What do you guys think of the Ten Commandments (Ten Words)?

All your hate of catholic us just stupid.
Christianity stems from the Catholic faith.
That's history in the books.

You're just hating yourself by doing so.


Let me ask you:

If your preacher, at your church, had a malicious intent, and commanded you to commit genocide in the name of God, with the real intent of wiping out rivals or such, Would you do it? Never knowing if it was the preacher's words or God's?

You assume it is, full in your belief that it's true, never knowing that it is.

Where in the bible does it specifically say everything you said?
Quote it perfectly.


Another thing. You said it yourself, that interpretations are all false, yet just above you said that your church had its own interpretation of the bible.

It contradicts itself completely.




Remember this, if you do preform acts of hatred with intent to kill or disfigure anyone, for whatever reason, As long as I have the ability, I will stop you. And every rational person in the world will too.

Ok these posts are getting too long. I'll try to be brief.

I'm sorry about that, I apologize.

If you belong to a congregation, they ARE a denomination as they are a grouping of Christians with shared beliefs.

So yeah, you're not non-denominational.

And here's an article on tolerance in the bible. Enjoy, it's all from the good book.

No...maybe you need to get your definitions straight:


In Christianity, the term non-denominational refers to those churches that have not formally aligned themselves with an established denomination, or remain otherwise officially autonomous. This, however, does not preclude an identifiable standard among such congregations. Non-denominational congregations may establish a functional denomination by means of mutual recognition of or accountability to other congregations and leaders with commonly held doctrine, policy and worship without formalizing external direction or oversight in such matters. Some non-denominational churches explicitly reject the idea of a formalized denominational structure as a matter of principle, holding that each congregation must be autonomous.

But I don't care what those articles on those heathen websites say. Why should I care when they don't use the Bible?

For example, that page you cite says:

Avoid offending followers of other religions: St. Paul commented on the dietary habits of Christians.
1 Corinthians 10:31-32 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:"

- http://www.religioustolerance.org/tol_bibl.htm

For none, they refer to Paul as a Saint, yet there are no such things as Saints, and the very idea is blasphemous.

Here's what 1 Corinthians really says:

10:7 says to avoid those who worship Idols, such as Catholics.

10:8 Paul warns of of what happened to the Moabites in the book of Numbers. If you don't know (you probably don't), Moses and the Israelities killed 23,000 of them for defying them.

10:9 If you tempt Christ, he will send snakes to kill you.

10:10 if you murmur, God will destroy you.

10:20 All gentiles sacrifice to Satan.

And regardless of what you say, I get the feeling that I'll always believe that God is perfect.

Then you're headed for Hell.

That says not what the soul is, merely that it does not share the body's fate necessarily.

That's all that understanding a soul means.

Better than worshiping some hateful genocidal prick in my opinion.

Why would you worship some old fool who can't even go to the bathroom on his own? Why do you worship anyone but Yahweh? The Pope IS NOT GOD! ALL POPES ARE IN HELL!

Actually that was why I left the catholic church. Because most were for being jerks to minorities. But whatever floats your boat. Do you think Jesus hated gays, abortionists and even... *gasp* popes?

Of course Jesus hates gays, and all popes, but he doesn't hate abortionist. Why would he? God loves abortion.

It's the roots of the seven deadly sins. Which you went on to say weren't to do with what you were talking about DESPITE questioning them in previous posts.

There are no seven deadly sins though. The Bible never mentions them, and they probably come from some catholic pulling them out of his ass. They are fools.

And yes, because I have an independent thought or ten in my head and have not been brainwashed by some small Christian denomination I am indeed evil. Just like 99.9999% of other people in the world. Sucks to be us.

It does indeed suck to be you.

Every man is born of God, for he is our creator. If we're not capable of sinning, then what's with all the sinning I see?

God is making them sin? God makes people sin, he makes people not believe in him, he is the creator of evil. Not everyone is born of God, that is a blasphemous concept. Being born of God is accepting Jesus.

Unless you're beyond reason I guess. But then like I keep repeating, few answers worth reaching are all that easily obtainable. I get the feeling most answers we'll find later.

Not true.

Matthew 7:7 Seek and you will find.

I'll finish with this. Don't be such a hater. It's the extremists that **** people over. I wouldn't be surprised if those Muslim extremists are like fundamentalists who scream 'Allah' rather than 'Yahweh'.

How are they at all similar?

Regardless, I see it as disrespectful to God waving around his name and supposed desires like that. He's God, not us.

God is just like us though.

Uh...show me it. Don't Catholics claim to be some sort of Christian, not the other way around?

If your preacher, at your church, had a malicious intent, and commanded you to commit genocide in the name of God, with the real intent of wiping out rivals or such, Would you do it? Never knowing if it was the preacher's words or God's?

He'd only do that if God commanded him to say that, and since the Bible does command that, the answer is yes.

You assume it is, full in your belief that it's true, never knowing that it is.

Where in the bible does it specifically say everything you said?
Quote it perfectly.

I've already quoted it. Look above.

Another thing. You said it yourself, that interpretations are all false, yet just above you said that your church had its own interpretation of the bible.

It does not have the interpretations of the Bible, it has The Bible.

It contradicts itself completely.

How?

Uh..okay. Try and stop me...?

That is the silliest thing I have heard in all of 2008, and this includes meeting people who voted for Mike Huckabee.

It is interesting to see how many different versions of the Ten Commandments there are. Really, there are twelve "rules", and they are bunched up differently according to Orthodox, Catholicism, Protestantism, etc. The Jewish version actually has the rule of "I am the Lord Your God" as the preface to the actual Ten Commandments.

As to what I think, eh. Most of it is a common rule of law. It isn't really all that different from Hammurabi's Code in that regard. I will covet my neighbor's wife if I please, however.
