Paul murdered and incited murder of Christians, he stopped doing it
And ruined the Way in the process. But, hey, change is change.
You are wrong once again about Paul, you say he didn´t want anything to do with them, he preached to them.
Anyone can preach. Jesus actually hung out with people outside of sermonizing.
I'm going to shamelessly sidetrack the conversation here for a second...
I have been duly chastised in the great nerd war, LOL. I only saw the movies.

Children outside of marriage was once immoral, now it is moral.
It's always been more moral for the man than the woman.
Drug addiction was once immoral, now it is becoming more and more moral.
Drugs were a large component of many religions.
Read Revelation and tell me the guy wasn't wasted.
Aggression against those who speak about an idea was immoral, now it is moral.
How do you figure? The bible and the rest of human history describe LOTS of aggression against ideas.
The freedom of speech was moral, now it is immoral.
Since when? Are you confusing the Constitution with reality?
No it's not. It's available from YouTube. It can be searched on YouTube. It's brought up if any of the words are searched for. Who published it?
JW.org. If it's not intended for public distribution, then
why did your church publicly distribute it? Oh, but it's "for your kids". Well what if my kid sees it too, and is now scared of your vengeful child-god in the sky? What do I tell them if they start worrying needlessly that their toys are evil, because this trash video told them so?
Telltale Atheist has a lot of responses to them. Dear GOD, they are horrendous (the original vids, not the responses). He made a good point that in many of these cartoon ones with the one family, it's never GOD who is upset with the kids, but usually MOM. GOD never appears in the videos. The kids are only being told by their parents that GOD wants whatever.
Stated where? Biblically, that is, not JW literature. It's crystal clear from Job - I even color coded it for ease - that Satan cannot act without permission from Yahweh. So he is not given "free access" to act of his own accord.
Yeah, he's not Maleficient. All the angels were invited to the inservice. He was an angel, so he showed up because God told him to.
This contradicts your claim that Yahweh granted him free reign to sow chaos. If your god wants to remove rebels from his plans, he - supposedly all-powerful - would remove them.
Yes, the majority of the bible would be just a few pages if God actually used any of His superpowers in an intelligent way.
Your hunger for a villain past your own shortcomings casts a darker shadow on your god than anything I've said, and relegates his temperament to your whims and biases.
Amen.
What kind of god feels threatened by make believe and imagination?
The kind with no real objective existence. If you don't clap your hands, Tinkerbell dies.
First, we know we are right because God says so.
God's not the bible. Is He trapped in there, do you think? Maybe Ragin' has some sort of incantation we can use to free our wonderful Lord from the pages of a book.
In any event, I humbly submit that if any church is having or is concerned with a doll overpowering Christians and their faith, then the problem may be with the religion rather than a powerless Holy Spirit.
It was blasphemous enough to say that God can be chased out of human schools. Now God can be scared of action figures. This WAS the God Whose armies were defeated by chariots of iron, though, so I guess we shouldn't have been TOO surprised.
We are all free moral agents, so continue to carve your rocks, chant your spells, use the power you may have tapped. I guarantee you that you will know without a doubt, the answer to Christś question ´what is truth ?¨
Truth is Power. There is only Power. Who uses it in what name is ultimately irrelevant to the history of the universe.
It is written that faith can move mountains.
And yet Jesus never does while Kid Krishna picks one up like an umbrella.
The boy had none of these things. It was purely his imagination.
Yeah, when Chucky starts talking to you without his batteries, THEN you can worry.
It is not magical. Its a toy. The mother is using the toy as a way to teach witchcraft. Instead, the mother should clarify the Difference between imagination and witchcraft...
The mom would be this person, definitely:
Idiot thinks Spielberg killed a triceratops
Our Infant schools are for kids up to 7 years, after that they become juniors.
I've heard of infantilizing people, but that's just sad.
We all love to hear childless folks telling the World about rearing kids!
All adults should have been kids at one time and can tell from how they were raised what worked and what didn't. Also, I have a degree in psychology and child development was an easy A for me.
God is the author of all right, satan is the author of all wrong
According to whom and with what biblical justification, since God does PLENTY of horrible things and all Satan can really be accused of in the scenes where he actually appears is being a dick who brings up things no one wants to talk about.
I also remember narrowly avoiding a red belly black as a kid, just in my cousin's backyard!
My brother and I (and some neighbor kids) got into trouble because we were using a REALLY long branch to touch a large snake (I dunno, maybe 3-4 feet long) trying to get up a tree. Turns out it was a copperhead. My father, narcissistic sociopath that he was, still beheaded and kinda creamed the poor thing to protect us. I don't even like killing snakes NOW. They do their job and I do mine and we'll all be fine.
Isn't associating 'the occult' with an action figure overacting a bit?
Funny how it's never occult to say a book is literally God's Word.
