I have come to the conclusion that Christians are just apathetic Islamist extremists

by sinis in

...because for the vast majority of christians, if bible mandates such as stoning, etc.

were legal, they would be doing it in a heart beat.

flame me away, if you like, but i am not a christian, or even religious.

sinus - These scriptures show that Christians aren't bound by the same laws. Now if you were to assert why god allowed these barbaric laws in the first place then we could probably find agreement there.

Romans 10:4

For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness

Galatians 3:19-25; 4:4, 5;

Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now there is no mediator where only one person is concerned, but God is only one. 21 Is the Law, therefore, against the promises of God? May that never happen! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, righteousness would actually have been by means of law. 22 But the Scripture delivered up all things together to the custody of sin, that the promise resulting from faith toward Jesus Christ might be given to those exercising faith.
23 However, before the faith arrived, we were being guarded under law, being delivered up together into custody, looking to the faith that was destined to be revealed. 24 Consequently the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith. 25 But now that the faith has arrived, we are no longer under a tutor.

I believe Christians are STILL under the Law, as Jesus said he came to fulfill the law but NOT to destroy it... so the Law remains in place

sinus - read up on the subject more, this is total BS.

The true, unsung hero of the Bible....

by Unlearn in

my undisputed hero of the bible is known by several names, depending on who you talk to...devil, satan, lucifer, etc.. read it, and you'll find that he was the only one who really stood up for you.. he asserted that you could make decisions for yourself...and told you the very real truth that, just because the piece of meat in your chest stops thumping, you positively do not 'die'.. he was your hero.

he stood up to a daddy-maniac and said, 'just because you made us doesnt mean you have the right to tell us what to do.

i thought we were free?'.

It always struck me as curious why god never ressurected Job's wife and children, when he promised to ressurrect billions in the future.

GB: "We don't know if Jehovah wants us to build new headquarters, but we're doing it anyway..."

by cedars in

the latest august 15th watchtower study edition features an interesting review of the society's annual meeting.. one comment struck me as evidence that the governing body isn't quite as "discreet" as it claims.. here is what the article said:.

"there are plans to develop a 248-acre (100 ha) property at warwick.

'although we are not yet certain of jehovahs will regarding warwick,' said brother pierce, 'we are proceeding to develop the site with the intention of relocating the world headquarters of jehovahs witnesses there.

Have you ever tried Mjöd? It's a wonderful viking brew. I think we need to have a viking party in honor of Thor for his astounding victory over the ice giants. What say you?

6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own

in the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .

the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.

in the article titled , " why put jehovah's service first ?

They have been giving good gifts lately; the series a few months back on holy spirit was great material for exposing their lies too.

So typical, thanks for sharing that Flipper.

Funny thing is half of the elders in our cong have their own busines, I guess it's time to simplify more! I get so angry at these SOB's; the arrogance is so appalling from a group of eight who claims no divine inspiration, and yet feels that they have the authority to micromanage our lives like this. You have to feel guilty because your born imperfect and now you have to feel even more guilty for trying to provide well for your family too; it just never ends with these f@cking sh1theads does it?

So what does Jehovah has against Asians, anyway?

I believe he also blocked the apostle Paul from going there as well, yet the bible says that the whole world was preached to in the first century. It's all just so stupid and inconsistent.
