How can you say that genocide is "not what God wants" when there are so many examples, in scripture, where he directly calls for it?
Quote:That said some of the commands do carry over, as they are directly mentioned in the NT again. While others do not. Matter of fact in some cases we have been intentionally liberated from keeping certain commandments. I can think of 2 off the top of my head if you want to discuss them through book chapter and verse.
I repeat, from Matthew:
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
I think Jesus is pretty unambiguous about which commands carry over. Either Jesus is a liar, the Gospel communicates a falsehood, or you are trying to change the rules to avoid roasting with the rest of us. There is no way you can spin the above passage to purport that some of the rules no longer apply.
Quote:The law serves only one purpose. It is not provide a rule that we all strive to up hold as a way to earn righteousness before God. the purpose of the law is to show that all have sinned.
I have seriously tried a dozen different approaches to indicate to you how fucking deluded these three sentences are, and I've come up empty.
This is why your religion needs to be destroyed, root and branch. This is some seriously dangerous insanity.
