I am not here to attack peoples beliefs, I do want to understand them, but that does not mean that I want to "revert" back to what I was.

Are we really that far a part in our beliefs? You stated that you agreed with 95% of my rules. Which (roughly) 12 did you have a problem with?

So is there anything you would like to ask me, so that maybe you will not be so afraid of someone with differnet beliefs? Maybe we are saying the same thing and using differnet words?

Why people would turn their noses at the very church Jesus Himself established is beyond my human understanding.
Don't they know that in snubbing Jesus and acting as if "they know better" than Jesus, they are ensuring a trip to Hell?
Doesn't this sadden all of you who care about Jesus and want others to know His True Message?
Please join me in prayer for all of these lost people.
Jesus still loves them and wants them to return to the fold before it is too late.
Praise be his name- Amen !!!

P.S. Speaking of bad words, Jesus says those who call others "fools" are worthy of "hell fire" (Matthew 5:22)
Yet that didn't stop Jesus from calling his enemies "fools" (Luke 11:40).

It seems the church turned it's back on Jesus. They "USED" him as a "ICON" to push their values that where needed to control the masses.

Does that include the Ticket or do we still have to wait until Jan 16th like everyone else?

So what was his true message?

...mean. I am pretty straight forward with my answers, but you don't seem to say anything other than the question.

And if enlightenment comes from knowing nothing, then Donna you are really close to having me totally "enlightened".

That's how everyone plays it. There are so many contradictions, and some of the stuff is so out there, so fundamentally offensive, that it must be intended as a provocation. Israel means to struggle with God. None of the patriarchs or matriarchs did everything they were told to do.

Lots of rational individuals hate religion. But rationality and individuality have some pretty serious limits. For one, it tends to reduce your play in the gene pool.

Have I given the impression that I am afraid of others and their beliefs? I sure didn't mean to.

erri - we are very close except for one thing... I don't follow a code, I follow a person who said very many of the things that are in your code. (others may have said them as well)

But I am not afraid of what you believe nor am I afraid of you. If I was - why would I stay here and discuss these things? I don't think you are afraid of me or my beliefs. Why would you be? They don't reflect on you...my beliefs reflect on me...

Not afraid of other, intolerant of others. You aren't being honest. Tolerance of religion does not mean someone has to be that religion for them to be tolorated.

Donna Matrix wrote: erri - we are very close except for one thing... I don't follow a code, I follow a person who said very many of the things that are in your code. (others may have said them as well)

You should know that you are not "supposed to follow any man" And do you think that maybe he did not want you to follow? Maybe the idea was that you learned and then lead other?

Also it is not a code. It is a set of rules I try to live by, I don't always, but I don't try to intentionally break them. I use them as a reference when I am lost. It doesn't have to be your reference, though so please don't think I would expect you to live by them.

"Others may have said them"? Are you sure you want to stick with that answer? I got my rules from several places. MOST are common sense that has been handed down from generation to generation.

Why would I be afraid? Our beliefs are the same. The one thing I do think that you are afraid of is that Jesus was not the only true son of God, in my eyes.

Is it so hard to believe that we are all the children of God, equally? Why can only one have the answer. And I don't think that we reflect upon ourselves, I am pretty sure we reflect upon others, my point where did Jesus get his ethics and teaching from if they where not reflected upon him.

I agree. I am starting to feel "special" and not in a good way. If there is one thing I know I am not, that is special.

Plus did we ever get an answer to intolerance toward the handicapped is considered a sin....

I will go with C. Barring men with damaged testicles from entering the church.

Because if you can't reproduce you are no help to God.

OneEyedDick Can we have some bible questions with monsters in them next? (Note: that are not an angry God).

I have never read the bible completely, I am most familiar with the "Top 10" but that is about it, there is some really freaky stuff in it,
I did hear that the ending sucks.

erri - I'm just not understanding excactly where I expressed intolerance. What have I said (because I can't do anything on here except write words) that makes you think I'm intolerant?

What I think I am doing is expressing my views and countering contentions to those views. I have no desire to change anybodys views. I believe that every person has the right and responsibility to figure it out themselves. I am more than willing to talk about it though.

Intolerance definition, unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect contrary opinions or beliefs.

You have a tendency to discount anything you don't want to believe and poo poo it very quickly. That is intolerance. I believe everything you say I just interpret it differently.

I opened up to you a little while ago about a very personal experience I had and you just made a flippant remark and discounted it as irrelevant. I consider that to be intolerance.

Donna Matrix wrote:I believe that every person has the right and responsibility to figure it out themselves.

I agree with you, but it seems that the only outcome you allow is "Jesus is the one true son of God"

I saw on cable that archeologist's found what they believe to be Jesus's brothers bones. (I will do some research on that to find some more info)

So question? Does that mean that Jesus's brother was the son of God too? The step-child of God? Or was Mary just that much of a tramp?

Donna Matrix wrote:I am more than willing to talk about it though.

Well then please help me understand why I am so wrong. We have the same ideas, except for 5%, what in that five percent do you think that I am going to burn for?

Intolerance definition, unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect contrary opinions or beliefs.

You have a tendency to discount anything you don't want to believe and poo poo it very quickly. That is intolerance. I believe almost everything you say I just interpret it differently. The statement "One True God" gets my "Spidey" sense tingling though.

Sorry about the double post.

Donna Matrix · Post by **Donna Matrix** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:52 am

Well okay... if you are talking about the hawk experience I was not flippant (athough you may have taken it that way).

Intolerant is like an allergy where the person can't tolerate something - so they have to get away from it. I am embracing this discussion - I am not running away - so it seems I am tolerating it quite well.

As for what you believe - I'm just fine with it. As for what everybody else believes - I'm just fine with it. Isn't that the epitome of tolerance?

I have never mentioned Hell (although others have repeatedly). I have never said anything about anybody burning in hell. So, accusing me of thinking you are going to burn in hell is WAY OUT THERE.

Maybe we should shift this discussion to HELL. I'm more than willing to participate and give my views just like everyone else here.
