- MT 10:34-37
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36And a man''s foes shall be they of his own household.
37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
LOOK!! JESUS HAS COME TO TEAR YOUR FAMILY APART!!
HE HAS COME TO BRING THE "SWORD" AND SET FAMILY MEMBERS AGAINST EACH OTHER IN HIS OWN NAME!!!!
INCREDIBLY IMMORAL!!! - Reply to this comment

Ricky boy, while you were busying yourself worrying over my God, did you bother reading those passages condemning usury?
Sure hope you aren''t collecting or paying interest on money (usury), otherwise, you are going straight to hell. . . (so sayeth the book of pornography). - Reply to this comment

On the contrary, you and jankebenz are the ones pretending to be Gods, not I.
Given the fact God does not exist, when you claim to be telling others what God wants or demands, what you are really doing is asserting your own wants or demands.
If God wants something from me, he doesn''t need your help.
BTW, I was baptized more often than most people go to church (we moved a lot), and, according to Baptist doctrine, once saved, always saved.
Isn''t that great? I can do whatever I want and still go to heaven. . . (hmmmm...) - Reply to this comment

As I stated earlier on another post, according to the Bible, the Biblical God is a homicidal, paranoid-schizophrenic, obsessive-compulsive, psychopath. The Christian version is also suicidal.
If that''s the kind of imaginary entity you want to worship, be my guest. But, you should be thankful it does not exist. - Reply to this comment

1. I asked a dollar bill (my God) about what you said and it didn''t say anything at all.

- Tucker-- good works are great but done without the love for God are of no relevance as follows
The objection has no validity. The gospel of salvation by grace shows that good works are necessary. It is true, unchangeably true, that without holiness no man shall see the Lord. "Neither adulterers, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards" shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Works are "good" only when, (1) they spring from the principle of love to God. The moral character of an act is determined by the moral principle that prompts it. Faith and love in the heart are the essential elements of all true obedience. Hence good works only spring from a believing heart, can only be wrought by one reconciled to God (Eph. 2:10; James 2:18:22). (2.) Good works have the glory of God as their object; and (3) they have the revealed will of God as their only rule (Deut. 12:32; Rev. 22:18, 19).
Good works are an expression of gratitude in the believer''s heart (John 14:15, 23; Gal. 5:6). They are the fruits of the Spirit (Titus 2:10-12), and thus spring from grace, which they illustrate and strengthen in the heart.
Good works of the most sincere believers are all imperfect, yet like their persons they are accepted through the mediation of Jesus Christ (Col. 3:17), and so are rewarded; they have no merit intrinsically, but are rewarded wholly of grace.

Jesus did not exist as depicted in the Bible. The Bible is a very poorly written book of fairy tales and legends. The essence of the Bible is pornography.
When you blather on about Jesus, you demonstrate your ignorance of the subject matter.
If you want to believe in magic blue rocks, Superman, Jesus, or any other imaginary, fictional creation, that''s your choice. And, I''m happy for you that you found the crutch you needed to help you with your disabilities.
But, I''m not similarly disabled and have no need for imaginary friends to make it through life. - Reply to this comment
- favorite one for the Bible thumping moralists is the story of Abram prostituting his wife Sarai to the Egyptians.
That story seems to be overlooked when they busy themselves tending to other people''''s "morals."
(of course, they deny what the Bible clearly says Abram did, but what else would we expect?)

the bible says that no one is without fault ( exept Jesus ) that includes abram, you and me ,thats why Jesus came into the world to die for our sins so we can be counted righteous You claim to know the bible after 30 years as a christian but you reject the whole essence of the bible which is Jesus - Reply to this comment

We disagree regarding her cowardice.
Anyone who asserts "if there be a God" while continuing to publicly proclaim faith is a coward.
Despite all the propaganda to the contrary, doing "good works" is not unique to people who believe in imaginary friends.
Warren Buffett (atheist) and Bill Gates (cowardly atheist = agnostic) have contributed far more to helping others than any other people in history.
And, they do not rely on handouts from peasants in Mexico (other poverty laden predominantly Catholic nations) for their subsistence while they do their "good works." - Reply to this comment
