Originally posted by FreakyKBHI repeat, why the quote? Clearly, it didn't help to alleviate my abject ignorance in any way, and you don't appear to be trying to rectify that situation. Was the quote an attempt to answer some question, or was it merely a conceited display of your superior knowledge?
The quote was in response to charges you are leveling of which you know absolutely nothing. That isn't to say you are ignorant in general: we both know this not to be true. However, when it comes to theology proper, your posts reveal nearly abject ignorance... and I certainly don't mean that as an insult, even though it sounds so harsh.
And besides, you were responding to Nemesio, not me.

I will admit that--- to an unbeliever--- the Bible is close to 80% nonsense. The precious little that an unbeliever can understand deals with things of this world--- accessible to anyone who can read. Those things spiritual, however, are almost entirely lost on the unsaved. Can't help you there, nor do I apologize for the truth's remoteness to you: such ...[text shortened]... flowing happiness.
I've already provided the answer. What are you considering unanswered?

Originally posted by twhiteheadDiscretion is the better part of valor. You are ignorant out of willful choice, not uninitiation to the particular path. Therefore, more coverage of the same ground will inevitably produce the same result: your insistence that the most influential book in the history of man, the pivotal person of human history are both equally irrelevant. Can't argue with a person who refuse to reason, who refuses to concede they may be completely wrong.

Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
KBH, you have the patience of Job.

That people hold differing religious beliefs is a product of willful ignorance is an arrogance that
makes Jesus weep.

I have no problem with anyone believing anything from which their little hearts derive even a semblance of comfort. However, for those hungry for the truth, there is but one source, but one comfort.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This exercise all goes toward the same end-result: there must exist a standard that not only resists deviation, but one which cannot deviate--- however that standard may be described. There exists not just beauty, but the beauty, the just, the truth.
Taking your "Platonism" without argument (because that's a different argument), could you please then give the criteria, as you understand them, for the just, so that we'll know what at least you mean when you say something like "S is just". [Or, "G is round", for that matter.]
Maybe I'll get a chance to check back in a week or so...

Originally posted by Jorge BorgesThe really sad part is you and billions of brainwashed believe it so you think if a religious leader says god told him to kill a non-believer, then it must be ok, god ok'd it. What a bunch of sicko's you all are. not to mention hypocritical.
God lawfully has the right to execute judgment upon anyone. The Bible says that all people have sinned against God and are under his righteous judgment. Therefore, their execution is not an arbitrary killing nor is it murder. Murder is the unlawful taking of life. Killing is the lawful taking of life.
