NO PEEKING !!!!!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They themselves didn't follow scripture and when they made laws for the people to follow, they exempted themselves. As far as what Paul said, I checked three versions of the new testament and none of them used the word "leaders", but rather "guides". A guide or a leader of that type is not a leader of the people, but rather teaches according to what scripture says and claims no authority in himself. These are two different circumstances as Jesus was telling the people not to be like the Jewish officials who claim to be leaders. What version of the bible are you getting the word "leaders" from?

This is far and away the single most horrifically inhuman thing anybody has ever said. For shame.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Forgot to post one, sorry!!
J or P: If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid J or P: If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hello, sir. The following questions are out of friendly curiosity and are in no way intended to be disrespectful toward your beliefs. With that said, if God presents itself as a man to you, then does God also present itself in a form that is more acceptable/comprehensible to the person it is presenting itself to? For example, if some person (male or female) experienced God, then could that person see God as a woman? If some sentient alien life-form saw God, then would God present itself in an image that is somewhat similar to how that life-form looks? Are all of these images of God equally valid? Furthermore, how do people distinguish between God and their projections of what God is?

Paul is simply telling the christians in Rome to be prepared because the day of salvation is at hand. The day of salvation for most of us will come after we die. He's not pointing at a specific time of Jesus' return. They're discussing two different things.  (February 17, 2017 at 10:03 pm)Godschild Wrote: When is not the question you should be asking. The question is will I be ready when He does. When Christ returns and if you're still alive it will be the worst day of your life. You will find you can't escape not even if you try and take your life. This is when you will see the power of the God you've tried to mock and I can promise you for those who are not ready it will be a very bad day. What a ghastly and abusive religion you have, Godschild! Your idiotic beliefs. Your evil god. Your gloating-at-sinners torture fantasy. Your threats. You deal with it. May you commit the Unforgivable Sin in your dreams one night very, very soon and spend the next few years of your life agonizing over your lost salvation, until the day that you realize you never had salvation in the first place.
He's already committed the unforgivable sin. He's spent so much effort in being a good little xtian drone, he's forgotten what it is to be human.

I don't fear your tyrant any more the I fear any other . If your god acts as you say he does then he is a god unworthy of my love and deserves to be mocked . And suffering at it's hands could only be good compared to your fate of being a slave to such a monster.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
