Ok, I've changed browser settings..
Would someone PLEASE be kind enough to, once having opened up this topic, let me know if they had the wml thing happen to them? And also try to open the last topic I posted on and say if anything goes wrong? I'll keep away if I still cause errors... Thanks. -

[I just had to reply to this..]

"Everything in this book called by men "The Bible" did not come out of God's mouth.
Since Jesus is The Word of God, anything he says is Scripture since he is simply God's spokesman.
Nothing else said by anyone else in the book called by men "The Bible" is Scripture. "
Question for RJ...
So you are saying that, of the entire Bible, only Jesus' words recorded in the Gospel accounts are the Words of God?

"Christianity is intolerant,...divisive, and extremely condemnatory. Christ was none of those things."
You've got to be kidding me. Bear those three traits in mind as you read the following quotes from the Word of God himself...
Matthew 10
New International Version (NIV)
5 "These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions:...
14 "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town."
...
Luke 9:59
"He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
...
Matthew 10:34
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother- in-law —
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
...
Matthew 12:30
"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
...
Matthew 23:24
"You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
...
John 7:7
"The world...hates me because I testify that its works are evil."
...
John 3:18
"18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son."
...
Mark 16:14
"Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

Also ABLEBODIEDMAN, would you kill the child if, after being absent and never seeing or speaking to it for its whole life, it denied that you exist?
I know this is a lot to answer, but please try to reply to each one when you get chance. -

Cofty:"What does that say about your moral compass?"
Ablebodiedman:"That everything was created by God and it is entirely up to him to decide what is moral or just.
The determination of what is moral does not belong to the people who he created."
ABLEBODIEDMAN, I ask..Why not? And WHY does God get to decide for all of us what is moral? Is it:
A) Because God said so
B) Because we owe him our lives.
C) Because He has more experience after aeons of existence, and He believes this makes him more able to decide what is moral.. Which of course brings us back to A.
....
If it is A, then He is nothing more than a ruthless dictator who kills anyone who disagrees with him.
If it is B, then our parents must have the moral right to kill us, because we would not exist if they did not create us and decide to bring us into the world.
Or if we were to create a clone of a human being, we would have the moral right to tell it what to say and think, enslave it, or kill it as we wished.
Does that match up with your belief regarding morals?
Would you let your child, or the clone you created, do what they wanted, without killing them for exercising their freedom of mind in a way that runs contrary to your way of doing things? -

Ablebodiedman, will God destroy mentally handicapped people who can't even learn or understand the Gospel?
Why does Jesus have to kill people who don't understand his message? -

((What charity shall I give the £10 to Abe? PM me. It was worth it.))
Just to repeat this..
I asked ABLEBODIEDMAN:
"Do you believe that those who don't believe in Jesus will be destroyed, when he comes at some time in the future, as stated at 2Thessalonians 1:7-9?"
He replied
"Yep!"
...Christian morality at its finest. -

Exactly, I agree. That's another good reason to always challenge religious beliefs.
