I swear to God, I do not know if it is only me who notices this, but people who try to convert others always use this verse, I feel like it is getting played out, it is like listening to a song over and over again to the point where you just get sick of it. I am not bashing anyone here on ATS, but have some variety when it comes to religious arguments. The Bible is a very thick Book, use other verses to support your arguments!edit on 26-10-2011 by Unvarnished because: (no reason given)
because....just maybe...there's some idiot somewhere, who will buy the christian message, if it's constantly repeated.

they seem to parallel more Gnostic works like the gospel of Thomas
Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the kingdom."

Like about a third of the entire current human population?
Don't you think there might be some slightly more productive use of your time? If the rest of your posts are along these lines, I can understand your stat ratio. Misguided or no, the bulk of christians are trying to do what they do for good intentions. Care to share your attempts to benefit your fellow man with us?
I have 'shared' here for two years, but considering that most of my material requires more than an IQ of 80 to understand, it's been beyond the grasp of most of the extremist christians here (whereas practically everybody else understand me and mostly get well along with me).
Grok? You seem slightly better intellectually equipped than the morons who usually fight me with repetitive propaganda clichées, so you may be able to understand, that I target the group of invasive idiots called christian missionaries. And as I can't make them more intelligent (which really would be a blessing), I am experimentally lowering myself to imbecile level, to see if the communication goes better this way.
Apparantly it does. These people really react to rudeness and stupidity, which makes them silent and docile after a while (but then coming from a religion for slaves, that is to be expected).
all christians would be considered missionaries you nimrod.
I feel sorry for people like you who are so sure of the absence of faith, that they have closed off their minds to any and all truths.
you really are missing out on a huge part of existence.
