Typical, more random vague references to scripture.
No reponse to the fact that all you folks base your belief in salvation on a snuff story.

Because religion is perpetual war and their laws meddle in personal lives, while asking for laws to protect their cults. Jews, Islam, Christians , can't live in peace. That effects all of us.
What references to scripture did I put in that post
Thanks buddy, I have read the bible, I know that the Jews have faults, it's not like the Old Testament hides them from anyone I guess you are clever enough to read the OT and see all the evil and say, hey, look, lots of evil in that book, well duh I have read it as well.
Yes we base our salvation on a snuff story, do you need me to confirm that, are you really that ignorant that you don't know Christs story

it's nothing to do with you
You wrote a comment accusing me of preaching hate.
Thanks but go preach your hate to someone else, I love the Jews, gays, idahoians and atheists I condemn no one
Well, the Jews hate you.
You may be taking it as a contradiction or implying that I was making a contradiction but I see it as us agreeing . Only thing is ,is that the story has much more to it . Where as God had a presence in the physical temple prior to the cross He now has a presence inside the believer . The believer is now the temple of God on earth .
Yes? So how does this contradict my comment of seeing physical life as seperation from God?
Yeah I accused you od preaching hate, still do My point was the OPsopinion has nothing to do with you, you have no right to tell him who's ring he should kiss or not
Yes, I know some Jews hate me, I can love them, love those who hate me, Muslims, he'll even you who hate me, I can love you as well.

The point is not about my knowledge of the story, the fact that the only way for you to know God, or reach your salvation is through a snuff story, for which you thank the Jews for making it possible, is simply pathetic.
As I have been trying to explain to the op, I don't thank the Jews, I thank God
You are an atheist
God is the one that says we need to be saved . The Jews are part of the story . I seldom if ever have thanked the Jews just like I seldom thank Adam and Eve for getting it on . They are just a part of the story just like you and I .
So why are yall acting like we need a snuff story in order to get salvation. Why are you thanking Jews for making the snuff story possible. It's beyond ridiculous.
Yes I am well aware that Jews see themselves as superior

I responded to people who were basically thanking the Jews because without them, salvation would not have been possible. People literally said this. Do you deny this?
You are an atheist
I am an atheist, even though I believe in a God?
How's that other cheek stuff going btw? I think I am better at it.
Is there any way that the kingdom of God would have been presented to you without the Jews making sure that Jesus died a horrible death? Or without Jesus dying a horrible death? In short, without the snuff story? Is your religion defined by Jesus' snuff story. It sure seems it is.
[/quote The death burial and Resurrection of Jesus is what I believe . The construct of Gods salvation put forth in the gospels doesn't seem to me as being a man contrived story . It sets itself apart from all other types and forms of religion . Its really hard to say what might of happened if all of Israel would have received Jesus as their Messiah and what the Earthly Kingdom of God would have looked like today .
You have to factor in that God was dealing with the Angels that also rebelled and the Cross took care of that problem as well . Too bad there was only condemnation for them but that is the way the story goes .
