Vorls, does that make it the least consistent or the most consistent? No Idea

RE: CHRISTIANS, you only have 3 days left to get rid of your XMAS TREE!
Long long ago, I felt a need to have one bible be THE Bible. KJV1611 made the cut.

Methodist church ladies gave me an NIV (which I still have) upon completing confirmation class, Pat Robertson uses NIV, so we know that one is SATAN endorsed.

I have an old family bible, huge thing, falling apart, births and deaths recorded in it. Also have a Good News For Modern Man, paperback, I think the church ladies ponied up that one too.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The consistency question is a non sequitur in regards to the selection of the KJV 1611.

Considering all the problems caused by religionists (Christians not the least), I have a really hard timed getting verklempt over who does or does not have a Christmas tree. Big fat hairy deal.

Nothing to fear? Yeah that's why Christians kept Jews in ghettos because they didn't fear their religion and accepted them.
Again bunch of bullshit from oblivious Christian who doesn't know anything, like history, because throughout history Christians were very barbaric toward other people's idols, culture and knowledge - and by barbaric I mean destroying it.
Like the remains library in Alexandria




But for the few things they couldn't destroy they proclaimed they invented it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

How come you don't know that?  I thought you were one of these big bible wankers?

Who said I didn't know that?

I simply said he was quoting from a dead dialect and has confused himself with all the thees and thous..

A dead dialect simply means we on mass do not generally communicate with the King James english. As such much has been lost in translation from the King James english to modern english.

Why do we have to do this every stinking year???
 And then easter and again on halloween?

Look at you own diagram.

I count 1/2 dozen independent religious symbols that have absolutely no other cross ties with one another. It wasn't till the R/C church began to assimilate western communities did these religious symbols become united under one celebration of Christmas.

So that means that Jesus is infact the 'reason for the season' despite when he was born.

Here try this one:
 Family of Israel, listen to the Lord! 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Don’t live like people from other nations.
    Don’t be afraid of special signs in the sky.[a]
The other nations are afraid of what they see in the sky.
    But you must not be afraid of them.
3 The customs of other people are worth nothing.
    Their idols are nothing but wood from the forest.
    Their idols are made by workers with their chisels.[b]
4 They make their idols beautiful with silver and gold.
    They use hammers and nails to fasten their idols down
    so that they will not fall over.
5 The idols of the other nations are like
    a scarecrow in a cucumber field.
They cannot walk.
    They cannot talk, and the people must carry them.
So don’t be afraid of their idols.
    They cannot hurt you.
And they cannot help you either.”
6 Lord, there is no one like you.
    You are great!
    Your name is great and powerful!
7 Everyone should respect you, King of all the nations.
    You deserve their respect.
There are many wise men among the nations,
    but not one of them is as wise as you.
8 All the people of the other nations are stupid and foolish.
    Their teachings come from worthless wooden statues.
9 They use silver from the city of Tarshish
    and gold from the city of Uphaz and make their statues.
Carpenters and metalworkers make the idols.
    They put blue and purple clothes on them.
    “Wise men” make these “gods.”
10 But the Lord is the only true God.
    He is the only God who is alive.

What the text describes or rather trying to get people of Israel to see is that the idols of other nations are nothing to fear, they do this by simply describing how the idols are made.

There are no prohibition on tree here. How do we know this? Because the Hebrew bible is subdivided into three main parts. Prophets, Law, and Writings. Laws are only found in the books of the law. Otherwise if God gives a command say in a book of writings or prophets then it is a one time thing, only pertaining to that time or those specific circumstances. The book of Jeremiah is Not a book of the law as the Law is only found in the Pentateuch or the first 5 books of the Hebrew bible.



Drich,

Oh, I get it!  You're a Jew instead of a Christian, as you should be if you follow the mythical Jesus, and where you're reading from the Jewish
writings instead of the Judeo-Christian bible.  I thought you were a Christian, sorry. Therefore, in this sense, you're correct. You have to 
laugh at the Christian rewrite of the Jeremiah verse in question, yes?  LOL

Sorry for distinguishing you as a Christian, whereas, if anyone knows the Old Testament, it is the Jews like yourself!

The religion of Jesus is Judaism, and the Jews celebrate Christmas not.

The religion about Jesus is Christianity, and the Christians  celebrate Christmas.


Between celebrating or not celebrating, I'd postulate it would be clear to most all religiously thinking folks one choice or the other is going to be WRONG.


So what do you do ?

You obviously fail to nderstand the real meaning of christmas. Woe is you.



Catholic Lady,


I understand that Christmas is a pagan ritual, and that all pseudo-christians like you are considered to be HEATHENS if you have a 
cut decorated tree in your home at this time, and that as a HEATHEN, you can do no good.  I most certainly understand that the 
Xmas Tree is an idol of homage because it represents Jesus' birth, and I also understand that the tree totally represents a graven image, 
of which pseudo-christians like you are not suppose to recognize.

What else is there to understand regarding the meaning of Xmas, than for pseudo-christians to become hypocrites when celebrating 
this Christian holiday?

Spit Coffee

It is sooo funny, when a 'thinker' doesn't know when he been beaten... Let alone had his teeth kicked in..

This usally happens when a 'thinker's faith' exceeds his own ablity to think.. we see this alot with youtubers. Meaning you so just 'believe' the atheist position is always right, that you have the freedom to mock without license. You see the production, it speaks to what you want to believe so you do without checking anything, and you assume the oppsite is always wrong. Here's the thing sport. and whether it takes just this one humiliation or it takes 1000 more I am willing to teach you this lesson for free. (well sort of, as you will be made the butt of many jokes, because of you limited ablity to understand and yet still mock it rather than educate yourself.)

So, here's the thing 'thinker' The JUDEO/Jew-Christian bible contains (Sit down now I don't want you to fall and hit your head/Lord know He didn't give you much to work with so let's take care of what He did.) BOTH the Jewish and Christian Bible. Other names for this bible?? The Holy Bible or really any bible that contains both the old (That's the Jedeo part) and New (Christian part) of the bible.

So.. To study an excerpt from the Old testament and provide an exegetical (Properly framed and critical explaination of a given text) explanation frame out in the way an OT Jew would have read the passage is how anyone with a mind to context is supposed to approach OT scripture. Why? because it was written to the OT Jews and it is with in that intended audience that we only can find purposeful meaning.

So when I subdivide the OT down into it various 'books' and point out Jeremiah is NOT a Book of the Law only the Pentateuch contains the law, and your foolish response is to challenge my 'christian-ness.'  Hehe It shows that you are a moron and found yourself in the deep in of the pool and don't know how to swim.

So now that we all know you can't swim what will you do next? deny this and jump back in or ask me to teach you to swim?

(might want to think this over a bit, the repercussions might be dicey)

It is really simple.

Christians have the freedom to set and observe any Holy Day (Or even foods) they want:
14 Be willing to accept those who still have doubts about what believers can do. And don’t argue with them about their different ideas. 2 Some people believe they can eat any kind of food,[a] but those who have doubts eat only vegetables. 3 Those who know they can eat any kind of food must not feel that they are better than those who eat only vegetables. And those who eat only vegetables must not decide that those who eat all foods are wrong. God has accepted them. 4 You cannot judge the servants of someone else. Their own master decides if they are doing right or wrong. And the Lord’s servants will be right, because the Lord is able to make them right.

5 Some people might believe that one day is more important than another. And others might believe that every day is the same. Everyone should be sure about their beliefs in their own mind. 6 Those who think one day is more important than other days are doing that for the Lord. And those who eat all kinds of food are doing that for the Lord. Yes, they give thanks to God for that food. And those who refuse to eat some foods do that for the Lord. They also give thanks to God.

This means some people think we must worship God on a saturday, or a sunday, on on this day or that... Paul is telling the Romans it does not matter as it is between the believer and God alone.
