Matthew
MATTHEW 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Jesus endorses the mass murder, rape, slavery, torture and incest written about in the Old Testament.
MATTHEW 8:12 Jesus warned of eternal torture in hell, "into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
MATTHEW 10:35-36 Following Jesus meant the possibility of turning a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, etc. "…a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."
MATTHEW 11:21-24 The cities of Korazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum were not impressed with Jesus’ great works, so Jesus said "Woe to you" and cursed them to a fate more unbearable than that of Sodom.
MATTHEW 8:21 A man sought to follow Jesus, but he wanted to bury his recently deceased father before he went. Jesus replied, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Jesus ignored the man’s grief.
Mark
MARK 4:10 In Jesus’ parable of the sower, he told his disciples that he spoke to others in parables so they’d remain confused..."otherwise they might turn and be forgiven."
MARK 7:10 Jesus taught that any child who cursed his parents should be killed according to Old Testament law.
Luke
LUKE 8:32-33 Jesus cast demons out of a naked man and into a large herd of pigs. They fell over a cliff to their death. The town asked Jesus to leave.

LUKE 19:26 In the parable of the ten minas, the master (God) said of those who chose not to follow him, "...bring them here and kill them in front of me."
John
JOHN 6:53-66 Jesus said to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Despite the metaphorical tone, many disciples were uncomfortable with the idea and chose to walk away.
Acts
ACTS 5:1-9 Ananias lied about the money he’d made on sold property, keeping some for himself. God killed him, then killed his wife for being in on it.
Romans
ROMANS 1:26-27 Paul said that homosexuals deserve death.
Ephesians
EPHESIANS 1:4-5 Despite all of Jesus’ instructions to accept him as savior, Jesus also says God "predestined" those will be saved according to His pleasure.

1 Peter

There's not too much Love, Tolerance, Acceptance, and Understanding going on there as much as anyone trying to sell this belief wants people to believe.
The above, of course, is only a small fraction of all the hateful, evil, intolerant divinely sanctioned and/or enacted violence spelled out in The Bible.
More can be read about under Biblical Atrocities
Googling "Biblical Atrocities" will bring up similar lists, and most all of them can be verified by following the Name of the Book, Chapter, and Verse Number referenced.
In essence, being "Godly" essentially translates into Destroying everything in your path, laying waste, cursing, enslaving, burning, plaguing, torturing, and leaving a general path of destruction, pain and suffering in one's wake for all and anyone that you might just happen to disagree with for any or even no apparent reason at all.

Nah how about sexuality without morals then you got something!
I know that healing by the 'laying on of hands' works. I have personally seen it work many, many times. It is a gift; one that was given for us to use- and to charge someone in need for something that was given to us for free- sure seems wrong in my mind.

It is a gift; one that was given for us to use- and to charge someone in need for something that was given to us for free- sure seems wrong in my mind. It is not that black and white from my point of view. People who give Reiki have expenses if they do it on a regular basis for the room they do it in. I had a teacher that spent 3 day of weekend teaching it and it was not that expensive. And that teacher normally works all day for bad wage taking care of old people and are doing it there for free. If she wanted to make money then she would not teach Reiki. And all information about meditation and chakras you need exists for free on youtube for the seeker who want's to know from the source. edit on 26-12-2013 by LittleByLittle because: (no reason given)
