Bible Note: Ancient First you asked questions to bring the discussion to the point you want to arrive at, for me or anyone else to play into that is very unwise. Your questions also are asked in such a way that any answer than the one you want makes me look the buffoon and I’m sure you have already thought up your responses should I answer the way you anticipate. Let me just ask you something, doesn’t this following statement even make you think there might be a problem in the ideas you arrive at? Your statement, “You are correct in saying that I don't really care about orthodox Christianity. Being age old tradition doesn't make it right. The scriptures say what they say, and tradition is wrong on many points. I see something many don't see. Maybe that makes me wrong. Maybe that makes me special. Who knows which.” Then you threaten unless I play on your terms your not going to discuss this anymore. What about the terms of this forum. You have said church attendance is optional, I’m glad our forefathers thought different or I’m afraid there wouldn’t be a church today. You have laid rape, murder and mayhem not on corrupt men within the church but rather on the church itself. And you have presented a case where unless God states a commandment in New Testament using the same format as He used in the Old Testament it is really not a commandment but rather mere advice which then can be heeded or dismissed as the reader chooses. Sir I state these actions violate the rules of this fourm and are an insult to every Christian EdB |
