Dear Lord, Please let Ardeegus see that hes wasting his time with so much hate. Let him accept that theres a place for him in heaven, in THIS life, if only he'd give up hating. I pray for Ardeegus salvation.. yada yada yada...

Again, with this "hate". That's more projection from you.

Feel free to pray all you want. Nothing fails like prayer.

And with this, you enter my "ignore" list. I'd hope that there might be some salvaging of this thread left with you filtered out, but it is likely good and dead.

Are you serious about your soul or is it one big joke....

Your belief that slavery is wrong is actually at odds with what the Bible teaches, terrazoids. Eg, in Ephesians 6:5-9, Paul urges slaves to obey their masters in the same way that they obey Christ, while Colossians 4:1 tells slave owners to treat their slaves justly. But nowhere - not once - is their any condemnation of slavery.

The belief that slavery is wrong has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity.

I hate to nit-pick here, Harry, but although your contention about the teaching of the Bible is correct as concerns slavery; the actual authorship of both Ephesians and Colossians are disputed by modern Bible scholars. About half of them believe them to be from the hand of Paul, while the other half argue for authorship by an anonymous author using Paul's name. I know this has little to do with your basic premise. I just thought I'd throw that in.

As I see from a post you made earlier today in another thread, my "nit-picking" was entirely unnecessary. I should have known you'd already be aware of that.

Sorry about that!

Look I hate to point it out to you... You can move from thread to thread, and from place to place. Gods gonna follow you everywhere you go forever. So you might as well just put your cards down on the table right now and make peace with him.

I was using the name "Paul" as a shorthand for "the pseudoepigrapha popularly attributed to Paul" . Whoever wrote them, though, the fact remains that their teaching is regarded as a part of the canon of the New Testament.

Yes, I just caught it, as you can see from what I just posted. It's hard keeping up with all this activity!

Now that response, I liked. Just as I thought that latest spat was going to get the thread closed!

(notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat)

If Makemake wants a space in my life, *he* can arm-wrestle Eris for it, too. Or do whatever other kind of wrestling he & Eris agree on.

If they give me advance warning, I'll sell tickets & make popcorn.

(Oh, and in case everyone isn't up to date on the Kuiper Belt Objects: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/...y=OverviewLong)

Is this where I say "my god's better than your god 'cos my god has a planet?" (I know; you don't have a god. I think. My god's better than terrazoid's god because she has a planet? I'm sure there's a gap in that logic somewhere, but it's no worse than "god the all-loving will send you to hell if you don't believe in him.")

Humour is considered a divine gift in my religion.

You could perhaps consider that your life & beliefs are not as interesting or compelling to other people as you were told they should be.

Provide evidence for your claim.

Just what is your religion?

So like if I asked you for some evidence that you actually exist... and you're not just some bot on the net...how would you provide that?
