CATHOLICS, heads up if you were abused by your priest!......

[Godscreated]

that your ever loving and forgiving Jesus character condoned the murdering of children that cursed their parents?  Yes?  

No! The verses you cherry picked together say nothing of the sort.Christ never told the priest to kill children, He stated that they did not uphold the laws they were trying to condemn his disciples with. By the way you in a earlier post you criticized Christians of cherry picking, when in reality you are the cherry picker and even worse you do not know the simplest things the Bible teaches. You tried to manipulate the verses by intermingling them. Shame on such a smart man as you. Actually you can't be very smart if you thought it wouldn't be caught.

Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating.  

In Matthew 15:2 It is the disciples who were criticized for not washing their hands. In Matthew 15:2 The Pharisees asked Jesus why the disciples didn't obey (now read closely here) the traditions of the elders, this is a great difference from the actual law of the scriptures.

Jesus defends Himself by attacking them in a quid pro quo stance for not killing disobedient children according to the commandment; [i]"And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

Jesus didn't attack them, He did rebuke them and why? Because they were putting tradition over the law they were not upholding, Jesus used the verse Exodus 21:17 for dramatic effect, very clever. Jesus wasn't defending himself or his disciples, He was however rebuking the Pharisees for holding tradition above the scriptures.

For God said,'Honor your father and mother' and anyone who curses his father or mother MUST BE PUT TO DEATH.” (Matthew 15: 3-4).The “command” that Jesus was referring too, and that was in effect at His time, and still is today, was when Moses said: [i]“Honor your father and mother,' and, 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.” (Exodus 21:17)

Here's where you are trying to intermingle two verses to suit your own needs, want work here to many smart Christian here for that nonsense. "Honor your father and your mother," comes from the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20:12 this verse sets the stage so to speak for Exodus 21:17. You first should study the culture of the times things were written, honoring ones parent and other family members was a serious matter in those times even in most other nations. To disgrace the family was to do great damage to the families reputation, the families reputation was held in the highest regard it was of the utmost importance. Now on to Exodus 21:17, which by the way is not in effect today and if you knew the scriptures you would know this. This is a subject for another thread. Exodus 21:17 is not about small children its about adults who are the children of their elders. Also the word curse here doesn't mean to use foul language and the two translations I'm using refer to it correctly as to disgrace or dishonor the parents. Read Exodus 20:12 again, it says honor.

Therefore, Jesus says to the Pharisees that they’re to follow God’s command to KILL children that curse their parents relative to Exodus 21:17!  Get it?  Huh? Maybe just a little bit .

Jesus never told the Pharisees to obey Exodus 21:17, He used it as an example to show them that they were holding tradition higher than the law they were suppose to be keeping. You're trying to make these verses sound as if they were about small children being punished by death when nothing could be further from the truth. Your scriptural understanding is weak at best and I say its nonexistent. Now do you get it, maybe a little bit!
Please learn what you're talking about before you post such nonsense.

Better yet, it would bode you well not to respond to any of my posts, as was evidenced in embarrassing you in the aftermath to the one in question,
and in addition, because I can't bear to watch a beautiful woman with a potty mouth grasping for those proverbial straws that aren't even there to begin with.  

Thanking you in advance. 

Has anyone ever noticed that creeps have a double standard? I virtually never see a guy called out for his language, but I have, on many occasions, been treated to such comments as "you fuck goats," "guys should check to see if you have a dick" and the above "potty mouth" comment for swearing. No kidding. It's a fairly regular thing. I'm also often told I'm crazy, mad or "throwing a hissy fit," which I think might be the impression *some men get from me swearing. What the fuck? Thankfully, at least the fucking awkward comment about my appearance is a rare gem.

I think your down to earth way of talking is awesome lol.

I never once thought it was manly or "inappropriate" for a woman. People are just sexist, and I can't stand double standards.

Yeah, it's been like that my whole life. Guys in school used to call me a lesbian, in spite of the fact that I had a long-term boyfriend in high school. To be fair, I wear a shitload of flannel.

Serious. An older woman teaching me the art of love(?). Probably would have been considered statutory rape. Except, young boys on the 70's couldn't be raped by women.

Even now, it's mocked and treated with very little seriousness.

Hence this episode of South Park

Too much try-hard. Just saying.
