War makes me sick too Eva luna, but except for the hint (erm... Thanks?) I don't really understand what point you're trying to make? Sorry...
Anyway, I was just teasing in my first post, don't want to rip minimus' thread off topic.

Cofty, Ever considered you might be so keen to go on your heresy hunting that you jump into your lectures without first seeking to understand what anyone actually believes? Because Calvin's 15th century version of the atonement is the only way to read the gospel stories.
I thought you didn't do personal insults?

Dying for someone else is a strange concept? There's a reason we honour our war dead.

If you still believe in God, what are your thoughts on the Bible?
by ilikecheese indo you believe it's inerrant?
do you believe it's based on things that happened, but a lot of it may just be stories and it's not perfect because men wrote it?
do you think it's just a good guide?

The bible is like a conversation about God. All the authors of the OT believed Israel had been given a special vocation by their god Yahweh, but they understood that calling in different ways. So for example, Proverbs tells us if we keep god's laws we will be blessed, Job tells us this is not always true, they worship the same god but have contrasting theologies.
The NT tells us Jesus is the final point of the conversation. The purpose of the bible is to point to him and it can then be read back through him, and that is how we understand the conversation and which parts should be affirmed.
Just my 2 pence. :)

Would you go to church?
by Coded Logic ini have an unspoken rule that if someone ever invites me to a church - that i haven't been to before - i will go.
even though i'm an atheist i'm still interested in the experiance.
just like i'm not into basketball but i would like to go to a game sometime to feel the energy of the crowd.. growing up as a jw i've never set foot in another church.

All ExJWs should go to Church, even if you don't believe, it's a good way to get over those ingrained Watchtower fears and discover the lies the Watchtower told us about 'Christendom'

You're absolutely right. We should just leave ISIS alone and let them continue to spread...
Because the only options to the ISIS problem are to drop an a-bomb or to do nothing.
I suspect you might have more of a problem if you and your family were the ones who were unfortunate enough to live under a terrorist organisation or drug cartel...

But Alpha Man, your decision would kill a lot of innocent civilians who hate ISIS as much as you do, or probably more, since they actually suffer under them.
You should have a problem with it!

Only by divorcing it from Romans 12. Better off blaming whoever came up with those chapter divisions. :)

Thanks for that excerpt Terry, just war doctrine is indeed a sham.
