***True.

**************************************************

*["AH HA................. you said that the bible is YOUR Authority, not everyone else's..."]

***Yes, it is MY authority...and it is SOME OTHER people's authority...but it is not EVERYONE else's authority. In point of fact, it is NOT the authority for MOST of the world.

**************************************************

*["SO HOW DARE YOU come here with that condesending attitude and say that everyone else is wrong???"]

***I said nothing of the sort...the Bible says they ARE WRONG.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was on earth He made some very EXCLUSIVE claims about Himself: "...I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father but BY ME" [John 14:6]..."He that REJECTETH ME, and RECEIVETH NOT my words, hath one the JUDGETH him: the WORD that I HAVE SPOKEN, the SAME shall JUDGE him in the last day" [John 12:48]..."...Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the DOOR of the sheep. All that ever came BEFORE ME are THIEVES and ROBBERS: but the sheep did not hear them. I AM the DOOR; by ME if any man enter in, he shall be SAVED, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" [John 10:7-9]..."I said therefore unto you, that ye shall DIE IN YOUR SINS: for if YE BELIEVE NOT that I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS" [John 8:24].

Most of the world REJECTS Jesus Christ:...the Muslim world REJECTS Him...the Jews REJECT Him...China REJECTS Him...India REJECTS Him...and most of the Western world only gives Him "lip service" and their hearts are FAR from Him. ALL who REJECT Him are WRONG...and WILL go into PERDITION.

**************************************************

*["Everyone is entitled to their own opinion........... and that does not make them wrong..."]

***Yes, everyone is entitled to their "own opinion"...but "opinion" is NOT necessarily TRUTH. There are untold numbers of "opinions" in the world...but all of them CANNOT and are NOT RIGHT...for there is only ONE TRUTH...and Jesus Christ is that TRUTH. Because Jesus Christ is that TRUTH...and the MAJORITY of humanity REJECTS Him...that makes THEM [i.e., the MAJORITY of humanity] WRONG!

*["ANd no, the idea of Jesus DOES NOT offend me. HOw can this man who sought to have people live in peace and died for our sins............ become what he has today .......... the reason for massacres, the reason why some people jump up and down screaming for him to bless them, the reason why so many people hate or choose to not respect other religions.......etc???? that is the part that bothers me, not his ideal, not his teachings....... they are pure, but have become tainted since."]

***The REASON that people do what you are complaining about is...because they are SINNERS...born SINNERS [Psalm 51:5]...and DO what SINNERS do...they SIN [i.e., commit massacres...jump up and down screaming for him to bless them...etc.]. Unless a person comes to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his SINS and repents...he will continue IN his sin and will PERISH. What we are talking about here is the vast MAJORITY of humanity...who have REJECTED the salvation that Jesus Christ DIED & ROSE UP from the grave for. The world is racing headlong toward ARMAGEDDON for they will NOT REPENT and come to Him that they might be saved.

I've largely stopped even reading his posts. Now I just respond to people that ask questions about him.

That's a step, thank you.

I am just tired of his promotion of Hatred ranting on every thread, the least he could do is stop spamming my thread.....

*["Right Jesus said that the 'Law' should NOT be destroyed and he also followed it.."]

***Correct...Jesus said: "Think not that I am come to DESTROY the LAW, or the prophets: I am NOT come to DESTROY, but to FULFILL" [Matthew 5:17].

************************************************

*["Do you keep them all?"]

***No...I can't...and neither can you or anybody else. The ONLY ONE who COULD and DID was the Lord Jesus Christ. Since we are SINNERS from birth [Psalm 51:5], we cannot attain to the Standard of God [the LAW]. That is why God sent His SON [Jesus] to FULFILL all RIGHTEOUSNESS by keeping the LAW...and IMPUTING His RIGHTEOUSNESS to us who TRUST in Him as Saviour and Lord. He is our RIGHTEOUSNESS for we [sinners] have NO RIGHTEOUSNESS of our own...nor can we EARN it..."For by GRACE [.i.e., God's UNMERITED FAVOR] are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the GIFT of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should BOAST" [Ephesians 2:8-9].

FACTS ABOUT THE LAW:

(A)THE LAW REVEALS OUR SINFULNESS:
(1)"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in His sight by observing the Law; rather, through the Law we become conscious of our sin" [Romans 3:20].

(B)THE LAW IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT UNDER GRACE:
(1)"For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under Law, but under Grace" [Romans 6:14].
(2)"Now we know that whatever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God" [Romans 3:19].

(C)THE LAW JUSTIFIES NO ONE:
(1)"Therefore no one will be declared RIGHTEOUS in His sight by observing the Law" [Romans 3:20].

(D)THE LAW MAKES NO CONCESSIONS; IT MAKES DEMANDS:
(1)"Cursed is every man who does not abide by EVERYTHING written in the book of the Law to perform them" [Galatians 3:10].
[NOTE: The Christian is NOT under the bondage of the Law...but is FREED from this bondage by the GRACE of God through Jesus Christ our Lord...who FULFILLED it's requirements for us...and IMPUTES His RIGHTEOUSNESS to us.]

(E)THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL: IT WORKS ON THE SPIRIT, NOT ON THE BODY:
(1)"For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh" [Romans 7:14]

(F)WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES BY GRACE APART FROM THE LAW OF GOD:
(1)"For we maintain that a man is justified by FAITH apart from observing the Law" [Romans 3:28].
(2)"Therefore, since we have been justified through FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" [Romans 5:1].
(3)"Know that a man is NOT justified by observing the Law, but by FAITH in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our FAITH in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by FAITH in Christ and NOT by OBSERVING the Law, because by observing the Law NO ONE will be justified" [Galatians 2:16].

(G)THE LAW PREPARES US FOR THE GOSPEL:
(1)The Law shows us that the FREE GIFT of the gospel is the ONLY WAY to attain RIGHTEOUSNESS.
(2)"The Law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by FAITH" [Galatians 3:24].

(H)THE LAW IS FOR THE UNGODLY:
(1)"But we know that the Law os good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that Law is NOT made for a RIGHTEOUS man, but for THOSE who are LAWLESS and REBELLIOUS, for the UNGODLY and SINNERS, for the UNHOLY and PROFANE, for those who KILL their FATHERS or MOTHERS, for MURDERERS and IMMORAL men and HOMOSEXUALS and KIDNAPPERS and LIARS and PERJURERS, and whatever else is CONTRARY to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God" [1 Timothy 1:8-11].

BOTTOM-LINE:
1. The Law tells what people are to do [our works]. It makes DEMANDS [Deuteronomy 27:26].
2. The Gospel reveals what God is doing...it makes NO DEMANDS on us except FAITH [Romans 6:23].
3. The Law is the list of do's and don'ts [Exodus 20].
4.The Gospel is the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of Jesus for sins [1 Corinthians 15:1-4].

No I haven't. But my morbid curiosity begs me to ask you what it is.

Um...no?

I mean, no.

No? Seem relative in historical terms.

"That was their law, you disobeyed it, you got punished."

Doesn't actually delve into questions of morality or human rights or such concepts, merely states that a law had to be obeyed, right or wrong, or else.

***I said nothing of the sort...the Bible says they ARE WRONG.

My Holy Text says you and you're holy text are wrong. And since it has a big sticker on its cover proclaiming its authenticity I have to believe it, which is good. I mean that way I don't have to think at all or use logic or rationality or even really listen to what other people say.

It is true it seems. Blessed is the mind that is to small to doubt.

Woman goes on a seperate date with three guys and has to figure out which is which...the gay one, the straight one or the one that's in a relationship.

Reminds me of an awful example of television we got in Australia. It tanked so hard I suspect the producers great grandparents felt it crashing and burning.

Women, 10 men. One of whom is gay man (though no one knew who was gay or not, just that one of them was) One man eliminated at end of show. Final episode - three men remain.

Apparently she then got a choice - she could choose the man she wanted some big holiday with, or, if she thought she had correctly identified the gay man and hadn't kicked him off the show earlier she could select him and win a heap of money instead. So the eternal "for love or money." Which just goes to show there is no God. Or if there is it isn't a sin to make crappy TV.
