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....
The only quesitons I say in your OP was that you wanted to know the hypocritical and ridiculous reasoning's and thought process behind 9 and 10. Correct?
ok , one's about desiring what someone else has to contemplate betrayle to get it. The other's about consciously lying to save your skin. I still am having trouble seeing your question. Do you not feel the 2 are moraly bad?
I never said I thought that jesus was a pacifist. He did preach Love and to be true to yourself and God. I was just answering the question. He also tore down temples and kicked over money baskets, you have to fight for what is right. You don't have to do it from hatred was , I feel, the main point.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
