Quote:why indeed? If he is perfectly good why he said these things to a poor woman who is in desperate need of help? The only rational explaination is becouse he is a racist bastard. And why are you trying to justify this action?
Actually this story is the proof that christianity was a jewish-only religion at it's begining. Through time it became universal..
Really? Now you are interpretting the scriptures like a fundamentalist would. Have you read the New Testament before?
Mathew 28:
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Was Jesus a racist so and so?
Acts 1:
7He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Looking at any piece of literature or book, one has to look at the context, the original language and how an early christian would of understood the text. It just means Christians have to a little more thinking, than running to their pastors...
Quote:You can become a deist if you believe in there is a god. Make your own rules, don't believe in something written 2000 years ago! Why are you forcing yourself to believe in christianity?
Simple answer: Jesus died and rose again. I can't discredit the evidence.
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
