Well alot of people who dont study the Hebrew(old testement), and the Greek(New Testement) can misconclude many of the bible sayings that were translated by monks. Latin has caused many problems. Even worse is Catholicism, adding and interpreting what they like. But the word or Christianity shouldn't be blamed for KKK or Nazi's killing who they like saying they are doing it for God. So any group that is obviously going against what the Bible is teaching, don't murder, steal, & treat others as you would like to be treated, can't be considered what they say. Like I said, it's what you do. So I think they should be out of the picture.
When Jesus walked the earth there were no Baptists, Evangelists, 7th day, etc. And I can't see any denominations in Heaven eather. Lots will make it, but it won't matter what church they went to. So if they stuck to the word, then there'd be alot less division. Just saying this in defence of the Word itself.
Sayings like "They shall take up snakes..etc." are promisses from God to Abraham and his seed as protecting promisses. Like saying If someone tries to kill you, God would be there to help. Not meaning go try to get killed cause he'll bail you out...That's considered temping God. So the dancing with snakes thing....naaa...
I admit I've haven't looked into Buddhism that much, after reading into it I saw too many resemblences to the accult. And I had a bad expierence with the accult as a youth so I let it go.
I don't know much about how goofy religion got back then in America. My 'conclussion' was about the commandments in school and the liberality against athority that procedded afterworlds.
But I do know that in Salem some of the midwifes where spirit-filled chritians that did a very good job at healing people. And the local Religious leaders didn't like it. Just like the Pharacies didn't like Jesus healing people in the temple making them look bad. Because that was their job, and they didn't give God's love to the people. They judged and tryied to look great doing it. Times are the same. It's the people not the Word. I agree that putting the words on the wall won't change the problem, but living them will.
I couln't have said it better. Your children will do what you do, not what you say. Sooner or later that's the way it will go... Ow God! What a horable thought! 8p
You're jumping over the point, and putting words in my mouth. When I said "I don't think God cares what insults U" obviously ment what it said. Not that he's not a loving god. But if you disagree with him, it's no skin off his back. He's God, who can tell him otherwise?
And you say "Why, because God says so?" Why gives a reason, which is what I ment. Therefore there is a "why(reason)" in there for the question. You're missing the whole point looking for it.
I explained the Constitution thing in another comment, so you can read it there. Try reading the other replies before trying to say the same.
And the belief and religion thing...Well you obviously knew what I was getting at. So why try to twist it. Belief doesn't equal religion..da. You know where I was going. And if there is a god...I'd like to see you tell him there's a time and place for him...Who do you think sits higher, God or government? Never mind...
And the part about rocks and Religous schools, well a false believe in a rock stopping tigers from eating you is a strange philosophy, but I see what you mean. But I agree with the rest of the paragraph and it doesn't disagree with what I said at all.
Your reply showed to most brains of the group I recieved. I think I enjoyed your debate the best.
The fact that the Bible has sold more than anything else wan't the point. And the Koran was published all that time....Remember the rest of the world.. And don't say there's no evedence that Jesus ever lived just because a 'teacher' told you so. There is more evedence that Jesus just lived then there is evedence that you lived if you dispeared. So there's records of a man Mohammed. Just for the case you've stated, they have found documents signed by Pilot and graves of people listed in the bible at that time. Everything they find in escavations always lines up with, and proves scriptures found in the Bible. But I'm sure no one told you that. If that's not enough for you, ow well, I guess I can't prove to you Mohammed lived eather.. And the funny part you said......Yes, the perfect Christian is an unthinking, unquestioning idiot who stumbles through life with his eyes glazed, doing only what he is told to do. Sheep do that. Perhaps that's why "The Lord is my Shepard" is such a common theme. Baaa... The Bible says "Get wisdom, and with all you are getting, get understanding." That means understand what you're taking in. There is no such thing as blind faith. You can't have faith witout trust. The things that God says don't do is to protect you. So you don't get AIDS or get shot for sleeping with someone elses wife or have to goto the electric chair for murder. Most people don't have a clue what life is all about or what's really going on. In that case at least I do have a Shepard. And the rest have the blind to lead the blind. As far as religous schools go, again, it's a religion. Some rule made by teachers there that didn't follow the word, but added their own crud. I had to deal with it too and hadn't gone to church tell i was 32 because of it. Stop blaming God for what men do.
The schools are saying that Evolution is a fact. And there is no place for God. And teachers have gotten fired over this. Go ask them if the schools are taking sides. There is no facts provable about Evolution, and the sad thing is they tell you it's true and take an apes tooth and make a skull around it. Or take a skull and find a human leg a mile away and make up the rest. They won't tell you that, but if you look far enough into it, you will find the truth.
I'll say what might make sence. And leave what you won't except alone.
1. What's in the consitution was put there so the church as it was in Europe would not be government supported. The "Churchs", sad but true, where killing other Christians that did not believe in what thier doctrine said. Those churches added their own laws to the holy word. So it was power hungry people wanting controle others that worked their way to the top in those denominations. Most the signers of the Constitution where Christians that knew what could happen, that's why it's there. If they haven't banned that history from the schools yet, go look it up.
Secondly, so what if Hitler called himself a Catholic. He killed millions of Christians and Jews. No where in the Bible did it say, kill your brother and those Jews. I can take a class in gardening and still kill all my plants..Lets not go there..
And a so-so Christian is called a luke-warm Christian. You can read in the Bible about them. If anyone read the new testement they would see Jesus said I am the way and there is no other. So if anyone says Yah I believe in Jesus and Budda, then they haven't read the Bible at all. So many people call themselves Christians but won't make the choice. They are, or they arn't. Point being, it's what you do, not what you say that shows it.
Atheism- "Disbelief in the existence of God." Webster's Dictionary. If you are an Atheist, then you woundn't think of being a Buddist. Or anything. You are or you're not. Read the paragraph above again.
And the only ones being use to 'swell their ranks' are the children going to school being told their granpa was a monkey, really he was because there's no other answer that we'll except. They say it's a fact, They aren't 'so-so' about it. So don't tell me about what the horable Christians will do to those poor kids like put 10 commandments on the wall like 'Thow shalt not kill.'
50 years ago it was easier to get a gun then it is now. In the year before they took down the 10 commandments off the wall Chewing gum and running in the halls was the worst offence usually seen. Do you think things have gotten so much better?
Ok then. Let's play the cut up game......Having people tell me that some fictional deity tells me what I can and can't do is quite insulting... I don't think God cares what insults U....accept their so-called morality without thinking about 'why'... Their so-called morality? There's this book that's sold more than any other book on the Earth. It's called the Bible. It's full of answers to 'why.' Take a look at it some time. Why? Because you might learn something. Heaven forbid...8)...The school has no freedome of religious expression... Says who? The Constitution? If you look in the Constitution it is about protecting the Church from the Government governing what the church can do/say... Not "Seporation from Church and State." Sorry, not in there. Never was. Just like Clinton says: "It takes a village to rase a child." Which is a Communist saying by the way....Stalin was a priest. You forgot Hitler -- Hitler and the Nazis followed an Aryan-Christian-Mythology; not atheists... Stalin was a priest? ROFL! Maybe at one point. Hitler wanted to be an artist at one point. I know you know he wasn't a priest when he was banning religions saying what they 'believed.' You're not fooling anyone with that statement. Chirstianity is a branch of the tree of Judaism. Why would a brance try to kill the tree it comes from. Hitler was no more a Christian than Clinton is a Christian. My God man, a true Christian does what the bible says is right, and doesn't do what the bible says not to do. That's a "true Christian." And don't try to judge what it says eather. You're reading somone elses letter! It's not for you, you're an atheist, you can't understand the deviding of the word of God for the nations, jews, and those in Christ....In conclusion: you simply missed the point. Public institutions should not be favoring a single religion (or group thereof); as public institutions they should be open for all members of society. If people want the T.C. -- send your kids to religious schools where they can learn about Creationism (um, I mean "Creation Science")... Missed the point? The schools are now favoring the religion of atheism. It's a belief, it's a religion... If we all could afford to send our kids to 'religious schools' we would. you know, the one's where kids aren't getting shot... Might be those 'morals' on the wall, the 10 ones.
