More Religious Nuts

I think you should look at the new testament. The Christian bit.

Knobby, the Old Testament is part of the Christian bible isn't it?

Yea, but you can't ignore the revisions

 

[Sean K]

Yea, but you can't ignore the revisions

You can think of them as revisions, but it's more than generally accepted that the 'Old' bits are integral to the belief system. Are you a cafeteria Christian?

It's a bit more complex than that, otherwise Church would be on Saturday.
Maybe read this.

No, my compter might catch a virus.

And no, it's not that complicated.

Yep, too risky. It's by a professor and its about Ghandi.

Are you sure about that? True, one of the ten commandments is 'Thou shalt not kill'.
The Bible tells you to kill your son if he's a drunkard.

I rarely log in at work to post, but since this is so deluded and inflammatory, I thought I'd answer before it slips by behind another dozen pages.

Care to quote any verses to back any of your beliefs about the bible? "Thou shalt not kill" is NOT one of the 10 commandments. Every english version, except the oldest has "You shall not murder".

You are criticising a fantasy version of Christianity, an illusion that you have created, to justify your attacks on Christianity.

"As if you'd follow those evolutionists, they believe you should kill the weak so the species will be stronger... How... distastefully unethical." I've never heard an Atheist say that, yet, taking the basic principles of what atheists believe, (and I am making an assumption that atheists actually believe in evolution - otherwise they'd be agnostics), it'd be pretty easy to ridicule something on a false assertion. Likewise, I have never met a Christian that beleives it's okay to blow people up, dash babies on rocks, or kill drunkards sons. Not that I see anywhere in the bible that any of that behaviour is advocated anyway.

If Christians did to Atheist beliefs what Atheists did to Christian beliefs, this is what we'd be hearing a lot more of.

You are addicted Sunder. Logging on at work LOLOL. Nice one brudda.

The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

Wow, 4 minutes after I post, you've got a reply, and you say I'm addicted?

 

[trainspotter]

Whose counting the minutes? I have OCD so therefore I AM ADDICTED.

You should read your book again.

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

My neighbour's donkey is just so damned HOT!!!!!

 

[trainspotter]

The ADDICTED jibe was a compliment too. Just thought I would share.

 

[Sean K]

Oh dear, I thought I was the only one.

 

[trainspotter]

I'm making a bee line for the male servant. I have worn the last one out.

 

[Sunder]

You should read your book again.

I read it regularly. Can you say the same? Or have you just been told about the parts you need justify avoid reading it, and enough to ridicule other's beliefs that you don't understand?

There are 66 books, nearly 1200 chapters, over 31,000 verses, and 600,000 words in the bible.

For a document of that length, it's not exactly a genius' work to find a verse and interpret it however you want.

It's much harder to read the whole book in context, and still cognitively make it say something that's inconsistent with the whole of the bible.

 

[Knobby22]

I read that a bit quickly.
What was that about a male servant, female servant and a donkey?

I've read most of it. Good story. And 6 versions of the Koran. Another good story.
