If you believe the Bible as a true account of his life, he actually said this,

"... those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."

- Luke 19:27

What happened to turning the other cheek and loving thy neighbor? I guess doubting Jesus' divinity is the exception and murder is the just reaction.

Sounds like a swell guy, huh? Of course, you're always free to cherry pick what parts you want to agree with. How convenient it must be.

Especially those who believe the Bible which tells us to prove all things. In the Book of Mormon we find a powerful witness for the divinity, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We have 500+ pages of new scriptures that were given to us by the power of God.

Yet people reject it without reading it. Even ignoring all the external physical evidence for it, we have the 12 witnesses who testified to their dying day that the record was revealed by God. Some were killed for their testimony and sealed it in their blood. We also have a promise within it's pages that those who read and ponder the mercy of the Lord, and who will humble themselves before God, and ask Him will know for themselves that the Book of Mormon is true.

I can promise that God will reveal the Book of Mormon to be true. The Holy Spirit has testified to me that it's true. That Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that God still reveals His will to His servants today. But don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.

I am a struggling Christian. I don't go to church and I rarely read the Bible, because I don't like reading. I know that humans are wretched (including myself). I know that Good & Evil exist. I know that we are being tested although we all fall short before the Glory of God. It makes clear sense to me that material things are worthless. I've accepted Jesus as my savior although it seems I repent a lot and take it for granted but I truly feel guilty when I sin and always repent. Would God say "good job you made full use of your life and honored me". NO WAY. I pretty much failed him big time. I do not like people at all. I've tried for 28 years but it just doesn't work and I've accepted it. I sin a lot but always repent although I really have no fruit to show or anything really that God could be happy about. Will I go to heaven? I accepted his son as my savior because God obviously knows that we are pieces of sh*t. I know the nature of evil and I want to be back in the garden.

I've personally met or encountered a lot of Americans in here.
(or maybe they are not all americans, but let's say they are "westerns".
And there is one thing in common about them.
They are usually "fragrant" people (exaggerated perfumes) but i like their smell which would inevitably make me think that they are as "clean" physically as the way their perfumes "suggest."

But my question is "Am i right of thinking that way?"
Are these people mostly really "clean" " down" there, too?
and you know what im saying... :)

I sure hope their perfumes dont hide their true odor..

Countless people were dead for no reason.

Deu 18:18
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Prophet our of the brethren of the Jews, like unto Moses... can't be Jesus as he was of the children of Israel (Jews) and not like unto Moses. Though Prophet Muhammad fits this prophecy perfectly... he is of the brethren of the children of Israel (The children of Israel (Jews) came from Isaac, while the Arabs came from his brother Ismael.) And Muhammad and Moses have a multitude of things in common (i.e. Both had a natural birth, natural death, had children, received a new reveled book (Torah and Qur'an) from God, both made exodus with their people, and were victorious). And Muhammad only spoke that which Allah commanded him (the words God put in his mouth.) What do you think???

Someone with the beautiful name of Diane spoke lightly of having been 'blocked.' Sorry to say, whilst I've read remarks about it by others here, I know zip about it. If someone 'blocks' my posts, does it mean only that person is deprived of my meandering genius, or every dang body who's dipping into R&S? I do not want to know how to 'block' someone myself 'cause it just ain't my style. I'm an adult.

" Mothers were skewered on swords as thier children watched. Young women were stripped and raped in broad daylight, then...set on fire. A pregnant women's belly was split open, her fetus raised skyward on the tip of a sword and then tossed onto one of the fires that blazed across the city." The End of Faith, Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason. Written by: Sam Harris.
In this passage the author is making refrence to voilence that broke out in India between Hindus and Muslims in the winther of 2002.
So why do people follow religion, when there is no evidence that an after life really exsists? Speaking to all of those who believe that there is an after life, Why would you follow and believe something that cause hate, pain, and death?

What would you do?

If you were held captive by a crazy person who gave you these options:

Kill 10 people who are all 40 years old
Kill 1 child that was 2 years old
If you refuse to choose, 50 newborn babies will be killed

Would you be guilty of murder?
Is there a right answer?
Is there a better answer?

The crazy person has told you that you will be killed regardless of your decision.
