The rules were supposedly handed down through the 12 disciples.
It may be in the Bible. But you may know, that I believe that those disciples' words have tampered with.
There may have been proof of God, but it was deleted.
What religions live in fear and where are these people?
I have to start watching more European flics.
Oneironaut, without you the religion has turned to chaos!
But I have my own quotation about wisdom...
"The devil has the broadest perspective for God; therefore he keeps so far away from God--the devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom."
Correct! but when the scriptures talk about fearing the Lord they do not mean fear the lord because of his rath lol,perhaps the old testement spoke that way but Christ himself by all means spoke of only Love! no rath.....Quote:

Wait, so all those Bible verses which say to fear the Lord, really say to fear the Lord not being there? That would be like me telling you to fear your legs, because if you lost your legs you would be miserable.Quote:

There must be some reason why you believe this, and I am of the opinion that this is for psychological comfort and emotional reasons primarily, and your lack of evidence further confirms my belief that this is the case.Quote:

So to answer your question, a whole lot of them. Especially Christianity. If you really believe in the Bible, that is, instead of throwing out anything you don't like.Quote:

For Oneironaut, you might appreciate this one:
"It was subtle of God to learn Greek when he wished to become an author--and not learn it better."
Ok, I was only saying that there IS a bible from 2,000 years ago, and SUPPOSEDLY 12 disciples knew the Word of God.Quote:

Those who didn't listen were banished or oppressed.
SAID IT BEST:the use of fear as a motivator demonstrates a lack of control. its so immature of a tactic as to be almost instinct. This is the thinking of a reptile, not a god.Quote:

And then I find out there's more:
My friend let me borrow this book. It has good insight on the Gnostic religion, too.
I believe in the Father and Son. I have faith in the Father and Son. I fear the Father and Son. These are my beliefs alone. I'm not here preaching to the masses or trying to convert people to my side. I'm taking a stand for what I believe in. Nothin more. Please respect me, as I have respected you.
Green Love, there is no one I respect more than Our creator. If someone believes that no one created every single lifeform, every piece of organic matter, then they're only proving that they can't prove it.
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary (in respect to a woman, Her beauty, and Her ability to give birth), Dear God I believe in You, Dear God I trust in You, Dear God I Love You, Let it be as it was in the beginning, now and forever shall be, World without End. Amen. Sayonara. Peace Out.
