Alright, let's play. Since you, a practicing christian, refuse to use your own holy book in a debate, then I, an atheist, will. Strange how that works, isn't it?
Quote:Quote:...According to the bible, being from anywhere else means you can be killed, enslaved, lots of things.
Nope. False.
" However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)" So, slavery. And as the Amelekites, Benjamites, and a long list of others show, any tribe not of god's chosen people are fair game.
But please, continue with your baseless, blanket denials. They're much more compelling than evidence.
Quote:People who don't accept Jesus' offer of salvation get what choose.
And Jesus offers it to everyone. (that's in the bible)
Anyone can be saved if they a) know what salvation is and b) repent and believe. (that's in the bible)
So at most you've got a contradiction. That's your best case scenario, that your perfect, never wrong god, got something wrong multiple times. But since you've provided nothing but a "nuh uh!" as support for your claim, and have been given bible verses as support for mine, why should we give you the benefit of the most charitable scenario?
Quote:Yes.
For God so loved "the world"...(that's in the bible)
The Gospel is to be offered to ALL NATIONS. (thats in the bible)
Jews. Gentiles. We are all one in Christ. (that's in the bible)
Yeah, you're right: I guess the bible is a contradictory mess, that shouldn't be believed because of that.
Incidentally, how do you know, given this, that the happy, shiny parts are the ones that are true, and not the bad, nasty ones that I posted? You've given no support for your claim that I'm wrong, you've just pointed out equally unbased claims from the same source. Mine were from Jesus, though: are you saying you know more about god's will than Jesus?
