You might like to limit your Christian rants to that. Also look up what a testament is and covenant. You may learn a thing or two.
You laugh at moslems being latent homicidal maniacs and liars yet that IS exactly what the Quran teaches each one to be with non believers. Christians are not taught to do that unless you can show me where Jesus taught it. You see this is why your type always run to the old testament. Jesus Christs teachings make mohammed and islam's teaching utter lunacy compared to Christianity.
Ashley, Thank you for your contribution. But please remember that Jesus was a Torah observant Jewish man. When anyone reads the New Testament, they can find examples of Jesus encouraging Jewish people [including his disciples] to obey God's [i.e. Moses] law. Ashley, What do you think that Jesus 'intended', when he, Jesus, spoke thus ?? ; Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. An.enigmatic quote, Y. I sincerely have no idea what Jesus means by this. I’ve read it, pondered it, re-read it and pondered it again. Who knows? I might need to ponder it some more. But I’m.curious. Can you say what you think it means? I’d really like to know. Does the bible make you wet, Karnal? Here's some Carl that I rather enjoy. On the arrogance of religions that claim the universe was made for us It almost never feels like prejudice. Instead, it seems fitting and just—the idea that, because of an accident of birth, our group (whichever one it is) should have a central position in the social universe. Among Pharaonic princelings and Plantagenet pretenders, children of robber barons and Central Committee bureaucrats, street gangs and conquerors of nations, members of confident majorities, obscure sects, and reviled minorities, this self-serving attitude seems as natural as breathing. It draws sustenance from the same psychic wellsprings as sexism, racism, nationalism, and the other deadly chauvinisms that plague our species. Uncommon strength of character is needed to resist the blandishments of those who assure us that we have an obvious, even God-given, superiority over our fellows… GordyL, Regarding YOUR consciousness. Do you believe that you are conscious when you are 'awake' [i.e. not asleep] ? Do you believe that you are awake, in those moments when you believe that you are 'conscious' [i.e. self aware] ? Stupid Q's ?? Yes, that's right. And that, is because i am a stupid person. [Silly Yadda.]
