Why is this forum full of so many hateful "Christians"?

[Philip James]

Could be a teaching here about walking in love.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Luke 9:23. And he said to them all, if any man will come after me let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Serviam!

Peace be with you!

I don't agree with "toss it out there and see if someone can use a KJV Bible to debunk it". The tone is disturbing. It is reasonable to express one's thoughts without the intimidating thought that some KJVO will try to "debunk it". More reasonably, the topic should be discussed with all with the idea of arriving at the truth (or as close to it as possible), not attacking the person to prove one's idea is the only right one.

I say KJV so you can debate the idea with the same source, rather that pit one biased version against the other.

This is the fastest way to "blow up" a debate.

All of my English Bibles are corrupt? How long have you been an expert in the Bible Languages?

ya, i hear that a lot, but wadr you dont need to be an expert to compare a lexicon to an English translation; if the "Lord" example is not sufficient, Genesis 1:1 Lexicon: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Wadr? You'd better be an expert to declare all our English Bibles corrupt!

well i wouldnt say that the message cant still be read, but yes Englyshe scribes who also believe in Death More Abundantly are by and large the ones chosen to translate, i guess. But keep your Baal if you like, i dont think there is any sin in that. And best of luck in your quest for immortality, too!

So you reject all of our English Bibles. What do you have left? Islam?

So you believe "lexicons? interlinear Bibles, even, stuff like that" over the Bible. Could it be you just don't like our Christian Bible?

well, i dont think it hurts to seek other opinions on the original language, which a lexicon makes possible

have a nice evening ok

You too! Study the Bible. Learn about God!

 

[bbyrd009]

"God" is a pretty general term i guess; which "God" did you have in mind?

that is the term, btw, that began my education in translations; many, many Scriptural Titles are xlated simply "God" in English

God's love can be seen in his patience and longsuffering over the practice of abortion. The world is overdue for justice, their blood cries out from the earth. Many have been patient along with God, crying out in place of those who can't.

How is people showing love going to make them repent and stop abortion? God's love has delayed judgement for decades. But the generation that started this, I believe is due to reap what has been sown.

"How is people showing love going to make them repent and stop abortion?" Because we are commanded by Jesus (quoting the OT) to love our neighbor as ourselves. How can anyone call themselves a Christian and not love others? John 3:16a, "For God so loved the world..."

For the umpteenth time, abortion simply means the termination of a pregnancy. There are many reason for a fetus to be aborted, among them being fetal anomalies that would prevent the child from existing outside the womb, the mother's life is at risk if she brings the baby to term, and others.

This knee-jerk reaction to a medical procedure is not only naive, it is cruel. Try believing medical experts instead of the right wing press that depends on the ignorance and fear of their readers/listeners.

That is a deflection and doesn't answer the question as to how loving the abortionist can prevent abortions. More likely it encourages people to abort more babies.

So you choose the King James translation and say that is the only one to be used in the discussion? And you claim that other translations are biased! Really?

This is the fastest way to "blow up" a debate, since you're dictating that others must follow your rules.

Are you implying there is a medical reason for all abortions? Many are due to unintended pregnancy.

Loving the abortionist is what we're commanded to do by God. Since God loves the world -- His entire world -- why do you "kick against the goads"? Paul was filled with rage, intolerance, and condemnation on his way to Damascus and Jesus knocked him and his self- righteous, holier-than-thou attitude to the ground.

Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

If you want to disobey this command, you're disobeying God!

And many are not! (What is your source?)

There is often a medical need for terminating a pregnancy, but that doesn't enter the minds of those who find the need to judge others as being murderers. => We are commanded to love others <= God is the judge, not the self-appointed.

We can love them by giving them no delusion of being a member of the body of Christ, while murdering babies. Yet the question remains unanswered.

I find your reasoning here to be very questionable. Who said anything about hating abortionists?

Killing babies is a sin and should be a crime. This is what I believe, but it doesn't mean that I hate anyone. We can hate the evil things someone does without hating them.

What do you call someone who kills innocent humans?
