JESUS IS THE WAY ,THE TRUTH, THE LIFE
Ok, so I didn't read this whole thread and I don't even know if the original poster still posts here... but I've got a question for you if you do.
Why... why would you post something like it. All it does is perpetuate the all-too-familiar image of intolerant, ignorant, close-minded, devout Christians.
Stop. Think. RE-think. Post something useful. If you want to start a religious discussion, bring something valuable to the table instead of just blurting out something which might offend believers of other faiths.
And if you're just here to start shit, then spare us.

Methinks you should stop trying to define what is and what isn't pointless, it may seem that way to you but tell me how you garner information and opinions without asking?
Getting back to the post I have to say that I question all faiths and find most religious zealots to be self obsessed.

Thus, there are really very few true Christians around, because most people believe in self defense and the like. There are many who talk the talk, but few who walk the walk.
WHOA! Jesus never condemned self defense and turnin' the other cheek was basically mentioned more as an act of kindness,meanin you DON'T HAVE to hit back if you don't want to! He DIDN'T say if your mother was raped to do NOTHIN'! Turnin' the other cheek is supposed to be out of kindness and compassion,not bein a liberal leftist WIMP! Someone walks up and punches me in the face for NO REASON is gonna get his head bashed against a nearby tree or brick wall! If I see'em hittin' a real pretty girl in the face,I'm gonna BREAK HIS NOSE and kick in a kneecap! Turnin the other cheek is CIRCUMSTANTIAL not unconditional!

Is that righteous?
Usin' the dog was a parable or metaphor concernin' a GENTILE meanin' it is not always good to share the gospel with a Gentile or Atheist,to which she responded:Yet the dogs eat the crumbs from off the master's table,which means SOME Gentiles or atheists hear ENOUGH of the gospel to become hungry for more and be converted! This woman was ALREADY converted by what she heard and saw and was convinced and desparate to the point that Jesus himself MARVELLED :eek: at her persistence and was taught BY HER that his message was for the Gentiles as well! Sometimes even the MASTER needs reproof and correction and Jesus recognized this and was humbled by her faith! That's why he said WOMAN GREAT IS YOUR FAITH! Go in peace,your daughter is healed!:thumbsup:

Doesnt sound very pacifist to me.
Well Jesus knew his teachin's would OFFEND some and win others,that's why he said that! Some would believe,some would become his enemies!
