54 percent of Republicans do not believe in evolution? Really?

You want to talk about the NT's take on 'lukewarm' christians? It's pretty clearr that there is a special place in for those that pretend at devoutness like you have on full display here. Your god finds you wanting and there is no seat in the kingdom of heaven for the likes of you.

I did get a double post so I am guessing some of what I am saying is getting through.

FWIW, I would call Paul, Peter, John, etc frauds. Jesus not so much. Keep flailing though.

Backpeddling on Jesus now. If Peter, John, Paul are frauds and they were the ones chosen by Jesus to spread his word then that makes Jesus a fraud.

Jesus said he would rise from the dead in 3 days. If you say Jesus was not a fraud then you believe he rose from the dead, then you would have to believe he is God.

he, lol. poor indoctrinated rascal.

I never claimed to be devout. I even said I don't go to church very often but I am no atheist.

Clearly you are not. You know seem to know all the rules. Stand before God, and who will fail by standing. Where did you come up with all this?

Say: I don't know instead of judging and condemning Mr. Christian.

[pgardn]

That is the work of satan, to divide religions and pit man against man.

Just making stuff up.

Amazing...

I have stated many times that it is unfortunate that Jesus never worded his kabbalah. None of your Bible is written by jesus because jesus was illiterate. I am not going to call that guy a fraud for something he did not do.

When you start reading the Bible as something written by various priest classes making up stories and dictates in order to govern or otherwise exert social control then it makes a heck of a lot more sense. I think Paul especially did the world a gross disservice. The early Levites were contemptible tbh.

It's a meaningless point. None of the works of the NT were written by Jesus but instead written 70 years after he supposedly croaked.

Paul never lived or worked with Jesus. He supposedly saw him in a vision. Whenever someone tells you that they had a vision and the vision told them rules for you to live by, I personally take it with a grain of salt. Moses, Abraham, Smith, Muhammad, Paul, etc. Have to love how God only reveals himself to one person at a time. People love to eat up the notion of a chosen one.

as long as you're meeting the minimum requirements.

Personally I hate HOAs, so Heaven doesn't sound that great to me. I'm betting I can turn my house garage into a recreational room without getting a nasty letter from Satan telling my that I'm violating deed restrictions.
