Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Amen... The RCC really screwed things up when they booted the eastern Christians (Byzantine, eastern Ortodox, Coptics, etc.) out of the church in 1054 or questioning papal infallibilty and not wanting priests to marry and have good Christian gfamilies.

Things went downhill from there... Who was the notorious pope when the East-West Schism occurred in 1054, Leo IX ? Then there was Gregory XI and a couple of other popes in 1376. With all the popes, anti-popes and whatever, the RCC has mucked up Christainaity to the point where we have all the diferent churches we see today.

And yet only one true one.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Since God created all of us, He can't hate any of us, or at least He can't hate any of us for being the way He created us.

Of course He can. He's God and may do what He likes.

Proverbs 16:4: The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Romans 9:20-24: Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Yes, but Pastor, doesn't the Bible also say that all human beings are the same as God (John 10:34, Psalm 82:6), so how can God hate us?

We don't take kindly to people who twist the Bible around to make it sound internally contradictory.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

But then, what's the explanation? How do you reconcile it?

[Oakland "Reb" Griner]

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

You use Scripture to interpret Scripture.

If you find something you don't understand, search for more Scripture on that topic to help you understand God's Holy Word.


There are no contradictions in the Bible.

In fact, it is an abominable and astonishing blasphemy to even think that.

[Serenity-Millennium]

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

I don't think there are any contradictions in the Bible, which is why I was pointing out another verse in order to further interpret the verses the good Pastor had already provided.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Love the sinner, but hate the sin.

Actually, this is from that Christ-mocking hindaloo, Mahatmacoat Gandhi. God's Word says that we are to hate the sinner as well:

Psalm 139:21-22: Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Amen, Pastor! These limp-wristed false Christians run around mindlessly spewing lies like this, and they are just plain LYING about what the Bible says!

Matthew 13
[38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Thus says the LORD:

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"--Ezek. 33:11.

You say I'm taking the verses out of context? In that case, I'd like to know what you say the correct context is!

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

Of course, inspired by God The Son, we have, "Ro:1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

It hardly smacks of loving them and did not Christ Himself utter the words,

"Lu:19:27: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Lu:19:28: And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

Major Tom, you've been warned repeatedly against twisting Scripture to make it appear internally contradictory, something that God's Word quite simply cannot be.

James 2:24 "See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

There's no contradiction here. It's clear from the context that faith is understood to be a work. A True Christian's(tm) work is done by his faith.

Re: Things that the Bible doesn't say

The seven deadly sins

The Bible does not specify seven deadly sins. The current list is the invention of His Unholiness Pope Gregory I in A.D. 590. According to the following Bible verse, all sins are deadly:

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
