Did you audit that little chart?
I'm guessing not...

Mike your point is taken, however I object to "God says". It should say "The Bible says". If God exists there is no way He would endorse any of that nonsense. The Bible was written by men.

Even if you concede that it is a work of man, that chart is only accurate on three points... so, what are we doing here? Doubly confusing the issue to what end?

Zip what are the three correct points? Obviously those are not Biblical quotes but someone's interpretations. I'd like to make my own interpretation.

Laughable. NONE of those quotes are in my Bible. NONE.

Really? It is written:


Mar 12:29 Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
Mar 12:30 And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
Mar 12:31 The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

That rather obsoletes the feeble attempts to bring division.

The incontrovertible ones:
It does list bats as birds.
It does list rules for selling your daughter. (Servants)
Jesus did not come to bring peace to the physical world.

The Only way MikeN will stop taunting believers, is to start taunting him back on the issue of abortion

Mike, as you know, all the points in that chart are moo,t as far as dead fetuses are concerned. To think... what asshole aborted their child, causing that child to miss out on this 'glorious' chart lol!

and don't forget to eat fish with scales only, and leave the pork alone for God's sakes..

Many of those "laws" made sense 2,000 years ago when there were no refrigerators and poor hygiene. We now know how food-borne illnesses are caused (not a good idea to carry raw pork through the dessert). But Jews still can't eat pork, because "God" said they couldn't. It was just convenient back then because people feared God.

I'm allergic to pork, so I keep kosher now.

and if you eat shellfish I will smite thee down with the rod of justice!!!!!!

Moot point

Act 10:9 Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
Act 10:10 And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
Act 10:11 And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
Act 10:12 In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
Act 10:13 And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
Act 10:14 But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
Act 10:15 And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

The Bible Is His word. I hate people putting words in my mouth. Imagine His repulse. Look up the word Cannon. So what, if you put words in my mouth I didn't say. Look up Molly Hatchet "Flirtin' with Disaster". Now look up those words you said He said. He made gator country!
