    Its hard to take scriptures serious with verses like these

    1 Samual 15:3 and Psalm 137:9 are speaking of equal treatment or the golden rule. If a thing rules over you it is better to abide peaceably than to revolt, as the latter would cause more grief than the former.

    Oh yeah? Perhaps you could list a few of these "tricks".

    Psalm: 98. 7. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 9.

    You must be referring to the ot. Though it speaks of past occurrences of violence, it ultimately always goes back to mercy and selflessness. Yes; the bible as a single book ultimately proclaimed mercy and equity, as does the Quran. peace

    Its hard to take scriptures serious with verses like these

    If they were perfect then there would have never been additional testimonies or revelations or Prophets or messengers. Inerrant truth has no contradiction. And though the direction of man by the will of GOD is without contradiction; the inspired word of GOD as interpreted by man can seem to...

    Your understanding of Christianity is flawed then. Not saying it's your fault. Just saying it's wrong. Much of the bible is about love and devotion, but that doesn't mean the bible belongs in the erotic section of the book store. peace

    How does scripture fall apart over the literal interpretation of singular verses taken out of context? peace

    Its hard to take scriptures serious with verses like these

    You should try reading a version that hasn't been quite so altered for whatever reason. Never read that in the Quran either. Not sure what version of that your using, but my point is that attempting to discredit or act as if the sacred writings of believers in GOD are of no little moral worth...

    What is Sin?

    That is to say that morality and the conscience themselves do not exist, and that is simply a false statement. I can gladly attempt to justify the adaptation of what is acceptable, but first would hope that you agree that the conscience and morality in general are real things though not exactly...

    What is Sin?

    So you said you think space-time is eternal and without change, but that doesn't exactly explain why you think the matter within this space-time is too eternal or without change. It is very obvious that the objects within the universe change and galaxies die and form so could you try explaining...

    That is contrary to the very definition of pious.

    What is Sin?

    I have evidence that supports the proposition that all faiths throughout time and geography actually refer to the same One Creator GOD of all existence. Does that count? Peace

    What is Sin?

    I am means almost just that. It refers to the potential instilled in man through GOD, via negation of wants of self and submitting to what is good and right at all junctures. By submitting I mean acting on and in accordance with. Conversely; sin is the knowing denial or negation of said...
