    Blaspheming The Holy Spirit!

    What's wrong with human traits? Why is it necessarily bad to feel jealousy if you're jilted? Why is a "Supreme Being" supposed to be above that? Why can't he have feelings? What if being made in the "Physical image" means also being endowed with the same kinds of emotional chemicals and...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    Well then, a man's righteousness and conduct and obedience should be measured by God just like claims of his "faith", right? I should not have to prove some quantifiable measure of such righteousness then, and we should go by the general statement of Jesus that it has to exceed the Scribes and...

    The OT = UGH

    What are you saying is racist and ignorant, the context of the story? You want to erase it from the Torah and just pretend the Jews inherited Canaan by kindly asking the Canaanites to leave? Or do you want the Torah to read "And so the peace loving Canaanites were brutally slaughtered by the...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    And ahem...follow the Torah (Cough cough).

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    And you are wrong. The Book of Revelation is much about condemning false churches and false teachers. Paul's epistles are also much about condemning false doctrines. Jesus himself is much about condemning false beliefs of the Pharisees. John's epistles say to not even politely greet or say...

    The OT = UGH

    The context of the story is that they angered God with their practices like Cannibalism and Incest and child sacrifice, warranting their destruction. And he gave them time, until their "Iniquity was complete", whatever that means, most likely means going past the point of no return and being...

    Danny Ayalon denies the existence of Palestine

    The day I see the Palestinian-supporters clamoring for Jordan to no longer be the Hashemite's private fiefdom and for it to return to being "Palestine", and stop excusing it or making apologetics for this post 1922 private Empire of the Monarchy, is the day I'll take them somewhat seriously...

    The OT = UGH

    The context of the story is that they are not innocent. The Israelites had to wait for their "iniquity to be complete". If you are saying they are innocent, you are changing the story to fit your nice little strawman to burn down.

    The OT = UGH

    So you admit that you need to change the intended point of the story to feel better or to maintain your interest. That's fine and all, but it's not really helpful for an honest debate.

    Blaspheming The Holy Spirit!

    Whatever. Your comparison is not even close to being on cue to the example I described, but have it your way. If you think its infantile to assume that God has the same feelings a dejected Father or betrayed husband might have, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But I don't see...

    Christians..."Trinity"?

    Right, they are CAPABLE of sinning. Just like God and Jesus are CAPABLE of sinning. There was no magic force which prohibited Jesus from sinning. It was purely his own free will of which he was perfectly obedient to the Law and Commands of God. But the ones who refused to sin, would they...

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    Once again, the concept may be interpreted as the end result of a series of ages instigated by the arrival of the Messiah. For instance, the Jews are now returning to the Land of Israel. Likewise, the number of Monotheistic people who believe (or think they believe) in the same god as the...

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    Or he intentionally left it up to interpretation to test people. Besides, that would apply to the Talmud itself with all those conflicting Rabbinical opinions.

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    As I've said, the exact meaning of the prophecies, and which verses are prophecies are actually such to begin with, is not as clear as some would like you to think. On both ends. However, keep in mind that there were many thousands of Jews at the time who DID believe the prophecies had been...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    Oh it's not complicated, I see. And of course, you think you're done with the milk, because you have your own view on what it means. Have you even drunk the milk or do you think you never needed the milk in the first place? Because I know for a fact you do not do as Jesus teaches or follow his...

    Blaspheming The Holy Spirit!

    Why don't you try actually addressing what I said instead of a strawman. Unless of course that strawman is completely necessary for your rhetoric.

    The OT = UGH

    Okay, so you're NOT reading it in the intended context. Got it.

    The OT = UGH

    Are you reading it in the context of what the book paints the story as or are you reading it through a post-modern view in which you're thinking the author is falsely villifying the conquered people?

    Danny Ayalon denies the existence of Palestine

    That's fine. Just don't expect the "peace process" to progress without doing so.

    Danny Ayalon denies the existence of Palestine

    By all means please present a non-Jewish source that demonstrates a distinct cultural and national entity within the region of "Palestine", and by all means, please present a distinct border of this "Palestine" before 1918. That'd be great. But while you're at it, try to make it a...
