Why’s that..if you don’t mind me asking? And..I think I may have asked this before..but I’m not quite sure..so forgive me if you’ve already answered this question.No, I am not.

The people who brought me up were christian evangelical fundamentalists.Why’s that..if you don’t mind me asking? And..I think I may have asked this before..but I’m not quite sure..so forgive me if you’ve already answered this question.
If you don’t mind...what groups did you think the Bible talked about hating?The people who brought me up were christian evangelical fundamentalists.
Ultimately I found I could not agree with their beliefs.
Although many of the words of Jesus are inspiring and worth living by, I found the bible as a whole to be contradictory and intolerant.
Believing it seemed to entail hating other groups of people. I was not happy doing that.
For one thing, post after post here you are claiming to know not only JJ's husbands situation, but the mindstate and etc. of the homeless man. What chicken bones have you been throwing to discern all of this un-knowable info Lisa Abromovic?He wanted to know the time to slow someone down to beg. Why would the homeless need to know the time otherwise? He doesn’t need to know it because he has no where he needs to be. We who aren’t homeless need to keep track of time.
Well, amongst other things it's internally contradictory in a number of places. This is a problem for me if I am asked to understand the bible is literally true in every word.If you don’t mind...what groups did you think the Bible talked about hating?
I’m not sure what contradictory or intolerant passages you are talking about?
I don’t spend more time being here..I just have more posts because I have more people who disagree with me and feel the need to constantly question me and belittle me...For one thing, post after post here you are claiming to know not only JJ's husbands situation, but the mindstate and etc. of the homeless man.

Secondly, you spend more time on here than any other poster I see by a wide margin, so I guess you aint exactly "on the clock" either eh? Let me guess, society supports you and your husband via social welfare (that you complain about) while you sit on your duff, fighting the good fight online eh?
You know that the Bible is the word of God..and Jesus is the word...so in rejecting the word..the Bible you are in fact rejecting Jesus...yet you say that His teachings are valuable?Well, amongst other things it's internally contradictory in a number of places.

Who did Cain marry in the Land of Nod?
Why does Joseph have two different named fathers?
And many other such things.
On another level it is used in a hypocritical manner. An example would be pointing to a verse that is supposed to forbid tattoos, Leviticus 19.28, while eating a bacon sandwich. Leviticus 11.7.
As for hating people, the bible condemns almost everyone. It even condemned me.
While I was a child being brought up in that religion, their holy book was condemning me unto the tenth generation, for something that was not my fault.
Duteronomy 23.2
Also there are Paul's very ambivalent view of women, neatly summed up here.
What did St Paul say about women?
Did St Paul forbid women to have authority in the Church? Or was he part of an early Christian world in which many church leaders were women?www.bbc.co.uk
I won't continue, but you get the picture.
I found over time that I simply couldn't believe it, and I couldn't be part of it.
But I think that many of Jesus's teachings are of much value in helping people live their lives well.
Now you are just lying while trying to simultaneously bolster your overinflated sense of ego..... everyone sees how much time you spend on here Lisa. You dont seem to be the brightest bulb in the box, but you aint this dumb. You are intentionally lying here. I think we have figured you out.... the kind of person that will break every rule they set for the rest of us while lying and complaining... all because somehow in your twisted mind you have worked it out so whatever you do is the "right" thing, therefore making everyone else "wrong". Whats really sad is you cloak it in a religious veneer that would disgust Jesus Christ if here were here today.I don’t spend more time being here..I just have more posts because I have more people who disagree with me and feel the need to constantly question me and belittle me...
I am not constantly questioning you in order to belittle you. I hope it hasn't seemed like that.I don’t spend more time being here..I just have more posts because I have more people who disagree with me and feel the need to constantly question me and belittle me...
Good gravy you stammering simpleton, how many threads will you derail? Aint you got no shame?Why’s that..if you don’t mind me asking? And..I think I may have asked this before..but I’m not quite sure..so forgive me if you’ve already answered this question.
What ego? Why would I lie...I have more posts because its not just you talking to me right now..I’m also talking with phipps, justjess and cintra...that starts to add up after awhile.Now you are just lying while trying to simultaneously bolster your overinflated sense of ego..... everyone sees how much time you spend on here Lisa.

I said most people..but I wasn’t talking about you. We seem to have pleasant conversations considering we don’t often agree. Talking to you is like a breath of fresh air..you disagree with me but not in a condescending, belittling kind of way which is what I usually get around here.I am not constantly questioning you in order to belittle you. I hope it hasn't seemed like that.
I find you interesting to talk to, and I respect your right to believe as you do, even though I don't share your beliefs.
I was told to believe that the bible was the word of God. Every single word.You know that the Bible is the word of God..and Jesus is the word...so in rejecting the word..the Bible you are in fact rejecting Jesus...yet you say that His teachings are valuable?
Thank you. I appreciate that.I said most people..but I wasn’t talking about you. We seem to have pleasant conversations considering we don’t often agree.

We are here to talk after all..it’s all good.Thank you. I appreciate that.
I realised I have been cross questioning you on a regular basis. I hoped you wouldn't take it wrong.
Again Lying Lisa, its not just your 5 digit and climbing comment count, but the dramatic amount of time you spend on the site posting them. Even if this was your only online activity, it would be hard to figure out how you find the time to live a normal life.What ego? Why would I lie...I have more posts because its not just you talking to me right now..I’m also talking with phipps, justjess and cintra...that starts to add up after awhile.
I’ve already said that my family isn’t home during the day..so I have time to be online. You guys have kept me busy all afternoon. Before that I was busy this morning so wasn’t here...I’ve gotten to be a fast typist. haha!Again Lying Lisa, its not just your 5 digit and climbing comment count, but the dramatic amount of time you spend on the site posting them.

Why dont you address the convo you initiated in the Trump regime thread instead of flailing desperately here trying to derail this thread?I’ve already said that my family isn’t home during the day..so I have time to be online.

Yep every word was inspired by God. He chose what to share with us.I was told to believe that the bible was the word of God. Every single word.
That was one of the things I couldn't accept.
Yes, I think many of his teachings are valuable.
Do unto others, would be one.
Judge not lest ye be judged, would be another.
Words worth living by.
I honestly can’t remember that convo. Jess derailed her own thread...Why dont you address the convo you initiated in the Trump regime thread instead of flailing desperately here trying to derail this thread?
