-Caveat Lector-
Jayson, Christianity is not Judaism, which lives by the Old Testament. If you have
read the entire Bible, you would know that Jesus put to death with Himself the old
laws and brought forth an era of love and forgiveness. The fact that it has been used
to rule over and suppress others does not diminish Jesus' teachings in any way, but
makes it clear He knew what He was saying about false prophets and wolves in sheeps'
clothing. Just because many perverted Christianity into something else doesn't change
what it really is. There have always been the few who kept it alive and intact the way
it was meant to be, and usally paid with their lives. Nobody martyrs a corrupt
Christian. I have read the Dead Sea Scrolls, which I got a few years ago. I don't know
if it is the "recently released" version, as you say. I have read about many other
belief systems, and many have some fine points, but I will always believe in the
Truth, for it will never die.
**********************************************************************
I guess that, if I am to believe you and take the bible as a whole and
follow its teachings that I could have stoned to death my ex for
cheating, sold my children into slavery and condemed all who touch pig
products to exile or death. Get real. I have no quarell with your
belief in christianity. To me it is the same as believing in Sant Claus,
the Easter Bunny, or the boogyman.
The only use I
have for the bible is as a collection of folktales that help guide us to
ancient sites where we can dig up the facts. So you have read the bible,
have you read anything else? The recently released Dead Sea Scrolls from
which some of the bible is supposedly taken? How about any readings in
anthropology, archaeology or even Evolutionary Theory? Pretty hard to
reconcile scientific proofs with the folktales in the bible isn't it?
Oh, I'm sure you have answers, but are they from peer reviewed sources
or are they just the wild eyed ramblings of the 'faithfull'? Like you
say of Clinton "...lied so much that I can't believe a word said" that is
how I feel about christian dogma. History is repleat with the acts of
christianity, and no matter what is said, the acts speak for themselves.
