Cmon FT .... stop the avoid, distract, derail, distract, etc. Reply. Do you even know what the defintion of "in context" is?

If not, keep on proving you are here to be a propagandist. Your choice.

Quote from traderwann:

I asked you to "show us one quote from the New Testament that IN CONTEXT promotes murder". Do you know what the word CONTEXT means, should we start there. Can you tell me what it means to quote something IN CONTEXT versus quoting something OUT OF CONTEXT, please.

You already previously asked where 10 Commandments were in scripture and I pointed out that if you had studied it then you would know where they are. Try using a search engine if you want to know! You proved you haven't read it or done any serious research, and you prove you don't follow along and you prove you specifically avoid and evade and then like I've noted, in an ADD type fashion, you just repeat the same thing. You are all over the ice, avoiding, evading, skating and dancing.

You are fooling no one but yourself and those more ignorant. I know you don't see it at the moment, just remember it for the future.

the ten commandments are in the same part of the bible that you are trying to claim is not relevent anymore because it commands murder and rape.
so why do bible thumpers fight so hard to have the 10 commandments posted in public places?

Please participate in the conversation or keep adding to the evidence that you are here to propagandize. I asked you to "show us one quote from the New Testament that IN CONTEXT promotes murder".

The same goes for your Old Testament stuff, all out of context so let's focus on that. What does "in context" mean and if I say a quote is out of context and therefore false, misrepresented, manipulated, etc ... what could I mean by this?

what is the context of this command to murder your children?

All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

Please answer the question and participate in the conversation instead of avoiding, distracting, derailing, etc. What is the difference between an in context quote and an out of context quote?

Quote from traderwann:

I don't call myself a Christian, but I've actually read parts of scripture. What I learned is that 99% of those criticizing scripture have not read any of it, much of it, know any historical context and generally are quite ignorant. They wouldn't even know the outline of an Introduction to Religions 101 course, let alone be able to honestly participate in a class discussion. I'm speaking from some experience having said some of those things myself in the past.

Perhaps there isn't anything about religion itself to be against, but more specifically the twisting and manipulation of it.

For example, any tool can be used for good or evil. A knife, a torch, a vehicle and yes scripture as well. The question becomes, is the person doing evil using the tool properly? For its intended purpose? If not, that doesn't make the tool (religion) bad, it makes misusing that tool bad!

Let the cognitive dissonance begin.

Good points trend traderwann

I like my Indian stainless steel cookware. But after reading Jim Rogers Hot Commodities book ,especially India section .I dont want to meditate on a yogi demon demon name like the Hindu religion teaches.

I am a Christian who goes to a Baptist Church;

Merry Christmas/holidays.

More avoid, distract, ignore. Again, like the energizer bunny! Please tell us what the difference is between "in context" and "out of context". One step at a time. Let's deal with this and then move on to your quotes.

Cmon FT. You are only embarassing yourself if you can't tell the difference between in context and out of context. You can choose not to reply, but realize the implication is you are as dumb as a door knob and you did it to yourself. That's ok, well all have our hour. All the best.
