You are totally free to express your beliefs and defend them in these threads. No one is telling you that you cannot. If you choose not to, that is your decision. You cannot lay the blame on Christians for your choice not to express, discuss, and defend your beliefs.

Anyone can plainly see that the real issue is not a lack of freedom for others to express, discuss, and defend their faith, it is really about a desire to silence Biblical Christians that choose to share and discuss their beliefs.

To sum it up like I have said many times (and of course not just me but many others before me) the threads do not promote discussion in the least. Care to remember a previous thread created where Crushmaster was setting restrictions as to who should post and what they should post?

Or the plenty times when you yourself first have turned the discussion about the users themselves and not the discussion at hand? Or many many other things.

But the point is that of course you cannot directly tell me to leave the thread because you know you do not have the power; no one has the power to throw someone out of a discussion so I find your response quite redundant.

(RED) Anyone? Wait that must be only about 5 people in GS in reality....

Rather that use "drive-bys" and strawmen, why not address the points I made?

No...now stop with all teh lies!

He most certainly did.

I doubt he even existed, allthat the 'divine life' of Jesusis is an astroligical allegory anyways.

If anyone seems to be attempting to silence or exclude a group that holds certain beliefs from discussing their "side of the issue", them, it appears to be you.blackregiment

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Most denominations understand the use of metaphor and symbolism in the Bible. That does not negate the message that is in the Bible. Originally the Bible was spoken...and as with all pre written documents...it had to be presented in such a way as to be memorable. Plus, the symbolism was understood by the people that used it.

But the evangelists dont accept any interpretation efforts. For them there is no allegory in the Bible because for them allegory would mean that god was lying.

Are you all insane works of satan himself? Jesus did not sin, he was true God, but also true man, he cannot sin, because then he would not be holy.

The afterlife brochure mentioned only waffles! So there will be surprises?

Yay! :D

Of course. It was in Revelations:

The wall was made of jasper and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. the foundation of the city walls were made of every sort of precious stone. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. the great street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass, and through the gates wafted the scent of funnel cakes.

Crushmaster, I'm glad that you're attempting to have a discussion, but this part of your post still concerns me:

[QUOTE="Crushmaster"]

Please Note: This topic's purpose is evangelism.

Hence, you're not really looking for discussion at all. But, I'll bite. If the Bible is to be believed, then no, Jesus Christ did not commit sin.

[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]I know that.

[QUOTE="iowastate"][QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]Interestingly enough, according to blackregiment the bit of the Bible that tells you to give all your stuff to the poor isn't meant to be taken literally. Funny, that.3picuri3

it's not even necessarily speaking out against christianity, it's just discussing alternatives and different interpretations and their reluctance to accept that people have views they feel to be true as well that got them in to trouble.

you have to respect eachother in here, it has nothing to do with religious differences and persecution (that's just the simplest defense mechanism they use) it's all about respect. it's ludicrous that they feel there is some closed-door campaign with the aim to suppress them when ironically what started this whole mess was the refutal and suppression of other peoples beliefs through retorts and outright condemnation.

it is pure hypocrisy.

so - crush. is there any reason for your apparent habit to create these threads, comment for a bit, then leave when things get heated - yet continue to create threads elsewhere?

seems to be a recurring theme with these threads. do you not have the patience? do you leave when your goal seems to have been spoiled? just curious.

Well his wife was a prostitute so i would think so.

okay, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about Jesus getting married.blankhorizons

Jesus did not sin. He is God's son and died so that we might have life through him.

Wow, this is one persistent thread. And as far as people saying that "there's no evidence" that Jesus sinned - there's no evidence that he didn't. And the bible is NOT a reliable source - it was written by people who worshipped him, so I'd guess thaey were a little bias. Besides, I thought in christianity it was a sin to believe in other religions?... Jesus was a jew, after all. And you can deny it all you want - he was a jew.
