Dear Ornot and Everyone Else on Board!
I read your post with all of your supposed excerpts from the Bible THAT WERE COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT and also REWORDED, and frankly, OUT RIGHT LIES...so that you or whoever created this list, could distort the truth...
They are able to distort the truth, because most of us just don't know our Bibles well enough to refute what people like "Ornot" have printed and have SAID is in the Bible.
(ORNOT, honey bunches of oats...NOTE, that I am really not accusing you of really being this way intentionally or even anything like that....so just bare with me for a minute of chastizing....
)
Well, I just took the first Gospel, (New Testament) passage that he had posted on this list of things that were supposedly said by the Christian God that was just as EVIL as some of the words that Klaatu posted:
ACCORDING TO ORNOT'S LIST, IT SAYS THIS:
Mark 6:11
Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11
AND THIS IS WHAT IT REALLY SAYS IN THE BIBLE
Mark 6:11 in context:
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil* spirits.
8These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.
9Wear sandals but not an extra tunic.
10Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.
11And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."
12They went out and preached that people should repent.
13They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

Now, if the very first verse that I chose to look up, in my New International Version Bible and also my New American Bible that I have here, was TOTAL UTTER BULLSHIT, then I would have to believe that the other verses that he posted are ALSO, Total utter bullshit....and when I get the time I will make a post about the truth and what this list "says" is the truth about scripture....
BUT NOT UNTIL I do this for every QUOTE that Klaatu posted that was supposedly in the Koran!!! I am going to research every damn word on Klaatu's list to see if they WERE ALSO TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR JUST downright deceiving/lies....And I will let you know!
MY BET? My bet is that that list of scripture from the Koran is no more Scripture from the Koran than that list that Ornot posted is from the old and the new testament....it has been twisted....or corrupted....
But guess what? We are all out there believing the shit that are on lists like this and ignorantly pass it on as though it were true....because we don't know and don't have the time to look it up at the time of the passioanate debate...
well guess what my bet is? that the purpose of these lists are nothing more than a tool of those trying to influence politics by stirring up hatred...on both sides of the aisle!
just think about it?
