can't understand christian justification of Old Testament

[palerider7777]

Who me? No way man. :chainsaw:

I think the problem you have here is that most Christians are not very knowledgeable of what is actually in the old testament to begin with. Those that are knowledgeable tend to be uncomfortable with the contradictions. They prefer to leave it to theologians and ministers to figure out how the two testaments' depictions of god can coexist.

lmao i see you love these types of threads.im starting to think you are a cult unto yourself. i think people like yourself should be thanking the god you don't believe in that some people like myself do believe in him.i'll leave it at that other than to say everything has it's purpose.and it's a great thing to see people like yourself talk with such great hate about "god" but how you attack it so makes what you do a religion in and of it's self.


people like you worship science,i just wonder how you can put your 100% "faith" in "science" when they flip flop on just about every issue and besides that you might want to look up the meaning sometime?

i wonder what your thoughts on this might be?i would think you worship the likes of hawking's?

A cult of one?!? How do you get a cult out of me expressing my opinions about god and religion? Strange . . .

i think people like yourself should be thanking the god you don't believe in that some people like myself do believe in him.i'll leave it at that...

? Are you threatening me? I am Cornholio!

This doesn't even make sense to me. If you didn't believe in god, you wouldn't care what my beliefs were, so I wouldn't need the benefit of the biblical prohibition against whatever it is you're implying.

other than to say everything has it's purpose.and it's a great thing to see people like yourself talk with such great hate about "god" but how you attack it so makes what you do a religion in and of it's self.

Great hate? I don't think so. I do hate proselytizing and the implication that I'm doomed or somehow miserable just because of my non-belief. I also hate self-righteousness and religion trying decide what I can read, watch, and even do in my own home.

people like you worship science,...

Have you been watching me hang out at the United Church of Science singing Onward Hal 2000 again? :wtf:

i just wonder how you can put your 100% "faith" in "science" when they flip flop on just about every issue and besides that you might want to look up the meaning sometime?

I don't put 100% faith in unproven scientific theories, however, scientific method is sound. Just because I don't believe in your god doesn't mean I bow to all science has to say either. I have a questioning mind, I question everything. It's just that science seems to stand up much better under scrutiny than religion . . .

i wonder what your thoughts on this might be?i would think you worship the likes of hawking's?

My thoughts are some believers need a thicker skin.

palerider7777... i was wondering if you could comment on what this post actually asks? all you have done so far is shared a personal view about another person sharing his thoughts, without a single relevant point to the question.

to me it seems perfectly normal to share our great dislike and disagreement with the concept of a god-figure who was at one point was nothing more than an omnipotent Hitler.

and i will respond to you're ? tyvm

it will be a kindda long response so i'll be back when i have the time.

and blue what i said in my post was not directed at you i said people like you as in you're thinking.but no it was not directed at you personally.try to think of that comment along the lines of genghis khan.as in it is only my faith in god that keeps me from attacking back when so many things are being done to good people and no one does anything about it.our rights are stripped away everyday. and yes i know genghis just took and killed as he pleased im just saying on that lvl.i mean if i did'nt believe in the peace and love that the bible teaches even tho you try to make it out to be an evil no good book that causes war.sorry to say the wars were a result of oppression or direct attack.also just like any war that starts because of 2 differing views.

First I'm going to have to call BS. Second, what are you talking about? Who am I bashing? Go back and read my post that sent you off so bad. Where am I bashing anyone?

You, on the other hand, have called me a cult, a lurker, and painted me out to be nothing more than some guy who has nothing constructive to say just wants to "bash any chance I get."

Thirdly, saying "people like you" is a comparative statement that makes a personal statement about me. You can try to back peddle now, but those things you said obviously included me.

Comes across personal to me . . .

i guess you can look at it anyway you want.do i need to go dig up every thread you post in that deals with this?i mean you post your views in past post yet you seem to feel the need to jump in every thread about god to make sure everyone here's your view about how god is fake and how anyone that believes is a crack pot.not word for word but in round about terms.ok we get it you know all and are a great and mighty and know everything. i mean you would have to know everything if you know for a fact that god is "made up" right? im sure you will post your proof in your next post right?

yes if you look at science as in seeking of the truth then yes it does hold water.but a great deal of science is guessing and proof of that is how they come out with these scientific"facts" 1 year only to come back the next year with a big "opps" forget all those "facts" we told ya about last year this is the real facts this year.come on man you really gunna sit there and tell me this is not so?im sure you will, then i'll go dig up case by case so whatever enjoy your power trip.

Whatever floats your boat dude.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that I was not allowed to post my views in threads that interested me.

lol, wow dude. I guess I really rub you the wrong way. For that I am truly sorry. I do not believe in god. This offends you. I can't help that. I have the same desire to share my views that you and anyone else that posts on a message board does.

no to be honest you not believing in god does not really bother me.im fine with that and i don't think bad about someone that thinks that way.you have your right to what and how you believe.it's just the snobby type way you seem to come across.it's fine that you post,but it's almost in a haha your below me attacking type of way.

btw why would something you know for a fact does'nt exist in your view intrest you?you sure seem to spend alot of time talking about something you dislike or the thought of you dislike so?

I would address this, but haha you're below me you plebe! j/k

I am interested for several reasons. Chief among those reasons is that I am a pk and grew up with extensive church time and biblical study. This site thoughtfully provided a forum for discussion of these things and I am simply taking advantage of a chance to voice my beliefs/opinions JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

btw, are you ever going to address Hazetwostep's original post or is this your "bash BlueBlazer" thread now?
