Sad Appeal to Diversion. Why don’t you address the verses already presented? We all know why.

Very well said.

I don't know. The Church is the longest continuing institution on the planet. So, there is that. I think we ought to expect the church to be out of favor with a fallen world, who embraces subjective truth and wants to be coddled in their unrepentant sinning. We all do. I prefer a modern...

Well, you post only addresses the love part, not the hate part of the question. Jesus did talk about lopping off body parts if they cause you to sin. But I don't think those words were meant literally.

Boy, you got that right! Somewhere along the line, we've become so feminized as to suppose whoever is the most offended, wins. I saw a meme that said, anyone who says something is racist, is the racist. I lived in Michigan when the SC ruled in the case that UofM could discriminate based on...

God. See GE 1. John 1 re-states that God created the world. It's just that trinitarians want to pretend the figurative language refers to someone else. No. There is only one God, the Father. The proper way to interpret John was is the fulfillment of: 15 He will raise up from among your own...

Isaiah said he was the First and the Last. See 44:6. Does that make him God also? My Bible says God created the world.

Before re-reading the verses, is there any reason why in the same chapter some of the verses cannot apply to believers while other verses apply to non-believers? Natural AND grafted branches? (it seems to me the natural branches are not unbelievers, per se, but those who believe in the OT but...

Agreed. I wonder when the Imam's will kiss the Bible, wash the Pope's feet and promote the message of Scripture in the name of inclusiveness, peace, & safety. Maybe not too soon.

I don't believe God spoke in Middle English. :p

Do you think he'll listen to me?

Sure but what of sin?

Not the things God hates is a person and their body parts used to commit sin. 16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes...

I wonder what response the OSAS crowd could give to these passages. (Sure, the temptation is great to sweep these verses aside and replace it with verses that support their doctrine).

I speak English. I am Groot.

This is probably the most common expression by Christians that is not in the Bible but is it Scriptural? I've heard strong arguments for and against this and wonder what those in our community think? Here is another article for your consideration. Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin? Why Christians...

I'm afraid your thesis has a flawed premise. Never before did I hear your premise. I've heard the Word is for those with eyes to see and ears to hear and some told they don't have ears to hear. The whole notion of someone being spiritually dead is flawed. They may be spiritually dull, lacking in...

Another figurative statement, not a claim of divinity. All prophets speak the Word of God. It does not make them God.

And this is mystical to you? Laugh in the name of Moe, Larry & Curley.

LOL projecting big time! The nature of the almighty being unitarian is stated 5,000 times. The way to properly interpret John 1 is through Deutoronomy 18:15-18.
