May 15, 2012 - Nop i shouldn't the argument goes both ways or even 3 ways, if he is saved just because he was young, then it isn't fair for those that don't die young now is it? Also if he is saved while young, what age does it stop for the child to be saved? You are a dumbass, i told you before i'll tell you again and i hope you never breed. And look the dumb christian is spitting stupid book text when in a corner, like it said in the encyclopedia.

mhfacey Says:

May 15, 2012 - I would say that you are ignorant, but the truth is that you are illiterate. Let me break this down for you one last time. Does a "newborn baby", that can't talk, walk, clean or feed them-self, or even reason for them-self know the difference between right and wrong? If answered yes to any of these questions, please don't "breed". Grown people like you and I are without excuse. You love darkness, and that's why you choose not to believe in God (John 3:19-21). I hope this is plain enough for you.

sephizinho Says:

May 15, 2012 - The fact that i can logicly do this with your religion just shows how fucked up and unfair it is. And look the dumb christian is spitting stupid book text when in a corner, like it said in the encyclopedia.

May 18, 2012 - Oh, did they? Fuck god, fuck christ and fuck you, how about that? I rather live an eternity with the sinners in hell than live an eternity with these so called christians.

mhfacey Says:

May 18, 2012 - It wont be much of a life. It will be pure shame, suffering, and death; not eternal life in hell. Its your choice, and you are free to exercise your free will options. (Luke 16:19~31). Remember, you can also repent of your sins and be forgiven...why follow a godless man to hell?

Styper1 Says:

May 18, 2012 - You must be a poe.

May 26, 2012 - When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.Leviticus 15:19One of the many examples of BS rules and misogeny in the bible

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 26, 2012 - Exodus 21:02 (right after the 10 comandments)If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment.thats slavery and thenExodus 21:07If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves doslavery-misogeny I shall call it MISOVERY!

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - Context is very important when reading the Bible. There are many reasons for this command, spiritual and physical. In Googling this passage I've found 2 worth reading. However, let me ask you: do you think that the ancients might scratch their heads in disbelief with the so called right of a mother to butcher her innocent baby in the womb? Women were highly valued for bearing children -atruechurch.info/sexduringmenstruation.htmlanswers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090321164414AAnhQtm

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - "do you think that the ancients might scratch their heads in disbelief with the so called right of a mother to butcher her innocent baby in the womb?"NO just look in your own bible 2 kings 15:16 "ripped open all the pregnant women" (my bible specifies the womb... WTF!?) in one of the many bloody wars and massacres of the bible.

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - Context, context! Read verses 3-11. Slavery back then is not slavery as we've come to know slavery. This was how people paid back there debts (Proverbs 22:7). Consider also that when the Israelites were slaves in Eygpt, that they owned the Land of Goshen, and had their own property. Even as captives of Rome they possessed riches. Slavery in the USA, or anywhere modern slavery was practiced is not the same thing. Oppression, and genocide more accurately describe this dark part of our history.

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Exodus 21:20 and 21:22it not only says "its totally okay to beat your slave" but it also goes on to say "as long as he/she doesnt die within 24-48 hours" more or less.even if it was debt-related slavery, BEATING SOMEONE TO DEATH OR NEAR-DEATH IN IMMORAL NO MATTER WHAT TIME IN HISTORY. And that's why noone should have this horrible book filled with bad rules, bad ideas, and massacres as their moral guide.

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - The Bible would call a person like you a false witness, as you refuse to respect context! You must pay attention to context, as the Bible is relating the account of an "evil King", Menahem. Verse 18, plainly says that he "did evil in the sight of Lord", and in no way condones this act of murder. This account actually proves that Abortion is murder, so thanks for pointing it out! Modern man claims it is a woman's right alone to determine whether the innocent baby in her womb lives. Is this OK?

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - well, it depends on at what time, personally, I think that abortion is not "murder" untill the fetus reaches the second trimester, when it is no longer just a collection of cells.back to the bible, how does god punish this "evil king" and the murder of women and unborn children? he doesnt. not an untimely death, not torture, nor the death of his own children.but when it comes to small actions like looking at the destruction of one's hometown, THAT makes god kill someone by turning them to salt

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - Context! Doesn't it say in verse 20 that the Master is to be "punished" or the slave's life avenged depending on the translation. Why are you over looking this? The Bible and God does not condone slavery or polygamy. These rules were simply to regulate or mitigate the impact of the cruelty caused by callused, insensitive, sinful, and vengeful hearts. The "eye for an eye rule" was meant to limit vengeance to only the part of the body afflicted, and to only the amount of life lost. It worked.

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - (sorry, I meant exodus 21:20 to exodus 21:22)How about a rule that says "hey, these guys should work to pay off debt but DONT BEAT THEM" or "hey, this guy may be the reason you no longer have an eye BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD TAKE HIS EYE make him do comunity service, or somethin, have him be your slave to pay of the debt of an eye"Pluss what kind of debt would be paid of in a life by a woman. unless her master set her free she would be working for free for life, getting beaten NEAR DEATH

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - The term "fetus" means "offspring". Little babies grow from two cells to trillions of cells. Adults are just a bigger collection of cells. You should stand up against this evil, as this is a better use of your energies. No one will escape the judgment. Not the evil King, Politician, corrupt Cop, tax cheater, or pervert. The interesting thing is that God says that He simply leaves some people to their unbelief, and evil ways for this very reason -- certain condemnation (James 5:5~8).

mhfacey Says:

May 27, 2012 - You could write your own Bible, but it probably wouldn't be the number 1 best seller year, after year ;-)Further, when a man was a Debtor, his whole family became indentured servants, including his wife, daughter(s), and son(s). This is what happened to Jacob, when he worked for Laban his uncle. Remember that his own uncle mistreated him all the years that he worked for him to get his dream wife, Rachel.

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Ok, I'll rephrase that, I think it's "murder" when the thing growing inside the woman starts developing a nervous system (second trimester)the attitude you seem to be sugesting is "well, you just cause as much suffering as you may like, I wont do anything, until AFTER you die" and a god that takes almost no action against the suffering of his most beloved "creation" is not worth worshipping.Furtheremore deuteronimy 20:13-20:21, tell me how that's moral in any way.

Blackspidy619 Says:

May 27, 2012 - but what if a woman is sold as a slave (like in the bible quote I gave you) she will be a maiden for the rest of her life, and could be beaten to death, and her murderer would go unpunished as long as she lived for about a day. She could be beaten every day, with no way out because she was sold, she would have prise at the end of that hard work. that is immoral, the god of the old (and by extention, new) testament is a monster with horrible rules and ideas.

mhfacey Says:

May 28, 2012 - Actually He is worthy of worship because of this reason. God respects our right to choose between good and evil, and will not interfere in the decision process. He didn't interfere with Adam and Eve's right to choose between good and evil. He didn't interfere when King David, 'a man after his own heart', chose to commit adultery and murder, nor even when Jesus was tempted for 40 days by the Devil. If He interferes then we don't have free will. He asks us to choose, life. (Deuteronomy 30:19~20).
