Love suffers long and is kind;love does not envy;love does not parade itself,is not puffed up;does not behave rudely,does not seek its own,is not provoked,thinks no evil;does not rejoice in iniquity,but rejoices in truth;bears all things,believes all things,endures all things.Love never fails.Therefore Love the LORD with all your heart ,with all your soul,and with all your mind.And Love your neighbor as yourself.For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.For GOD did not send his son into the world to condemn the world,but that the world through him might be saved.
Well I don't believe any god sent his son anywhere, the whole pathetic hateful tome you got your beliefs from is a crock!
someone forgot there anti hateful pills,how about some love earnest!!!
LOL on the anti hateful pills
I sure think we would all be better off if more people took Corinthians to heart. Less broken marriages and vows, less selfishness. More care of people. More eyes on the bigger picture. Thanks for the reminder Holly

I told you, I don't do hate, that is a religious speciality.
Here is a fine example of hate and intolerance.
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Sweet and gentle, kind and loving religion?

You are a very intelligent man and for you to say that you do not hate is beneath your intelligence. Hate is a harsh word, but there is some hate in all of us......
As bad as you talk about the fundies, you cannot convince anyone that you don't hate them. You may say you hate their (our) beliefs, but you darn sure talk to us like you hate us....what are we supposed to assume from the nature of some of your comments?....that you Love us?
Please, enlighten me......
OK, I can enlighten you on that. Like I said, I don't do hate.
I hate no one. If you needed help, I would be the first to offer it, do it every day of my life.
I dislike hate as an emotion as it is useless. I do not accept your beliefs, I do not like your hate filled tome, I do not agree with religion.
The world is a mirror. You are seeing your hate and reflecting it on others. Not psychologically wise and does damage to self at least.
Dear Earnestshub, there has to be some form of punishment or correction for crime. Our land in which we reside is built upon the law that God first laid down. This is why we have correctional facilities and sometimes even death penalties for breaking certain laws. Because the lord knew if we did not fear breaking the law there would be total(caos) meaning there would be no order as we know it. Order begets peace", which is for the most part what we have the privaledge to enjoy living in the US! Without these laws we would be totally barbaric"
Are you serious? Do you think these are good examples of justice? Your God is full of hate then, and deserves all the scorn that he receives from nonbelievers. It is not that we should live in a lawless society, but the laws should be JUST and sensible. These laws are babaric!!!

Way to give the Word!!!!! Straight and to the point, let the chips fall where they may.....
Yes! Lets do that.
"I will sweep away everything in all your land," says the LORD. "I will sweep away both people and animals alike. Even the birds of the air and the fish in the sea will die. I will reduce the wicked to heaps of rubble, along with the rest of humanity," says the LORD. "I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship. I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests, so that even the memory of them will disappear. For they go up to their roofs and bow to the sun, moon, and stars. They claim to follow the LORD, but then they worship Molech, too. So now I will destroy them! And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the LORD's guidance or seek my blessings." (Zephaniah 1:2-6 NLT)

Have you ever read anything but the warring scriptures in the Old Testament? It is obvious that you know something about the history of the Israelites, but do you know anything about God?
2 years bible study in English Greek and Hebrew, a religionist upbringing, and yes I know the bible pretty well.
Blessed is he who is not offended because of me,for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are preishing,but to those of us who are being saved it is the POWER OF GOD.IT is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise?Where is the disputer of this age?Has not GOD made foolish the wisdom of this world?for since ,in the wisdom of GOD,the world through wisdom did not know GOD
Rhubarb! Your tiny little psychotic god couldn't get a pie in the face in a pie fight!
He is the creator of all things,he made us in his image,and dont want us on our knees for a piece of stone or wood !!!
if your going to tell a story tell the whole story and not yours!!!
Not my story.
I didn't write the bible, a bunch of psychotic sexist goat herders did.
feel so sorry for all that knowledge and no wisdom to use it with
I find it amusing that you found your beliefs without the only source of them!
what score got to do with it,hay that sounds like a song I heard!!!lol
my religious sister had that read at her wedding. it was really pretty...
Thanks. The Corinthian letter is very good advice.
I have a hub on how my Dad followed that outline-- though he was not 'religious' in the usual sense.
This is how I love, Buddha-style:
impartial to all, free from excessive attachment or false hope and expectation;
accepting, tolerant, and forgiving
and yet you try to make fun of a hubbers score!hum
Love never fails!! So true.. but there is no love without pain!
Firstly, alot of the scriptures are metaphysical, not literal. And when I have read what a theologian has translated, it is vastly different than what I have thought the meaning of passages to mean.
I am not a biblical believer. I do love and respect true faith and spirit.
On a lighter note, at home we have what we call a portuguese inquisition. It is the opposite of the spanish inquisition. The women are the revered priestesses and the men are on trial...
Beyond all of this is love.. LOVE heals all and can mend what religion and politics distort.
What a pitiful display of dogmatic dog droppings, and the OP protecting his 'words' with weakness and poor taste. Come back Sir Dent, now there is a fighting man !!!
Why do these relentless posts continue? It's always the same thing.
Truth. ..... an interesting concept biblically speaking!
Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB)
How is the mountain moving going?
I think you are mistaking bowel movement for mountain movement.
You have that the wrong way around. I have understanding, therefore no belief in the impossible tooth fairy.
if your not of GOD you cannot understand the things of GOD,and most people attack the thing they cant understand
Really? So if I attack poverty, lies or hateful religious nonsense that means I don't understand it?
How does that work?
so your saying you dont understand , poverty,lies or religion.I told you , you have no understanding and no mater how much I explain you will not get it !!!
No, I never said that. If you would like to debate religion with me, you better lift your game and stop being personal.
I would guess you would not know my background in religion or anything else about me.
Telling lies about what I have said just won't cut it.
How much do you know about your religion? I would suggest it is not much.
Earnest, are you playing with innocent minds?
I left you a lovely message in the antecessor thread.
Thanks Faybe, I will jump on my unicorn and rip on over there!
you started it with me , you call me names and you twist everything I say ,and now you act like someone did something wrong!!!you remind of a kid I went to school with,he went around the class hitting other kids and when one hit back he would scream and cry to the teacher and get the other kid in trouble.and talk about a decietful spirit !!!
No, untrue. Read the threads!
Show me where I called you names.
Your personal attacks mean nothing to me, I am well used to it from religious fanatics.
You handle the truth rather loosely don't you?
I agree. I think it ironic that the beginning of the thread seems to be about Love.
I believe in my Bible it says something like Love is Patient and Kind, longsuffering, not envious, oh and not proud or boastful. There is too something about not Sounding as a Symbol. (or brass depending on the interpretation.)
The funny thing about these threads is that no matter how often or how many ways you try to explain to the believers they all immediately jump to they are being attacked personally.
Which leads me to wonder if they all believe they are God?
I have seen many non believers try to explain the inconsistencies and such in religion and I have seen some very creative language used when referring to God but I do not usually see the non believers attacking other Hubbers.
I have e-mailed the OP. I felt it was my duty. One hub in three months, one criticism from a Christian who told him how to edit his hub, and one other comment. He has not replied to either comment, and not edited his hub either, but insists on coming in here, posting love and then bashing anyone who gets in his way. It is sad.
They must believe they are !
They believe they've been created as God's image.
I don't know why ?!
Imagine a God like us !
Tantrum... I have tried to imagine a God anything like me... Or any of my Husbands!
On a lighter note, maybe it was just the first Hermaphrodite, as Adam was both male and Female and Perfect in the day He was created, maybe that was the image of God. (Not my theory, no one stone me, it's from the Kabballah, which is older than the Bible)
The god I see described is jealous, petty, neurotic and likes nothing better than a spot of mass murder. Even humans are not generally that bad!
Worship me or die? From a god? Any wonder people attack this idea of a god, it sounds like a right basket-case!
But when humans are bad, they're terrible. So maybe God's like that: a terrible God !
It shows in the Bible, and in some believers' attitude as well.
And yet not one comment about the Hermaphrodite part? And I was worried, wait till the Christians get back, I am probably dead meat.
Nah, they will get their knickers in a knot, but really, it matters little. Happens all the time!
I love the whole hermaphrodite theory, because the Hassidics have used this to explain homosexuality as a normal progression, due to the splitting of this dual sexed ancestor. It is a pretty cool theory, and being Kabbalah, they admit it is a theory.

The most important thing you should consider over anything else is how you treat others. It's great to find God, but it's more important to just BE A GOOD PERSON. It's what everyone should strive for first. Not money. Not beauty. Not knowledge. At the end of the day, all you really have is what you...

Isn't this a wonderful virtue? Men instinctively defend themselves against attackers and generally take revenge after pain is inflicted on them. But check out this mind-boggling verse from the Bible:Sons of the Perfect Holy Father in heaven:Mat 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You...
