what is the idea behind this jaywill, why will they think it is too soon, rather than too late?
"Let him who does unrighteousness do unrighteousness still; and let him who is filthy be filthy still; and let him who is righteous do righteousness still; and let him who is holy be holy still.
Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me to render to each one as his work is.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter into the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and makes a lie.
I Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright morning star." (Rev. 22:11-16)
I think when He comes the vast majority of human beings will feel that they wish He had given them more time.
But we do not have to be that way.

Originally posted by Andrew HamiltonI was under the impression that you argued that nothing in the Bible was worth paying attention to. I thought you said its argument of authority was circular.
When will Jesus come back ?
Err -never. He was nailed to a cross and he lived and died more than 2000 years ago.
So where do you get this information about Jesus and Him being nailed to the cross? Do you want to update your skepticism to say that you will selectly choose from the Bible those things you prefer to believe then ?
If you got your info from non-biblical sources, how then can you trust that they have not been influenced by the Bible ?

Originally posted by JigtieYeah, I read your hip-hop self-description and came to the same conclusion that others who have read your introduction probably came to: that you've never set foot in the 'hood' except in your fantasies about being Robin Hood.
Actually, I misunderstood the word pig. Thought you were referring to a
broom or something. Then realised, that in rap talk (yo) it's a policeman.
Now I'm just confused. Explain yourself!

begin to explain the riding a cop comment. You really don't have an
answer for that, do you? I mean, are you in the habit of doing that? Do
you often jump on the backs of police officers? Yelling: "Yeee-haaaw",
perhaps? Or maybe you're just trying to be sassy without the intellectual
substance, or even the balls to carry it through?
Look, we can skip that part if it's embarrassing to you, and get back to
your original comment that spawned this ridiculously lame attempt at
mud throwing of yours:
Is the world really such a bad place now, compared to a few hundred
years back when people were burned on stakes for no reason other than
their knowledge on natural medicinal practices, or reluctance to follow the
one "true" interpretation of God; a few hundred years back, when the
elite could do pretty much whatever they wanted to the common man
without any legal retribution?
I think not.

Originally posted by dystoniacyou know, some folks really love the ideas that Jesus is said to have originated. The words attributed to Jesus, on the whole, describe an approach to life one simply has to admire. But what Jesus said, what he died for, and who he may have really been all has been lost in the competition among succeeding generations who have used him to satisfy their own thirst for power over others.
I challenge you to study the Bible if you are minimally intelligent; if you are 'special ed', I'm sure someone can assist you in understanding the words of Jesus. Why are you so down on Jesus. Did a Mormon missionary steal your bike?
I think a lot of people are down on folks who attempt to exercise control over them through advocating this or that regarding the absolute truth of the Bible, or of this or that verse, or of an overall "membership" thing in a particular sect or denomination.
Even the name of Jesus has become merely a brand, as so many household products. Jesus has become a commodity as well as a tool by which some people throughout the years since he died have actually rationalized torture, murder, and war itself.
So, I don't think people are down on Jesus -- we're down on people who use his name in ways that make us sick at heart, disgusted by their smug, insistent, power hungry need to control other people.
One doesn't have to be a so-called Christian to regard the words of Jesus in the same way one would regard the words of Jeremiah or Isaiah. These all were men who gave us the benefit of their own perception of the world around them, of the nature of human hearts, the potential in us all, the failure to realize it, and the possibility of leading a spiritually fulfilling life.
One doesn't need autodidacts or church authorities, dogma, ritual, or anyone else to tell one how to understand the words of Jesus.
I am certain of one thing: Jesus would not approve of the message I have quoted here because it speaks without the spirit that he taught.

Originally posted by ScriabinExactly what part of you post was 'quoted' and from where, or are you referring to your whole post? I agree about a lot of what you stated because not even I want to be preached to about God unless, of course, I ask for it. Having stated that, in order to have a relationship with God, one must surrender to God; otherwise, the connection will never happen. Christians believe that the Bible is the word of God, written by man, and that it is infallable because God would not allow it to be fallable, but I understand where you are coming from.

and my "cop out" retort? Well, now you know.
