Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He defends himself by attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to the commandment: “He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.” Matthew 15:4-7

Abandon your wife and children for Jesus and he’ll give your a big reward. Jesus asks that his followers abandon their children to follow him. To leave your child is abuse, it’s called neglect, pure and simple. Matthew 19:29

Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law. Mark 7:9

When you say the bible says, "Follow me or you will go to eternal hell", isn't that more of an ultimatun than a choice?
Since hell isn't such a welcoming option.

A few other things about Jesus:

Jesus says that those who have been less fortunate in this life will have it even worse in the life to come. Mark 4:25

Jesus sends the devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a cliff and be drowned in the sea. Clearly Jesus could have simply sent the devils out, yet he chose instead to place them into pigs and kill them. This is called animal abuse. Mark 5:12-13

Jesus kills a fig tree for not bearing figs, even though it was out of season. Jesus must not be as smart as Christians would have us believe, for he was retarded enough to do something this silly. You’d think the son of god (god incarnate) would know that trees don’t bear fruit in dry season. Mark 11:13

Luke 12:47 Jesus okays beating slaves.

I don't make my husband go to church, he goes on his own, more than I do. We are different religions, so we go to different churches, he to Christian, me to Catholic. I have tried to go to his church in the past and I just didn't feel comfortable. He has never made an effort to go to my chruch and I have never pressured him, like he did to me. I told him if he ever wants to attend w/me he is more than welcome. Now it seems like everytime we go to church he ends up getting really mad later in the day. It is over silly little things, like today when I was watering my flowers he said I watered them to much and was going to kill them. I have owned/ran a greenhouse for 11 years. It is always something stupid, but still always something. Why is this?

Pierre Plantard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Pierre Athanase Marie Plantard (March 18, 1920 – February 3, 2000) was a French author and publisher and the principal perpetrator of the hoax of the Priory of Sion that later inspired the books Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Da Vinci Code, among others.

He used a fictitious surname, Plantard de Saint-Clair, from 1975 onwards. The surname Saint-Clair was added to his own surname on the basis that this was the family name associated with the area of Gisors, a part of France associated with his hoax.

A French court ordered a search of Plantard's home, turning up many documents, including some proclaiming Plantard the true king of France. Under oath, Plantard admitted that he had fabricated everything, including Pelat's involvement with the Priory of Sion.[1] Plantard lived in obscurity until his death on 3 February 2000 in Paris.

I have asked and answered numerous questions in the past 2 months. The replies of the majority of Christians were of a loving, non-judgemental nature than all else. I found the arrogance and nastiness of most non-religious, non-Spiritual people to be overwhelming. Most people of non-faith what-so-ever are pompous and irritating. There are some that use wit and sarcasm to "put down" those of a faith, but, then again, there are those who do it lovingly and in good natured fun. Humor is the answer, but why don't we laugh at ourselves, not each other. We are all children of Our Creator. Peace and Love. God Bless.

So, weird things are happening and twice in a row now I have been able to know two rather big things in people's lives that come true: one being my boyfriend's dad getting sick and someone in my dance instructor's family died right before her big recital...I didn't know details about either thing, but I have a feeling that I'm beginning to unveil a gift that God has placed in my life, a gift of the holy spirit, the gift of prophecy. It's still really confusing since I'm not even an adult yet...in fact I'm only a young teenager, but I know that it may be something that God is placing my life and I just need some references and advice on what I should be doing and I still need to know exactly how it works.

I was reading some answers from a question about loving God more than ur family and I red someones answer, they were saying yes u must love God more If you don't love God more, then you don't fully trust him and will go to hell.

Why is it wrong to love ur family more than God? Why does God need to be loved more than ur family? Why would he send u to hell for loving family more?

Jesus tells us: The Truth is so simple, even a child can understand.

After reading what so-called Adult atheists say. I did have to ponder about this mistake. AFTER considering the facts.
The Holy Bible is in fact God's Truth, without errors.
Atheists simply don't have the mind of a child yet.

What are you doing? Playing crossword puzzle with letters?

If you can't grasp Truth, switch to Lincoln Logs*. At least you might be able to get something to come into place.

Right?

I've been a non Christian ever since I was 12. Back then I use to be an atheist, but after wisening up (not saying atheism is bad, but I'm a huge science freak, and I believe you can't prove either way) I've swtiched to Agnostic several years ago, with some buddhist teachings. Anyways, my grandma found out about this a few weeks ago, and she, my grandpa, and basically everyoen on my dad's side are like FANACTICAL Christians. So she sent me a card saying (in the nicest way possible) that she thought she knew me but she was wrong, and that I have two fathers... The earthly and the heavenly, and "where did I fail you in life?" sort of thing. Needless to say... Even though she wrote it in the most caring way possible, it still hurt me deeply and I cried (just the fact that I am still a good person and she made it seem like I've ruined my life). Now I am afraid to face them, and we are visiting them on the 4th of July. How do I get them to understand?

It sure does look like some of you know alot about the Bible for people who are not supposed to be reading it. Why do you come to this section...to condemn? Why are you reading the Bible if you do not believe? seriously, I just want to know why?
