You don't love the Bible as you claim.
To love the Bible is to know the Bible.
You are full of false declarations
If you loved the Bible you would be familiar with these and other passages.
Deuteronomy 17:12, Exodus 22:17, Leviticus 20:13, Leviticus 20:27, Leviticus 20:9, Leviticus 20:10,
2 Chronicles 15:12-13, Deuteronomy 17:2-5, Romans 1:24-32, Exodus 31:12-15, Isaiah 14:21
I DON'T APOLOGIZE THAT I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL MURDER ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
Then you are not following the word of God, as you claim.
Exodus 22
18 "Do not allow a sorceress to live.
19 "Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
20 "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed
What about Exodus 31:14 “'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death”
So, what you are saying is that you choose to interpret the Bible any way you want. Even if we could point it out to you,
“ it certainly would not change my decision to simply REFUSE any PERCIEVED command to do so”, so it is back to the old pick the parts you like and discard what you don't like. My niece does this with her food, leaving behind what she does not like and eating what she does like. However even at her age, she knows that she is actively selecting what she wants, something you cannot admit to yourself. She does not delude herself with the fable that God is telling her not to eat onions and peas, you delude yourself with this comfortable lie and then feel free to justify your actions.
You are comparing the relationship with regular people to the relationship you have with God? You care about what your friends feel, if you believe in God, you obey without question. So yeah, you are a hypocrite, you pick and choose what you like. And maybe you can't admit it because you lack the capacity to recognize it, either because of an intellectual or emotional failing. The result is the same, you make claims but you have no follow through. The Bible is the word of God, so, and it is the recipe by which you come to know God. So if you love God (in the Christian perspective) you must love the Bible. There is no middle ground. You take offense at being called for what you are? An Unbeliever. After all you don't believe the sections I pointed out to you. Why? Because it is inconvenient to you. I don't need your answer to know what you are, it is obvious to all except you. You become conveniently blind when a mirror is held up to you – maybe you are a (metaphorical) vampire and can't see your reflection. Probably a sign of Evil.
I would never expect mercy from you. Cowards never grant mercy. I on the other hand WILL grant you mercy – just like God would. So, 3 guesses on who is closer to God?
If anyone is an agent of the enemy it is you. You are the one who is perpetually telling us about conspiracies about illuminati, aliens, UFOS and other garbage. All designed to created doubt and dissent in the faith of followers. Aside from being ridiculous, it marks you as an enemy of Christianity. Granting mercy is far better than not granting mercy as BTDT would do. Granting mercy to the weak, sick, old, those in need it is a the hallmark of humanity. Being sub-human you would know nothing about that.
You are also an enemy of free society, with your thinly veiled post fomenting bigotry, and calls for a racial war are intolerable to a free and democratic society. Any other groups you want us to hate? Blacks, Hispanics, Hindus, Muslims? Maybe you don't like Ginger Kid?
Wow! The bigot speaks again. How long before we hear you call for a Holy War to kill all enemies. What a wonderful argument, you think [sic] I am Jewish so I must be wrong. I am not Jewish, but even if I was the argument is valid and I am right. But since you are a hate mongering bigot, anything that may be Jewish is evil. How very Nazi of you.
Like I said you are still smarting about your loss in a previous debate, which is why you bring it up. Trying to make your in this forum now.
What a racist, egotistical, bigot you are.
The New World Order - a one world government? After the total collapse of the Iron Curtain, something that Christians prayed for for decades? And now they are even more afraid than they were before. Your world is filled with nuts, and not the good kind either.
Anyone believing that we are headed for a "New World Order" is living in utter fear. Fear is what controls the religious right, the fundamentalists of all religions, even though the bible is filled with "fear not" statements. Fear is what the religious leaders feed to you so you will continue to fill their coffers with gold. That is the NWO. You are a part of it, and you don't even recognize it.
Your putrid hate has no place in a Christianity discussion board.
Right that makes sense. People never make up stories, never exaggerate and humans are not capable of fiction. It is people like you that would write on ancient maps 'There be monsters here'. There is a reason why we use the term 'fairly tale' to denote a fictional story that is outside the realm of possibility, you hope to take us back to the backward “demon-haunted world” of ancient man with your stories.
The gov't will never admit to greys because the do not exist outside the imagination of a few writers and their gullible believers. Frankly when you see the infighting among between municipal, state, federal and all of their perspective departments – not only against different levels of governments but different departments. These people could never get their act together to get anything done.
Let me clue you in on something – fiction is made up. The X-Files is not a documentary. There is no N.W.O., and adverts are designed to sell products that is all. While I have no doubt your feelings are real, but they are not facts and they are not based on facts. Learn to differentiate between feeling and knowledge
Of course you could claim that this is just part of the conspiracy to make it 'appear' there is no conspiracy. It is usual for you PCTs to claim the lack of evidence of a conspiracy is proof of a conspiracy.
Scientology is the product of an alcoholic, cheating, wife-beating science fiction hack. He managed to pull one of the biggest scam by convincing his victims that a simple galvanometer (the infamous E-meter), had the power to guide their spiritual growth. The only thing the heads of scientology are in contact with is their greed.
There is no “racial unconsciousness”, there is no evidence that it exists, there is not mechanism to suggest its existence and there is no reason to believe in it. It is just another pacifier that keeps you from crying at night asking for your mommy. It gives you a feeling that you are special, maybe because without this fantasy you do not feel worthy. The feeling that Mozart describes is similar to what is described by all those who have achieved mastery in their chosen skill. It comes after years of dedication to their craft; it has nothing to do with your supernatural beliefs. The fact that Mozart wrote original music is proof enough that he wasn’t copying anything.
I suggest you study epistemology, and ontology, it may help you in making sense regarding the difference between true knowledge and false notions. You are confusing the two. Your connection is the same type of connection people feel who hear voices or believe that their dogs are talking to them.
You are spending your life creating an illusion, enemies to fight and blame and to compensate you also create this vast spiritual mythos to soothe the feelings that you created in yourself in the first place
“The strong correlation with the scale of Anomia indicates that Belief in Conspiracies is associated with the feelings of alienation and disaffection from the system. Volkan (1985) suggests that during periods of insecurity and discontent people often feel a need for a tangible enemy on which to externalize their angry feelings. Conspiracy theories may help in this process by providing a tangible enemy to blame for problems which otherwise seem too abstract and impersonal. Conspiracy theories also provide ready answers for unanswered questions and help to resolve contradictions between known "facts" and an individual's belief system.”
“Monological conspiracy thinkers do not search for factual evidence to test their theories. Instead, they offer the same hackneyed explanation for every problem - it's the conspiracy of the Jews, the capitalists, the patriarchy, the communists, the medical establishment, or whatever. In these cases, the proof which is offered is not evidence about the specific incident or issue, but the general pattern, e.g., the X conspiracy has been responsible for all of our other problems so it is obvious that they must be responsible for this one as well.”
