In my opinion, if the words spoken by a Christian or another Abrahamic theist who believes the Bible aren't important and don't define them, then the Bible wouldn't have instructions about not letting any unwholesome words come out of your mouth (Ephesians 4:29; 5:3–7; Colossians3:8), to tame...
The Bible supports it? No.
God disproved of it. Jesus confirmed that.
The Bible is a record of history, so it does not exclude things that people did - bad, or good.
The Bible is not a crutch. It is a document. It supports nothing. :D
Bible principles help us with that. Hence, living by Bible...
I have a question for you, a thought experiment
Say there was an isolated tribe of humans who could read and understand English
Imagine that an English edition of The Holy Bible materialised within their midst and they went about studying it and that they considered it to have been given to...
I don't get that impression. I've seen your posts.
Do you consider yourself stable in mind?
Picking and choosing what you like, and what you don't is like trying to make your own Bible.
How can that work?
Why won't such persons consider throwing it away like many people have, and just declare...
My faith is in the bible. I believe the bible says we should not use foul language, cussing or profanity..
Colossians3:8, But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Ephesians 4:29 29 Do not let any...
Thank you for your reply.
Scripture does speak of the Law of Christ.- Galatians 6:2
That Law is part of Jesus' New commandment as found at John 13:34-35.
The I.D. mark or main quality of the New commandment is having self-sacrificing love for others ahead of self as Jesus displayed.
In other...
You will note that Paul observed the 7th day Sabbath for one and one half years, implying that, after that, he did not. The spoken of are "Judaizers," so of course they would have wanted to celebrate Shabbat on the 7th day. It's well-known that the proto-church continued to meet in the temple...
Paul, the Apostle on the Ten Commandments in the life of the biblical Christian:
The TEN COMMANDMENTS...
[01.] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [1 Corinthians 8:5] But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of...
How did Paul feel about the Ten Commandments, the Law, in other places?
“...Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise; ) [Ephesians 6:2]
“...the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully ...” [1 Timothy 1:8;p]
“For if I build again the things which I destroyed...
Thank you for sharing this inspiring verse. I can't remember reading it. Seems I'm not the only one.
So this verse tells a Christian not to slander/insult others. To tell or imply to an Atheist that Atheism "lack of belief in God", is a less valuable (inferior) path than Christianity (which I...
In my view it is not subjective, but objective instruction from God in the scriptures on proper behavior or rather the improper behavior of spewing out profanities.
But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Colossians...
In my very personal experience and coming from a Christian background American Christians are some of the most judgmental SOB's I've ever encountered. Depending on geography it could be even deadly...
Tell that to the KKK then....
This is not the Christianity I have experienced. I perhaps...
And why would you speculate the guy is a Christian???
The Bible say...

Really? Can you take a moment and prove what’s so unclear about these?
"For “whoever would love life and see good days must guard his tongue from bad and his lips from speaking deception. Let him turn away from what is bad and do what is good; let him seek peace and pursue it." -1 Peter 3:11...
Anyone with half a brain and a lick of human decency knows how to treat others. If a person needs a god or needs to read a book on how to behave properly they are a lost cause. Even the last quote of your sermon backs that up as science has shown morals, sympathy, and compassion are shown in...
Now yiu are just being ridiculous. I already said this
is good folk wisdom, and widely shared in different cultures around the
world.
Your six day poof and noahs ark though,
that is a different matter.
Silly fairytales for ignorant people, but, useful
for keeping people away from a cult that...
