God and Adam
Hey Cg, I studied this in my 20s and believe that Jesus was Melchizedek, the incarnation of God in the OT. For sure, according to scripture, Jesus was there at the beginning with God and the NT says the whole world was created by him and thru him. God sent Jesus to be His hands and feet and now that Jesus has returned to the Father, His children are awarded that calling. Good thread.
I'm very interested in what you studied.
I always found it mind boggling that Adam was created in the image and likeness of God; but he was made of flesh. If God has no flesh, what is the term in my image referring to? Well, in my own image could mean the image he came up with? He actually formed Adam; but spoke everything else into existence. Can you recall anything that would help to confirm or deny this line of thought? It is really interesting to me. And I do value your spiritual connection; as well as a few others here.
ThanksBeth! You're killin' me!!! Lol
One moment I think you're for, the next, I'm not sure.
Clearly you are light. But I'm not sure if you are agreeing with look alike or no.
Do you think Adam looked like God or is the image spiritual and or simply God's very own creation?
I'm just not positive how you interpret the scriptures. I just want to be sure I see the full picture of what God is most likely saying. I know you can help me clear it up in my head. Thanks for bearing with me.Thank you! A great sigh of relief.
I too believe we cannot imagine. It just does not seem fathomable.
To say we can't imagine (which I agree with) and then say all we have to do is look in the mirror (which I'm mentally flip-flopping) seems kinda... confusing?
I guess I do know that we may only speculate and this point is not of urgency to a spiritual walk. I just feel like a kid in a candy factory. can't you feel me tugging at your hem along each aisle? Lol!!! lt popped into my head and I threw it out there.
The scriptures you provided were key. The mirror was enlightening.
Good thought. But God formed her differently. She had her very own stuffs that distinguished her from the man. She was not the forethought that Adam was. She came to enhance his experience and give him children
she plays a very important role in the complete aspect of things. She was the very last creation. But certainly not least. God topped off his creating with woman. She was the last work he put his hands to. Adam was impressed.Well where were you when they organized the canon? That's brilliantly described!
God gave her her very own chemical make-up. She had to do things that her guy was not made-up to do. she was not given his strength, so she needed his protection. She was made of him not like him.
The genetics are original. We may only speculate as to what they must have been before death took over. The Lord must have needed to make some changes for adaptation to the newer dying world with its thorns and stuff.
Thank you. I feel that we're on to something.
We are also able to "rule" our surroundings/make decisions, and control our thoughts.
How do you feel about "likeness" being used to point out that Adam was created immortal "like" God?
For the record, I don't believe that this is anything more than minor discussion about the deeper things/meaning of scripture. Belief either way is not something that will count against anyone. We also know, through the spirit, the important matters of the law we have been given. We know his voice.
And you sound familiar
Adam was made "god" of the fishies and stuff.
I see what you mean though. Image and likeness. Spiritual. It just seems that flesh would put the body of man in a totally different category of spiritual.
SirDent kind of prompted this line of thought when he spoke of the spirit aspect of Adam. And he has not input as of yet. Hopefully, we will hear from him. I really would like to know where he is on this.
Do you know if the body of Adam was transformed at all by his disobedience? Was he changed? I know his body started the process of dying at that moment but did it change him physically? Do we have word on that?
Not just Mormons.
When a Catholic priest is ordained, he becomes "a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." Words directly from the ordination and directly from Scripture as well.
Just thought I'd toss that in there.
Renewing of mind is what it takes.
Nakedness causes sin in many arenas.God don't need no swinging things
he makes children with his hands. The tempting parts are not there.
The appearance of naked t'na or bulging other stuff arouses thoughts that most likely should not be there for many. One could not even be thinking lasciviously; then one flash of the flesh...
Ya know???
Kinda. He spoke everything else into existence. He did not even take part in giving the beast and his own kind or the crawling creepers nor the swimmers their names. But Adam and Eve he formed especially. In his (very own creation) image. Can you feel me???
You're killin' me Wilderness!
Ok, instead of, "in our own image" we could replace that with "my very own masterpiece that I will put together myself"
It just sounds logical to me at this point. I just never understood "in my own image" if one is flesh and one is spirit. God can be what he wants. Does he have an image per se? Just my thoughts. I was hoping someone could give me a confirm or deny based upon scripture. Beth did well. But I am still wondering. With your statement that he must not be flesh and blood; I agree...

0I have great respect for the way you put thoughts together. It's like you have a 7th sense.
The instinct comes from the brain. What else do you suppose we could be driven by?
And will you also please explain what you mean by God changing his attitude first?The way I see it, the God of the OT is the same, bow to me or suffer kind of guy as in the NT. Jesus came to show us the true mind of God; and what it all means.
In the OT, the instruction was for the travelers. He wanted to keep them pure and unspotted. They did not listen. Then enters Jesus right on schedule. he provided a way of escape from the death of sin. He showed us how to do the word of God.
God has not changed. And he never will. He will be doing a final sweep of those who do not listen. He promised.That's interesting. To place oneself in the f- it category is remarkable. We each have our own decision to make though. God deals with our cognition. That area is very powerful. He made the way easy and potentially successful. No must for walking it if one would prefer swept.
However, he WILL allow a big change of "attitude" as long as one lives.
The bible says that there is hell. The bible also says that we cannot make up our own rules. That is not a stab at any other religion. It simply means that Christianiy is tied to the bible. It is what Christians believe. ALL of it. Those who pick and choose what they will have faith in/adhere to biblically are simply not on the path that Christ paved. Truth is truth. Where else do we find the words of Christ??? He said be doers and not hearers only. You look in the mirror and forget the image as soon as you turn away? Christians are convicted by many parts of scripture. They do not puff up become proud and become haughty. They bow their heads in sorrow and pray to be healed. Christians love above all else. Love hurts sometimes.
and the smack on the face in the face of truth, really hurts sometimes. I know that well!!!
But Jesus was not a conformer. He did not giggle and laugh with those who did not believe him. He ran with those who knew they needed what he had.
The bible is called reproof for those on the path. Not a history book to be poked at. He hid the message well from those who do not follow. He laid the path biblically. To pick and choose what we will or will not agree with is not tolerated. He is not negotiating a contract. He did that already. What from the old must we adhere to??? Jesus told us in the new. We are not contracting. We are WALKING the path already laid already. Nothing added. Absolutely nothing subtracted. Jesus paid the cost to be the... he says what right is. When you have the FREE EAR you hear him.
***FREE EARS AVAILABLE AT A LOCATION IN YOU!!!
*while supplies last
I just remembered that Jesus very consistently rebuked his followers for fear, doubt, and disbelief.
God did not supply us with the spirit of fear. When we suffer that emotion, we are not dealing with a holy spirit. No offenses intended. Truth of bible.
If I were rich, I would find each of you and take you to dinner or recreation, or bowling, or Acapulco we'd kick it; and you would see how cool I am. I'm also very over myself. This is not a need to beat anyone over the head with anything. Honest. I just input something from scripture to confirm or deny. It is how I check myself. We are definitely ok to agree to disagree.I don't think we disagree as much as you think. Jesus did rebuke his followers when their faith wavered - as he does for me when I have moments of doubt or fear or find myself struggling to trust. But he never let Peter sink when he began to sink as he was walked on the water. When the disciples feared the storm while he slept, he didn't abandon them or lessen his love for them. And when Thomas asked, he allowed him to touch his wounds. He didn't tell him his faith was unsatisfactory.
I trust-even when I doubt. I trust-even when I'm anxious or afraid. And I've never been let down. And, oh how I've been chastised and continue to walk through the refiner's fire daily!
It's just the ways in which you and I express our faith that make the difference-and that's totally okay.The Lord does things differently now.
Have you ever heard of the new testament? It was a turning point. Jesus came; fulfilled the law and mixed the races. Now the bible does say that the treasures of the wicked are stored up for the righteous. He probably won't take MY house and give it to YOU, but...
He was not a parent of the Egyptians in that time. So you are RIGHT there (+1)!!! As for shoe shining? That may be the least of worry for now. We've got bigger fish to fry.
Aint no flow to go with here. Those who speak for God are few and far between (where are you SirDent?
) on this network.
We progress in faith. It is a great progression, and often painful.
But the reward is great too. Progression in wisdom...??? Shooooooot... none compares
I hear you but we cannot edit the bible. It was already done.
There are some poems some analogy and some metaphor but I believe God had some terrifying ways of dealing with the sinfully wicked. He hates sin. When you proudly wear that cape, he cannot see the glory of the blood of Jesus. Your scarlet sin is just that. No covering.
Atheists run the world. Remember?
The particular comments usually reappear after some time. Possibly on the previous page as people sometimes respond quickly and the system seems to need to catch up and reorganize based on order??? I'm not sure. But you usually can go back a page or two and find the comments after 1/2 hour or so.
Osiris schmiris!
check your book. There were a few differences between the two. Jesus came to show us God. Do you believe that?Your last statement is the ringer. No Christianity for you. Is that a problem? Because you seem pretty perched.
Jesus coming to save us is one of the biblical basic truths.
My take on this mythology is that they are basically recognized as myths.
Quite possible in my mind that someone has visions and drew them out. Could have been predictions.
I wholeheartedly believe the biblical accounts. Now our conversation will onlybe mmisdirected. We are speaking from two different planes. I, Jesus spiritual. You, another kind. How will we climb this mountain?
Uh, you want me to move it for you? Lol!!!
Well ok, some people who wear the Christian title do get locked out for winning arguments and occasionally embarrassing super smart asses with big fat BS degrees.
I forget that part... no biggie. This battle was won thousands of years ago. The Lord will not be shushed. He's much mightier.
The unfair ban...discussed over and over.
It has happened to most of us repeatedly. But it seems that the Christian must not be as interested in the report button.Yeah, we discussed that too. Faith Everyone has It, was the name of the forum. Also, True that people attack to get a banable response? was another discussion we already had. Not too long ago.
You are right on-track!
Your faith shines as well as a handful of others here. (I just cannot get with the idea that God is not what the bible says he is; nor that he did not do what the bible says he did) God does not think as we.
The OT was full of his vengeance and wrath. I believe he wanted to show us his power and his intolerance of disobedience. Though each of us struggle he desires that we have the right ideas about what he says is right, so we will at least be headed in that direction. He can work with a repentant heart. He can work with humility. He can increase faith and faithfulness. But we must meet him where HE is. He doesn't change his way to appease. Spirit and TRUTH.
Some will never get that
He changed after the bite. Immediately different. Knowledge of nakedness.
What an awesome thought.
Thanks.- Motown2Chitownposted 11 years ago0
Trust is earned. Respect is everyone's right. Right???
"I tolerate them as long as they toe the line I draw everyday with my big red matker???" Lol
Who did you say are you again???So then one could say that I "tolerate" you??? Who, did you say, am I???
Thanks for "tolerating" me. It is appreciated to the max!We MUST remember that God never changes. We cannot be unfaithfully tossed to and fro by every new idea.
Thanks!Computers were a new idea, the internet was a new idea, this forum was a new idea. Funny, how you seem to be using them extensively and unfettered after saying that.
New idea??? People have been finding faster ways of communication for eons.
I keep up with that. However, in matters of the heart/mind/spirit, I have one formula. I stand on that. No swaying; no bending; no sugars; no additives. Just "salt". And the salt was already provided. Jesus is the salt. His spirit changes its surroundings. If we have him; we change our surroundings. If we don't, we have "lost our savor" which isn't good.
I'm just know he thanks you.
Btw...what is admirable? I mean, who decides what admirable is? Have you written a book on the do' and don'ts of admirable? How do we ensure admirability??? Are you the only QCI we have on the matter; or are there others?
Yes, we should look carefully at your keywords. We can actually see and talk with a CEO, but we can't see or talk with your God.
If I had the opportunity to do so, I certainly would pull out a red marker on Him.I see your red markings all over the place
and God does too.
You cannot see him because it is clear that you do not want to. Proving the fact that he is not there seems most important to you to me. Am I right?
Michael...you're "singing" to the choir.
I am aware of how the spirit of God works. Thanks for knowing and conveying.
Matthew 10:34“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Too many people are caramelizing the words of Jesus. He brings abundant LIFE. Not the way that leads unto death. He told us how to get abundant LIFE.
God's children are soldiers equipped with armor. Not creampuffs looking for a grand ol time here on earth. He called us OUT of the world. He was NOT nor are we friends of the masses. The world hates him then and now. They "hate" me too. and I am eternally grateful for that assurance.Exactly.
I was talking to my mom today about the fact that we all are guided by spirit (personality). The decision is based upon what personality one allows to dominate. The spirit of "knowledge" rules the forums here. Everyone's so proud of their worldly education. Don't KNOW a darn thing...
When was the last time a scientist flew a plane into a building over their theory. Dear me.
I love to see it because it proves my argument that religion causes nothing but conflict. And yes - I would also love for it to go away. All the time we have people who insist they deciphered the majick book properly it will not. Hopefully the clear evidence that this belief causes conflict will help it go away. Therefore I love to see the conflict so clearly - maybe some people will realize how ridiculous these beliefs are and start thinking instead of preaching nonsense.I can understand why other people thinking would bother you.
This thing about the tampering of the words of scripture blows me left and right
We as humans were not there with Jesus. We were not there with Paul. We simply were not there. How on earth can we know that the minds of men did not sit down to manufacture the whole thing???
How can we be knowledegable enough to know what GOES from scriprure and what actually belongs there...our OWN understanding???This would appear that you are now questioning the validity of the words that the men have written as being from of your God, but you spout about daily. Would not those men who sat down to write the words that make up the bible believe that they have the same "spirit" that you spout about daily? and those people were closet to the time that all of these events supposedly happened. So what makes your so-called "spirit" stronger now in a diluted time and place that the bible has been passed down and retold several times stronger or better than the original writers? Isn't such questioning of those words in direct opposition to "trusting in God and leaning not to your own understanding"?
we'll save you a seat by the fireOkay, So Those who are of God hear God's words and Christ speaks God's utterances? Well, it is Genaea's contentions that the words don't matter. The Bible tell us what Jesus says But she is of the mind that the words in the bible don't matter enough to her to accurately quote them. She claims that "spirit is all you need.". So Which is it? Do the actual (not perceived) words in the Bible matter or not? Because your story is in conflict (no surprise there) with hers.
Tell you what, We'll save a seat for you too, just in caseI wonder why this tendency to misconceive Genaea... well, no I don't...
He kills flesh. We are supposed to kill our own; daily.
Do you know what that means?Uh...YEAH...
I so appreciate the assistance of the spirit of the Lord as he assists in truth at EVERY turn.
The reason why I serve...
Ah - so you don't need to learn ancient Greek after all. You just need to see the "symbolism." When Jesus tells you to fear the one with the power to throw you into hell he doesn't mean fear huh? Just a symbol for "love" I suppose.
Seen with the eyes of reality there is no such thing as Divine Love. But - lets be blunt - without the stick and carrot - these religions make no sense at all.
Don't you see that you claiming to be "Seeing With Divine Love," is the reason for the conflict?Sorry - that question didn't make sense, please try again. Perhaps after reading the argument between the 2 religionists? You religious people are all the same. Argue and fight amongst yourselves until it is time to turn on the unbelievers. Seems to be the only thing you can agree on.
I think you are misunderstanding the words "proven," and "theorem." The words you are seeking are "opinion," and "argument." No offense, but deliberately misusing words in this fashion causes conflict.
We just need to know the mind of Christ. I mean spirit of Christ. The spirit tells the faithful what it means to die daily. Any fool knows that we only actually are able to die (flatline) once. It only takes a level of reason to get that part.
I feel you on the snake handling. It too was metaphor. No, we do not pick up slithering hissers; it's like tempting/testing the hand of God which Jesus TOLD us NOT to do. But didn't Jesus call a group of people a pit of snakes??? I will check. But I think we know there. Same with drinking a poison thing. No, fingernail polish remover is not a beverage. God's children know that. Testers and tempters (possibly snakes) are drinking poison every day to prove a point. What is that point? "I do not know the spirit of God."
If scripture is falsified, we are all doomed. For we really cannot tell if "Love your neighbor as yourself" is not just ADDED to make the Quakers feel better.
Faith. A book is not the spirit of the words, spirit is spirit. It will speak to you in ways beyond any book that man has made. The correct spirit is the one that speaks to your heart, soul, and spirit. After knowing the history of the Bible, and the truth of it's author's (including the ridiculous life of King James), I let God speak to me one on one:)
I used to live in Chicago as well, stayed out west on Warren and Sacramento before moving to Markham, my lil sister still lives in Markham.
nice chattin...Yeah, Markham I know.
used to live there myself.
And just so you know, no one speaks to our hearts better than we ourselves. There is a foolproof way of insuring that we know the voice of God from our own. It is written.
If man tells me, "God told me to kill this irritating jerk who cut him off on the expressway, I know that he is a liar. God does not speak that way. Jesus came. He showed and told us the heart of God.
God used wife-stealing David, Fire breathing Peter, and the despicable Matthew. For sure he may use King James' "sweet" self to get his points across.
The words were written and preserved for thousands of years for a reason.
We needed to know Jesus.
Not MY little set; Jesus gave the rules that I speak of.
JW is not my sect. I cannot claim one, though the COGIC and Baptist faiths are my background. I found that God is not in the church way more than he is. I don't bother. (I hope my mom's not listening.)
And you are NOT defending the love of GOD. You defend what MAN "loves" forgetting that MAN does not know love without God. They cannot know God without knowing his son. Again not MY rules.

If God be for you; he is more than the world against you.
He asked that we tell of his goodness. We have no right to keep silent when we see the injustice of brains taking over and trying to compensate for spirit with "knowledge" of the age of the earth; or the number of people going to paradise when Christ returns; or the big and little f's of faith.
The Lord desires that we serve him in spirit and in truth. What Jesus said is the only real truth I know. I will be saying THAT until they roll me away.Here is Godel's theorem, please clarify and teach:
Seems like your God approach is one-sided too!!!
only the highly complex are this technical.
On the path that Jesus laid, a fool, will not err. Now, I'm no fool (though I know you and others disregard) but not even I would be able to know Jesus or God if presented this way.
You explained the process, I think, and every word glazed over. I make no bones about it. Im just glad that the Father does not require this here knowledge. We have so many graces on HIS PATH.Seems like your God approach is one-sided too!!!

Entertaining...
For the record, I am not mentally unstable!!! (On Thursdays )
I have a firm grasp on reality. It's just that, because of my faith, my reality has been different.
God is real to me. Nothing anyone says outweighs that FACT.
Call me whatever adjective; label my mind; kick me out of the conversation...
I am fully secure in Jesus alone.
The truth of scripture STANDS without me. All have an invitation to the kingdom of God. Accept or don't...orrrrr, mock it til the sky opens up to a bright light shining in the form of the Son; who will reign forever more. (After the judgment)I understand that nothing anyone says will change your mind. There is only one reality, and there doesn't seem to be any truth in your scripture. It is becoming pretty clear that Jesus did not even exist. Until recently anyone who questioned that was reviled, but nowadays actual truths are emerging. One of which is that there is absolutely no evidence that Jesus was a real person. The enslavement and Exodus never happened either. Sorry. Reality is like that.
Interesting how good that seems to make you feel. Those unbelievers will get what for because they don't believe the stuff you believe huh? How very Christian of you.
REALLY in for a rude awakening? Of course you don't. That is because you refuse to use your own understanding. I can try again using smaller words if you wish.
Interesting.
You seem happy at the thought of me being judged and punished when your Sky Daddy returns to punish those who refuse to believe as you do.
REALLY in for s rude awakening huh?
This is very Christ-like of you.
Sorry you don't understand why that puts me off of your religion.
Thanks for reminding me why I first rejected it.
Jesus must be very proud of you.
No, YOUR faith won't let YOU look at it.
Your god waited 13.8 billion years just to majick us into existence to worship HIM? I wonder if you realize how silly that is?
This is possibly the most ridiculous thing you have said. 1+1=god?
Sweetie - are you talking about Godel's ontological proof? A poorly constructed (IMNSHO) attempt at a logical argument that an Invisible Super Being must exist? If you are - you are sorely mistaken that this constitutes scientific proof that your Sky Daddy exists. I suggest you go check the meaning of the words you are using. Logically - a god cannot exist. Please don't bother copy pasting any more "proof."
Now who calls you the expert on what reality is? You were scared to tell me if the tree made a sound if you weren't there to hear it.
I say you are the one who cannot find reality. You are totally cut-off from an entire realm...
I know ya like it like dat; but...Man up?
No wonder your beliefs cause so many conflicts. There is no scientific proof. There is not even a "God theorem." Shocking. There was no before. Sorry you are incapable of understanding that. It must be very frustrating for you. Why not fill the blanks in with "goddunit,"? Having done that - I suggest closing your ears to reason and attacking anyone who doesn't believe you. Thank goodness you are no longer allowed to burn atheists at the stake huh?
The feeding frenzy cannot go away. Thanks anyway.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood; but spirit. The only protection from that is in the word of God.
Which, again, you just do not seem to agree with.
I do not mean that offensively, I am only going by the way you seem to want to wrap all religious thought into one HUGE package. It goes against what Jesus taught. Your spirit is not like Christ to me. You say "other" things. Jesus has one way. We must meet him THERE.
Yes! Remember Paul on the road???
The preeminence of Jesus was God the father and his will. He did not come to save anyone with no faith in him as first-born.
I feel that you may assume that to be an UNloving act; but we aint got to YOUR will yet.I am specifically referring to the metaphor part. Where/what is it?
You know you gotta "dumb it down" for us simpletons.
I must know what to respond to.
How silly. What a feeble and pathetic god if we are the best it can do.
Yes. Unfortunately, two humans is not a big enough gene pool to have populated the earth, so this story cannot be true.
Evolution.
No instructions - sorry.
Good and evil are concepts and many are not bothered by them. Certainly you are not.
Yes.
The bible cannot be trusted and is not pure truth. We have to find our own answers. Lean on our own understanding. Make our own purpose. No matter how much you stand in the way of that, this is the truth.Good worldy perception. The ideas are just not biblical. That is always the angle I report from.
God is spiritual; and thinks nothing like we do. We must try to align our thoughts with his based upon what we know from scripture.
But ok, you are not Christian (follower of Jesus). Our reality differs a bit. I can handle that.
How sad for you.Do you feel hopeless all the time?
I meant give in. Faith is given wilderness. We just put it in...things we can see??? But by now, you know better. You cannot see a lot of stuff that happens daily right under your nose. But still it is NOT good enough. Your faith is misplaced. You believe your reports from your unseen experiments conducted in the fields of Africa and Asia. Your faith is there. And you refuse that fact. You'd rather blame God in hopes that he will accept that blame. Nope. He sent you the word. You just reject it in favor of eye candy and ear scratchers.
I believe you purposely twist my words.
to be clear, you have NO faith in my sky daddy. Your faith is in man. Clearly.
Please stop attacking me. This is not convincing me you have peace of mind.
Yawn. Fake Christian lies about being persecuted. Again. No wonder you cause so many fights.
Pathetic??? What an adjective... so accusatory. Seems some sort of form of pathology. But very condescending in its ultimate sense. It implies that you yourself are somehow NOT pathetic... like you are somehow a better person for not accepting the hand of God.
Oh look, I was right, you do keep referring to it without even understanding it yourself.
We may have a new candidate here for the most disingenuous poster on these forums.That, from someone who has yet to open another book other than the bible and adamantly refuses to learn anything.
Nice right?
How many of the debunk experiments have YOU attended??? How many theorums have YOU faithfully/blindly accepted?
Ouch RA...! You speaking down to my peeps. It seems as if you have pegged us liars.
but determining one unABLE to discern morals??? Low...
Truth is as WE see it. Who are you to determine anything? There is only one determiner. And you are not he. Nor do you care to be. There is no reason to resort to fancy name-calling and condescension to the nth; unless you have exhausted all other "evidence" with which to make your point. And I just know that you are much too busy with your verification processes down at the science headquarters to have run out of "evidence" to share.
So, let us hear more about your ABILITY to know truth and determine morality. Name-calling can get somewhat projectiony and boomerangy.Slavery and genocide are wrong in most cases today. Jesus came.
Humans are imperfect. Therefore prone to imperfect perceptions and/or judgments. They may guess. But the humans here in America are currently enslaving poor and minority people at alarming rates. Blacks make up about 13% of the population. Black males less than half that. However, in current penal institutions, they greatly and by far out-number EVERYONE else. Here in America, schools and low-income assistance and housing are closing. But we are building more and more prisons. WHICH humans are capable of justice without further insult??? I told you MY stupid story... I thought those who pointed their finger at the law when "caught" were liars. Then I experienced what they said... made me think...- First, I am sure that in this country and others, people trade servitude for needed resources. Some would call that slavery. However prisons are not built for non virgins, seems America likes them... but prisons are built for the wayward criminals. And I guess this country considers Black males a good fit for that category. problem with the culture??? Why yes!!! The problems are constantly bestowed upon the culture's good and bad alike. Thanks for noticing
Genocide is not good ever in my opinion, UNLESS the pharoh brings his madness again.
Am I moral? I think so. Are you???We ALREADY change our laws to "better" fit the demographic.
don't be confused; read the daily paper.
Yes!
Freedom... it's a Christ concept. Because he brought almost all of those rules! Free to make OUR OWN decision about which force/conscience will rule our minds. Good answer!!! (Whew...I thought you were under the impression that God "decided" for you.)
Incidentally
I did all that I could do. Now what???
Morality...

Interesting. When was it better exactly?
Be specific or it looks like you are making stuff up. You already get burned for preaching and divorcing and living in sin. Don't add to your crimes. You sure you believe? For some reason you judge one who is way beyond your judgment.
I think it's really funny; and I LOL each time. You are just FULL of cuteness.
It was better when children didn't take gunns to school and when mass murderers didn't shoot up college campuses. You remember when... right?
Oh, btw...we are judged by the way we judge. Don't slide down the slope
