Woman burned alive for 'sorcery' in Papua New Guinea

[Esquilax]

what they do not accept the bible as the word of God? That they do not understand that OT Judism and NT Christianity are two seperate religions? Do they still sacerfice goats?

Are you doing this on purpose?

What I'm saying is that yes, there are biblical literalists out there who disagree with you that the old testament has nothing for them. There are also varying degrees of this; churches that follow some of the old testament without following all of it. Seventh Day Adventists and Southern Baptists do this. It's not a matter of cartoonish extremes; your religion is one of immense subtlety, in terms of who and what its adherents decide to follow.

Let me put it this way: there are 30,000 different christian denominations. When they die, the followers of 29,999 of those are going to be shocked to find they haven't been worshipping exactly the right god, at a minimum. What basis do you have to believe that you're a part of the one group who got it right?

This is the core of your problem. you are argueing a principle that absolutly no christian would stand behind no matter what he thought of the Old testament.

Matter of fact their isn't a Jewish sect in practice today that would agree with your assessment. (That it is lawful/a command of god to burn witches)

This is one of those things you have to prove. You say that, but at the same time you have religious leaders even in America calling for gay people to be put to death, something that probably falls under this "don't murder" rule you're clinging to here. Just do a search for Curtis Knapp: here's a guy whose message is completely contradicting your own, but he's able to provide scriptural bases for it.

you have forgone common sense to argue a principle that does not apply to any bible based Judeo-Christian system of belief. your whole arguement is based on the fact that some christians goto Church on saturday rather then sunday. If you are so sure about what you believe then find one of the saturday worshiping Christians and ask him on what day is it ok to burn a suspected witch.

And there were christians not that long ago who murdered witches in Salem. Why were they wrong and you right? What makes your position correct?

You can spin the bible so it's for any position you care to mention; my question to you is, why is your interpretation correct? So far, all you've done is assert that it is, over and over. Prove it.

again No 'Sect' of Bible based Christianity burns witches. The burden of proof is on you to show one that does. (start in PNG your best bet is to find one there.)

Except the ones that did, historically. You can't say it's impossible when it did literally happen. Besides which, my point here is that the burden of proof is on you in terms of your scriptural interpretations. Why are you correct to begin with?

However though, I did find a youtube video of exactly that happening. But it's really gruesome and I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to post it. Or if I'd want to. Shouldn't be too hard to find, anyway.

Beyond that, here you go: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/18...24943.html

Proof enough for you?

What makes you a bigot is that no matter what Cermonial version of Christianity you want to side with, all Bible based Christians wholely accept the Moral law of the NT. At least when it comes to burning witches.

Okay, you've stated your original position again. Good. Now, can you please prove it, finally?

You have failed to show me one. you have pointed to cermonial differences but you have not once named a single branch of biblically based Christianity who has adopted a witch burning doctrine. (Even if you had I can point to Acts 8 Mat 5 and 1/2 a dozen other verse that say Murder is wrong and that we are not to burn witches by the example of the apstole Peter.)

Where do you draw the line? When does a "ceremonial difference" become a "branch difference?" Let me guess, you're the one who decides that? You're just ignoring the evidence because it doesn't suit your purposes.

To which as many times as I mentioned Peter's interaction with a legit witch you have yet to comment. surly you know This is the final nail in your arguements coffin.

Not really, because like I've said, not everyone agrees with you. Sometimes the text is spun a different way.

Look, I'm pretty much done with you. You've shown repeatedly that nothing can get through your thick skull and fatuous arrogance. You're going to stick to your original premise without reason or evidence, and despite repeated requests you've offered no insight as to why we should take your biblical views seriously at all. In essence, your rambling, near incoherent idiocy is no different from that of a homeless man with his cardboard "the end is nigh!" sign, and you've given us no reason to think otherwise.

Kindly do so in your next post, or just shut the fuck up forever. Because if you spend one more frigging post detailing exactly the same fucking claims again and again without any form of credibility, then I'm calling it. I'm done. It's over, and if you fail to address my question, then you've admitted defeat.

The end.
