He who is without sin shall cast the first stone.....

How many sins have YOU committed in the past day Raggy? You should be punished to, going by that reasoning. Some of you misogynistic views on women in the adult forum and your disregard for others in this forum come under vanity and pride, two BIGGIES in the sin department. Oh, and that 'get out of hell free card' is only good for one time. If you screw up again, there is no guarantee you get a second chance. I, on the other hand, have no worries, because hell and Satan are your concepts, not mine (as was said earlier).

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

You get what you give, and Karma is having a field day.

Rejected the Messiah


Really? Well Jews are much better company and more intelligent than Christians anyway, so I don't mind going to Hell then.


Sorry, I'm quoting myself, but...

Jews believe in God. How do they fit into your threads? You think you are high and mighty because your religious beliefs have supplanted theirs


:roll:

:lol:

Judaism and Christianity are precisely the same thing. Jesus was Jewish, He was specifically a Messiah for the Jews, all His disciples were practising Jews (as was He), who kept the law, attend the Temple feasts, spoke in the Temple services, etc. The entire Bible was written and published in Israel, and all authors were practising Jews. "I ask then: Did God reject his chosen people? By no means!" (Romans 11:1).

First were Jewish Christians being persecuted by the Sanhedrin, the all Christians were under attack by the Roman for 300 years, then the catholic church persecuted Reformers, now we have people being locked in jail for various meaningless charges which just boils down to the fact that the world doesn't want true Christians.

How soon until Christians are going to be publicly tortured and murdered by western governments again? Are you for or against this?



you're a moron.

Evidence? No, I didn't think so.

Being a true Christian gains you absolutely nothing in this world but lifelong persecution. However, being a fake Christian can gain one quite a lot in certain Western countries like America. But, of course, a fake Christian isn't a Christian, so your statement is flawed.

Ahayes is a troll, ignore him.


Ahayes, Sopho, Starbuline, greenblue, shleed...

Wow, that's a good analogy
if the bible was created by humans, then humans must have been created by other humans, therefore,
it should be dictated by God.
Now I'm convinced. 8)

Like Starbuline, you'd probably have a better idea than I about your own possible damnation. What do you think so far?

I'm thinking I'll use the Lake Of Fire sauna first, then move on to a full mud wrap. Maybe a manicure to.

Also, a true Christian is meant to turn the other cheek, and accept what is being said without resorting to insults and narrow-minded behaviour. Love your neighbour it says, means treat everyone with respect.

That's hilarious coming from you -- you whose expletive-laden diatribes against JonnyBGoode were so heinous, they were actually removed by the WP mods. 8O In fact, I probably can't even get away with repeating the highlights here as an example, they're so bad. So... what's that about respecting your debaters?

And Christians are always supposed to be ready to give a defense of the Gospel. Jesus Himself no doubt raised His voice when He called people "serpents", "hypocrites", "whited sepulchures clean on the outside but full of dead men's bones inside", "vipers", "blind guides", and informed them that, "You are of your father the devil". Jesus didn't sound very nice, did He? What do you guys think about that? You don't accuse Jesus of saying wrong things, yet when we, His followers, come close to saying the same things, we're somewhat "not being good Christians". What a load.

Heinous? Fact, my dear boy. If he wants to carry on like a self-righteous little Hitler, then I only posted the truth. Grow up and act your age.

No fantasy here. I, unlike you, am living in reality, a reality that you because of your blinkered viewpoint you cannot hope to see or understand. Come on, let's be fair dinkum here; Spouting a whole lot of stuff from a book written centuries ago that was inspired by a 'supreme' being that no-one can prove actually exists? And considering that Christianity plagiarizes virtually every other ancient belief system from ancient pagan rituals to astrology serious makes me wonder about the seriousness of the whole religion. If you can't give any physical proof that your god exists and that the bible is factual beyond doubt, why bother having a debate? All you so-called Christians jump up on your soap-boxes proclaiming that you are right blah-de-blah, and that you know for sure where you are going? EVER OTHER BELIEF SYSTEM SAYS THE SAME THING, so how can you justify you logic? Most of you would be damned on the spot for the amount of commandments you have broken and the teachings you have ignored on this forum let alone in real life, but you still go on with the same mantra that 'we are saved but you aren't'. Who gives a flying f*ck about who is saved and who isn't anyway, when there may be nothing after death anyway? Hmmmm? Open your minds to what is around you for once, and realise that you are not the only ones entitled to a 'here-after' if there is one, and maybe then you'll stop living in the dreamworld that you now inhabit.
