Maybe the same reason that he approves of torturing and raping the innocent apparently?

He does, and we have the Biblical proof for that.

Numbers 31:17-18
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Psalm 137:9
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Sorry, but the way I see it, following the atrocities of this abusive cult-esque following would land me in hell far faster than any whore-mongering or defilement.[/QUOTE]

You haven't provided any proof that God actually did change His mind and abolished the OT rules. Would you care to provide me with a Bible quote to prove me wrong?

Uhm excuse me? God didn't have those people tortured and raped for no reason. Just because you don't know what that reason is, it doesn't follow that there is none.

Re: Hi, how are you

I have read the bible he gave me from cover to cover . . . I am at a loss as to which teaching of god is the correct one as I am unfamiliar with the differences and am trying to give each one it's fair chance.

So your reading of the Bible didn't lead you to the conclusion that Baptists must be right? Did you read it with your eyes closed?

As for Leviticus' laws.

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why said "it is finished" when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don't have to circumcise their sons (god's covenant with Jacob), that is why they don't have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god's law and say they are rules we must follow because they are saying what God or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was invalid and that he died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws.

That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn't good enough for you.

I believe your answers have all enlightened me enough about Baptism.

Maybe you should actually read the bible before you start quoting it, as the implications of your action go deeper than you think.

I wrote a thread for fluffy-bunny Christians like you who don't believe the Old Testament applies anymore: You can’t be a Christian if you don’t believe the Old Testament.

Re: Hi, how are you

Oh, hello there. Welcome. You're being insolent and rude. I don't like you.

I like you, because Jesus is in you. Step down from your high horse and prostrate your sorry self in front of the Jesus that is in me or remain unsaved trash!

G'day me little fosters swillin' bogan, speaking to True Christians in this manner will get you nowhere. You need some humility young lady, and, more than likely, a good spanking.

Ooh, look at Tania ignoring the important part of the reply. Maybe that's because she's afraid of the Truth? Jesus wants you on your knees, child, and you need to accept that if you don't want to burn in hell for eternity like your heathen father who 'doesn't care' what you do. Listen to these True Christians- they're worth more than you.

You can yawn at me but will you yawn in the face of eternal damnation? I doubt it. Repent. Look to these True Christians as guides.

Re: Hi, how are you

Yawn...

A perfect summation of your attitude entirely.

Reading this thread has been an assault on my Godly eyes. Since you've been here, you've led us on by at first suggesting that you love Jesus, only to deny Him in favor of atheist questions, a rotten attitude, and nonsensically clueless dribble and suggestive tones.

I think you may need to up and go search out a forum for fickle women with too much time on their hands, as this is certainly not it.

Oh, yes, I can picture it now. You burning in hell impaled on satan's barbed tallywhacker.

I will pray that you come to your senses and allow God to fill you to overflowing with His conditional Love.

Did you come to be like that by receiving regular whippings or did you hit your head on something?

Why all the hatred, friend? Would it kill you to be NICE for once in your life?

Did Sister Basilissa say that whippings are disrespectful? No: she asked you why YOU are disrespectful.
