bac

[Undertoad]

Now having seen this new kinder gentler approach I have been moved to read this Zechariah, and notwithstanding all the other fire and brinstone crap in the Old Testament, it sure seems like they're indicating disease and not nuclear annihilation. At the time they would have no clue to this future technology, but flesh would often rot that way via various plagues, and the story of particularly horrorful plagues would travel.

Nuclear annihilation wouldn't reference the consuming of the flesh so much as the burning of it. If God intended to indicate nuclear here, he was a poor writer, apparently unable to select words for clarity.

The OT sure does suck, but then, I thought BACs put more importance into the NT. The NT sure does deny a lot of the fire and brimstone crap with a newfound attitude of tolerance and kindness.

A Softer Gentler Book righttttttttttttttttttttt

Child Beating.

"He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him takes care to chastise him" (Proverbs 13:24 NAB)

"Chastise your son, for in this there is hope, but do not desire his death. The man of violent temper pays the penalty; even if you rescue him, you will have to do it again." (Proverbs 19:18-19)

Baby Bashing.

"Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." Psalms 137:9

Become a Eunuch for God.

For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. (Matthew 19:12)

God Makes Wicked People.

The Lord has made everything for his own ends, even the wicked for the evil day. (Proverbs 16:4 )

A Ravenous Appetite is Bad.

And put a knife to your throat if you have a ravenous appetite. (Proverbs 23:2)

The Mouth of an Adulteress.

The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it. (Proverbs 22:14)

The Prince of Peace?

(Jesus speaking) "Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man 'against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's enemies will be those of his household'". (Matthew 10:34-36)

Slaves Must Respect Their Masters.

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2)

Women Are Subordinate to Men.

Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by Satan, and sin was the result. But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty. (1 Timothy 2:11-15)

Shut Up Women!

As in all the churches of the holy ones, women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. But if they want to learn anything, they should ask their husbands at home. For it is improper for a woman to speak in the church. (1 Corinthians 14:33-35)

Hate Your Family.

(Jesus Speaking) If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he can not be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

The Fiery Furnace.

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. (Matthew 13:41-42)

There is soooo much more, but I believe I made my point with these tid-bits.


In case you missed my point, all those books are full of shit.

So there, dov, you getting all the answers in life you wanted out of The Cellar? All your spiritual questions answered and all that jazz? Did you come here to have your "yes or no" question answered or simply to permit your flailing rants to be broadcast to the world?

That's surely true, but the overall NT message -- not contradicted by your examples -- does not contain the savagery and war of the OT. People were pretty much instructed to be cool, as opposed to the OT where they were often instructed to decimate entire enemy populations with the assistance of God.

You sought to make your own point, not to contradict mine, and so you failed to contradict mine and it stands -- y'see? If you want to disprove my point, you have to address it, you see?

I knew the answer before I asked it. It was confirmed.

That makes my brimstone bigger than your brimstone. nanananana.

Right. I'm sure your generous contribution to the greater world of debate has been noted, somewhere.

This thread seems to be more about a spiritual masturbation session on your part than anything else. Any indication otherwise is rendered null, since your side of the discussion is easily replaced by another source of static text.

Kitsune also knew the answer to his question, and by evading it you confirmed it.

am i the only one that thought bac stood for blood alcohol content?

My question confirmed that no bac will ever reveal he or she would do their best to assist in the herding 13 million Jews into Israel and then assist in anyway possible in the genocide of at least two thirds of the Jews, to bring forth the second coming, period. The rest of this thread is gift-wrapping. Bacs will not deny it and they will not admit it. I take it very seriously, life or death for family, community and myself, in fact. If you like to play ego head games, and impotent macho put downs, enjoy. I got what I came for, again, and again and again.

Spin spin spin away.

First, I'll note I'm not a "bac" or anything even remotely close to it. 13 million Jews? Genocide? I don't even know what the hell you're talking about, nor do I really care. But...

...put the bows, scotch tape, glittery paper, and name cards back in the junk drawer. All we've seen are empty boxes wrapped in paper-thin pages from a copy a of KJV. You're simply throwing quotes around for no damn reason and you've done everything in your power to bring about as little discussion as possible. You believe in this so strongly? Feel so cocnerned for the safety of your family? None of us would honestly have any idea, as you've done a very poor job of conveying any of it, so far. No argument, no facts, no opinions, no structure.

...because so far, this is aboslutely all you've accomplished.

Enjoy your gift wrapping of this thread. You have a shining career at the mall concierge desk come November.

Of course, I am not surpriced.

I am not "surpriced" at your lack of reply. Before you continue shouting through your paper megaphone, I urge you to do a little reading.

Save your urges for someone else. Formal debate? I am not as anal as some. I make it up as I go along. Works for me.

Nice try. Your mind powers will not work on dov. We need the help of ThreadHijackMan. Where is he when you need him?
