Zone1 The Great Difficulty Of Being Religious.....

Enlighten me, I'm a quick study.
We can start with the very premise of them -- they are labelled commandments as things you have to do and not because they benefit you, but because they serve God. It is completely second-handed and their motivation is threats of eternal punishment.

Just by that they have already failed to present themselves as rules to be taken seriously.
 
Why would the mods 'intervene'?
One of the moderators had to intervene in a thread in this section because the discussion was causing fundamentalist Christians to feel bad.

We don't want the same to happen to this thread, but I fear it will if the spamming and off-topic abuse of the rules continues.

We need moderator support on upholding the established rules of Section 1. It's already endangered.
 
No personal attacks please! Meriweather is a decent woman and she means well.

She's turning inward to her 'faith' as answers instead of abuse of her critics.

They all know that we hold winning hands. The Catholic church has sold their farms to Darwin!
those are madeup by a liar and murderer moses and made manifest by all three desert religions to persecute and victimize the innocent - meriweather and their false religion.

no one cares about your idiotic refuse w/ the theory of evolution - have not noticed the catholic church burning people over the subject lately, they changed their ways be happy - what is relevant is those who do embellish the persecution and victimization of the innocent and associate jesus w/ their crimes.

The literal commandments were only given to Israel. The spiritual fulfillment of them is given to the church through the Holy Spirit. If you are not in the church they don't apply to you.

As I said, you are not ready to handle the reason. I only gave you half of it and you are already shaking.

This is the last paragraph of the forum's rules.

If you have a specific question/comment about these guidelines, please PM a moderator of your choice. Thank you and enjoy the forums!

You have given me nothing new. Most people don't like to be told what they can and cannot do even if it's good for them.

Allegorically, the Catholic church burned their flock when they declared that believing Darwinian evolution was permissable. The popular belief amongst the flock was that was proclaimed ini 1996.
 
- what is relevant is those who do embellish the persecution and victimization of the innocent and associate jesus w/ their crimes.

We are in agreement here - finally!

No person should ever use the name of Jesus to persecute the innocent.

That said - how often has that happened throughout history? Did the people realize what they were doing was wrong?

Breezewood - so that you understand - there have been over 100+ billion people that have lived since Adam & Eve.

Although ONE is too many - the entirety of the "innocent" people persecuted or killed by people who called themselves Christian is less than 0.0000001%.

christianity being of the most egregious without interruption to this day ...

the no.s of deaths need not minimize the terror inducement maximized by clergy, their purpose - their 10 commandments an example.

1. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

So, you believe in polygamy? In the New Covenant the first three commandments are the betrothal and marriage vows between Christ and the church.

These commandments reflect our present marriage vows, "forsaking all others".

How many human beings have suffered and died because they had no knowledge of your "heavenly" religion?

If it is - as you say - that there has not been any contact or instruction from the heavens - would every event outside "the desert religions" be yours to blame?



Do not judge or you will be judged. By the same measure you judge others, you too will be judged.

you must be english ... american is a much better language.

- jesus knew Their fate long before They were fed to the wolves.

Theologically correct grammar. Maybe I should quit exposing those who use "they" with the singular as mentally inferior parrots whose education was wasted on them. They may just be converts to a new religion, according to which everybody is five persons in one singular person: father, mother, son, daughter, and HOLY SHIT.
