Especially since the latter does produce a productive environment for conceiving a human child.This is the part where you give me evidence. A fatherless child will not recieve adequate parental support. Rape also is an offense to the woman.
Quote:Your bible said it. It also says that you don't get to enjoy both - you must give up one for the other.This is the part where you give me evidence. The regulations you impose in your own Christianity are completely yours.
Quote:Your 'interpretation'. What it says actually is "Money is evil and therefore, so is the love for it".You aren't very creative. You're supposed to disprove my argument, not give me your opinion. Again.
Quote:If you claim to follow the early Christian church, then you should be giving until your satisfaction level drops to the level of the poor.You don't tell me what to do. Besides, you're not making sense. If we make all make ourselves poor, we can't help anybody else. Didn't I quote where the Bible specifically says NOT to do something as stupid as follow the doctrine you are preaching? Because it is YOURS. I think I might know a little more about the religion I follow than someone who doesn't.
Quote:You said that it was a misquotation and then proceeded to give your biased subjective interpretation - I corrected you - there is no misquotation and its not what I want your Bible to say, its what it really, actually says.Well, we can't all own the Bible version you picked out. Shall I explain what I had considered a misquotation?
"If you want to be perfect…"
"If" makes the sentence conditional. It only need be followed in the case that…
"YOU." Earning salvation was the rich man's idea entirely. He was looking for an easy way through life.
"want to be perfect." No one can make anything perfect but God. The rich man couldn't find it in him to do what the apostles were doing simply because the apostles hadn't been recruited in this "all you gotta do" sort of manner. God calls people to be evangelists, he doesn't give out the position as the easy way out.
Quote:No - but if they hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have loved them.Even if they had been unable to?
Quote:You don't see it because you fail to realize that for a rational human being, life means more than the state of being alive.Educate me, then, Mr. Rational.
