood on it's hands?

Why would you respect people who believe in homeopathy, which has been proven through experiments to be utterly worthless, and who allow their children to suffer needless illness because of their irrational belief?

Because I respect you and your religion. I say again, you have a member that says that if they get sick, they will pray to get better. What is the difference? I makes me mad when I hear that a child has to die because their religion forbids any kind of medical treatment, and I guess that is the real test of faith.

This is because you, as an atheist, have no moral compass and can't comprehend that there is such a thing as right and wrong.

You do not have to believe in any religion to be a moral person. How do you explain Paul Ryan's admiration towards Ayn Rand who an atheist if she didn't have morals?

I'm sorry that you don't believe in God's promises to us in the New Testament. I'll pray for you.

James 5:13-15
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Ayn Rand had no morals. The Lord has been tugging on my heart strings for a while about this. Christians need to choose between her or Jesus.

I had strict parents, you were rarely called twice, and the only thing that came out of your mouth was yes mam/sir and no mam/sir. And yes, we got the switch. But we were not beaten, we didn't have broken bones or burn marks on our legs. I believe in spanking, the belt, and punishment, but that is where it ends with me.

And I get compliments on my kids behavior all the time. Child discipline is need but it can go too far, there are plenty of abused kids to prove it.

Re: Hello Everybody

Of course they are.

Thank you for this honest answer, because the last infraction I got was given due to one of those sins. He knows who I'm talking about, and what I'm talking about. So his actions in my opinion has imbrued the concept of True Christians being perfect.

I'm the sinner, how is it that he is above me but I know the Bible better than he?

I am not aware of any wars Baptists have started. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

It all depends on if you consider yourself as being part of the Protestant churches.

Ayn Rand had no morals. The Lord has been tugging on my heart strings for a while about this. Christians need to choose between her or Jesus.

That is not what Paul Ryan says and think. Are you saying that Ryan is not of the church?
