Quote from TM_Direct:
If you ever read the new Testament....Jesus was amazing in his forgiveness, love
Quote from jem:
But if you read the gospels there is no doubt jesus detests people who lead others estray with fraudulent teachings.
Quote from TM_Direct:
....exactly....
Quote from stu:
Describing in nothing more than contradiction someone as loving but who detests people and intends to set families against themselves is hardly anything close to being reasonable.
To say you would put devotion to that as a concept or a reality infront of your children, is frankly quite scary.
So far you have said noting which adresses my post. Do you wish me to talk in parables or perhaps riddles might be more appropriate, like jesus , so YOU may be able to understand - sounding hateful is not the same thing as talking of love .Quote from TM_Direct:
Ok....You, like most others, miss the point....Jesus spoke so people could understand....so when he says the mustard seed is the smallest of seeds yet grows into the largest of trees.....are you going to run to google and see what are the largest and smallest?.....or is the importance of the message the thing you should be taking in.
So what sort of faith is it that professes a jesus love, but as you acknowledge in fact does nothing to spread love, rather it's jesus love that is intended to set families against each other. Just what purpose is there in holding such a nonsensical contradiction as a form of faith?Quote from TM_Direct:
Regarding Family against family....again, Look at the christian faiths...many are not united...just look at the south where there are some many denominations and churches on every street corner.

You still have not answered if you would put your invisible friend before your own children ?

unconscionable
Quote from stu:
well thanks at least for clearing things up. You have expressed you religious faith as being something which is not just or reasonable, is contradictory and you expect to screw it up anyway. A bit like fading a trade.
