I'm never around there but from what I read, most of those shootings are around the basketball courts. The ones that happened during chop were some juvenile stupidity and really, that sort of area I can't see why anyone much over 30 would really want to be around unless they were stunted in some way which alot of people are.
The ones I grew up with were such simple people, mostly good god fearing people just living their lives. There are of course dark sides, their need to demonize and judge people but as much as I really hated them when I was young, I miss them all today for some reason. Just people really, not perfect.
my question is always how much of it is even true, there really just isn't that much evidence that a lot of the stories are anything more than myths and stories and much if not all can be traced to older sources from other cultures. It's not that a scripture won't hit me sometimes if I hear it and it's not that there isn't truth and wisdom anywhere in it but I don't consider it any sort of divinely inspired or word of god at least not much of it if any.
There's historical underpinnings to it if you want to look at it as a historical document.
as much as the believers may deny it, there just isn't much evidence that any of those biblical figures existed and as I said, most of them are based on older stories from other cultures.
I will happily respond to this When I catch a second, but I really don’t understand why you choose to be such a dick.Ah yes, the britney spears of arguments - corinthians 5:12. I knew you would collapse on it. Now, if you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know the context - it's about excommunicating an incestuous brother, it has nothing to do with nonbelievers outside the church, who can't be excommunicated because they're not even in it, and the whole verse it has nothing to do with not being able to judge those outside the church.
This really solidifies it for me - you have no clue what you're talking about. You're just fumbling through this. Christians absolutely have the right to judge - they can judge criminals,philes, homosexuals, thieves, incestuous relationships, all sorts of depravity. It's so ingrained in the christian ethos that the fucking church is doing it. and now i'm talking to some dude whose entire life is getting pucnhed in the head fumbling through some gradeschool level sophistry according to which oh no, christians can't judge.
Romans is another red herring. The church has every right to proclaim god's judgement and what it entails, and who it touches. god is the final judge, but the church, and christians, telling the depraved why they will be judged, is absolutely by the book. the church and the christians have every right to speak out on what the judgement of god shall entail. Your argument is basically one of a church of apathy, that would not have survived a century. it has survived 2 thousand years precisely because it has constantly lifted its hand to point the finger. towards what shall dissolve under god's judgement.
Also, since you're copy-pasting my reply to you about how you don't understand religious concepts, it's pretty clear this discussion is giving you PTSD.
Where are you copy pasting this shit from?
There's zero chance you know this on your own, it's very clear to me, so it's either chatgpt or you're feverishly messaging somebody.
you're fumbling too much for me to believe this is actually your stuff. and you're fumbling exactly in the places i'd have expected you to fumble.
i should have expected it though. everytime i hear the "ummm like christians shouldnt judge mkay jesus was about love" i just know a dumb discussion is coming.
sad.
absolutely, either way I just wonder what goes on in their stupid heads, are they just trying to impress the women and the men? so senseless. I'm reading that last nights downtown shooting was two teens, I don't know what the shooter was but some licensed carrier took it upon himself to kill him.
Yup. Whitewashed tombs, all of them.
Yeah, as far as I know it’s real.
I agree, even twats and trolls have freedom of speech. What I was meaning to point out is that it seemed like those good Christian folks consider themselves responsible for starting the riot. Or at least, some of their leaders sure seem glad it happened. Hard to feel too sorry for them if that’s the case.
Again i notice you don’t have scriptural doctrine to back up your claims. Your hermeneutics need a lot of work, and if you haven’t read 1Cor 5 in its entirety you should. It’s short and answers a lot of your questions.
Cool, explain why all those verses say otherwise? We’ve established the Bible says 1. All sin is equal under the eyes of god, and 2. Everyone sins.This really solidifies it for me - you have no clue what you're talking about. You're just fumbling through this. Christians absolutely have the right to judge - they can judge criminals,
Yes! No Argument here and you are so close to understand what myself and Jesus were saying in regards to the topic. You can point out gods judgment on somebody’s actions while still loving them, and not judging those actions yourself, the way the Bible explicitly says you are supposed to.
ya, i've heard that excuse, I don't believe that mess. Notice we only started hearing that crap in the last few years. Developed or undeveloped doesn't mean you are automatically violent, all sorts of excuses for stupidity. I am sure one huge component is just no parenting.
they do have the right but I keep saying common sense is needed. that area is just trouble. You have the right to do a lot of things but use your head for chrissakes.
