Quote:I thought you were summarizing with your affirmation of min's belief, and agreeing with you both. I couldn't find a question to answer though. Ask away.
I know those books were NT. you might need to reread my post. Meatball didn't have references for Jesus teaching pacifism, so I gave him some. I also was inferring that he was teaching against teh hate bred by the OT laws, not the laws themselves. Was that so hard to logically follow?
What I meant by "logic trail" was the series of steps in your thought process to reach a conclusion. You're more than welcome to form whatever opinions you like of me.
IN BOLD:
My fault, I didn't realize you were replying from that part of my response when I agreed with Min. To make myself more clear, that was just one of the many reasons...
IN RED:
Considering that Jesus states we were to follow the laws of Moses, and calling "Jesus" a pacifist is a joke all on it's on...He gave a few moral speeches, but they themselves was nothing new to the world, and he by far expressed his judgment on more than one occasion in the N.T.
Matthew 10:
33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And yes, your logic is hard to follow when based on self interpretations of a plagiarized faith based belief..
IN BLUE:
Maybe you need to reread my original post... It wasn't just about the 10 Commandments being forced in our children's classrooms and government. I was simply agreeing with Min on what he posted..
And you as well on my opinions....
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
