I've discussed the sermon of the mount enough to know that's a waste of my time.
If it's in there, point it out to me directly. If you won't do that, then buzz off.
Are you one of those atheists who boasts..."I know the bible even better than you Christians"
If I play Google bus boy for you and go look up all the bible texts you claim don't exist, what's in it for me?
Can I get a Rep point?
How about if I get 10 verses which establish my theological/biblical claim?
How about if I get 20 verses, 10 in the OT and 10 in the NT?
How about we have a formal debate on the proposition?
...that the bible supports the doctrine that there is neither Jew nor gentile, neither free man nor slave, and that God wants everyone to be saved - all nations - because He loves us.
What if I give you 10 quotes from the Qur'an on the same thing, would you then become a Muslim or admit the Qur'an as holy scripture?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
