Twist much, lie much. I said, and you know this, that OT Law differs from Grace;
Liar. Your posts speak for themselves.
You quote a biblical rule as sacrosanct. When someone responds by asking if you follow certain OTHER biblical rules - from the Old Testament - you
respond with:
"You still hung up on Jewish Law? Don't forget that cotton and polyester thingy..... I thought surely you'd be smart enough to know that Christianity wasn't around back then."
Not that it ever stopped you from quoting the Old Testament when it suits your needs.
You only mentioned Grace when trying to deny your submoronic hypocrisy in criticizing the Koran for its passages regarding other religions. When people pointed out that the
exact same passages were in the Old Testament, you
respond with :
What's your point? This was written under Mosiac Law due to diobedienc; long before the Grace of God absolved us from thes harsh rectrictions. Christians do not abide by this today.....
...
and...
You take your opinions of the Bible from the writings of old Jewish Law; my opinions come from modern day news articles wherein many quotes from Muslims and their practices were taken.
...ignoring the fact that the New Covenant is in Islam too, and its relationship to the Old Covenant is the same.
And ignoring the fact that you can find plenty of modern day news articles with Christians advocating Old Testament practices and beliefs. Including yourself, when it aligns with your bigotry.
Yes, you can find some Islamists who advocate violence against other religions. Just like you find the same in Christianity. Heck, Christian Europe had pogroms AFTER the Holocaust.
Your saving grace is that as a liar and hypocrite, you're damned incompetent at it.
rstrong wrote:"Perversion, debauchery, and hatred for God" - your definition of any disagreement with your racism, homophobia, misogyny and hate.
I hate no one, race, gender, or sexual preference.
You just happen to constantly spew hatred based on all three.

"Most would disagree" ..... "Some major denominations" .... In defense of "real" Christianity, church leaders who celebrate same-sex relationships and support gender confusion aren't leading the church; they're following the culture.
That nonsense in so many ways.....
- The Catholic Church performed same-sex unions for a thousand years, from roughly 500AD to 1500AD. If
STOPPING that practice isn't "following the culture" then why would returning to it be?
- Not that Christian churches don't "follow the culture" regardless. Allowing cremation, until recently banned as a pagan practice. Treating other races as equals - a practice so recent that Mitt Romney - now considered for Secretary of State - was preaching "the Curse of Ham" while
draft dodging spreading Christianity in Europe. Etc. Etc.
- Your consider your cherry-picked passage in the
New Testament - the ONLY passage against homosexuality - to be sacrosanct. And yet you dismiss the next passage - against women speaking in church - as nonsense. At the very least,
You - YOUR twisted interpretation of Christianity - is "following the culture."
The other branches of Christianity have at most cherry picked differently than you have. And unlike you, they didn't cherry-pick based on their phobias, hatreds and fears.
