Front Door Vistors by JedaiBesk2003-02-27 05:42:17
  Which is why you should always speak properly. by pecosdave2003-02-27 05:44:53
    slight correction by plblark2003-02-27 06:43:12
      Calling NOLAWitch... by Naruki2003-02-27 06:59:20
        It just bugs me a little is all... by plblark2003-02-27 07:05:14
          At a guess, I'd say the "Jesus Christ" part. ;-P by Naruki2003-02-27 07:13:20
            heh! by plblark2003-02-27 07:34:23
              I'd have to disagree on that first sentence by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:08:38
                well, yes, if it WERE the word of god directly by plblark2003-02-27 08:22:06
                  So then by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:34:34
                    I think His rules are plain enough by slacktime 2003-02-27 08:57:53
and actually quite easy to understand. Even the mosaic code was summed up in the two commandments "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, might, mind and strength" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Christs teachings didn't detract from those basic rules but simply helped create guidelines to live by. The Beatitudes provide a simple recipe for self-improvement.

And what's more, these same rules for living are found in most religions, Christian or not. That we all fall short of the person we could be is our own greatest guilt trip, and
<Gospel according to St. Slacktime> I believe that we will find that God will judge us by how hard we tried to improve ourselves rather than by some arbitrary measure of where we are. In other words, an A for effort is more acceptable to God than the letter grade we think we've achieved.</Gospel>

                      Wait a minute by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:05:56
                        Oh I don't disagree by slacktime2003-02-27 09:14:51
                          I agree by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:31:19
                            Maybe this will help by slacktime2003-02-27 10:00:50
                              To make it a better analogy... by Naruki2003-02-27 10:11:39
                                Ah but that is where you and I differ by slacktime2003-02-27 10:17:32
                                That's where you differ with about 90% of Xians. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:21:24
                                that's ok Naruki by slacktime2003-02-27 10:35:46

                                And the purpose of that post was...? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:34:44
                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:22:48
                                And if the eldest refuses? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:28:35
                                The eldest didn't refuse. He voluneered. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:31:25
                                Are you an idiot? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:37:39
                                I'm sorry that my analogy was flawed by slacktime2003-02-27 10:44:07
                                Ooh, very humble. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:45:07
                                Nitpick by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:07:24
                                Do you really want to know? by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59

                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:43:26
                                You sound bitter. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:49:38
                                I know, I know ... by cristobal2003-02-27 10:51:29
                                But Jesus was the eldest and only begotten by Llyr2003-03-06 08:49:37
                              Not quite adequate by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:14:24
                                Maybe there is more to you by slacktime2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                But we keep coming to the question by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:47:53
                                Huh? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:54:00
                                I think he was referring to this: by Spiff2003-02-27 11:01:52
                                I wonder what he thinks of Isaiah... ;) (n/t) by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:03:10
                                There's quite a difference by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:30:43
                                I'm still talking confusing style. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:39:32
                                That's all I ask by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:43:33
                                Just the style by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:02:30
                                Too bad by slacktime2003-02-27 11:05:54
                                So God should change his style to suit us? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:20:33
                                It seems that by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:29:14
                                So you *do* want a translation. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:36:52
                                You are saying the Joe was 200 years old? by Naruki2003-02-27 11:53:02
                                I have no problem understanding by slacktime2003-02-27 12:14:06
                                Hold on... by Spiff2003-02-27 11:58:16
                                so knowledge removes freedom? by slacktime2003-02-27 10:58:10
                                That's the crux of the longtime debate by Nea2003-02-27 11:22:56
                                And we aren't likely going to solve it today? by slacktime2003-02-27 11:32:28
                                The latter option doesn't fly. by Arcanum2003-02-27 11:44:34
                                weakened omniscience by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:54:37

                                Turn it around by Ston2003-02-27 12:28:05
                                So he knows some things? by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:32:57
                                No by Ston2003-02-27 12:54:29
                                But if he knows the actions we will take by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:58:37
                                Because you're not getting it. by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                It didn't (n/t) by Egaeus2003-02-27 13:25:26
                                Nope, still doesn't work. by Arcanum2003-02-27 14:42:32
                                When we're talking about God, absolutely by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:34:35
                      Following the second one usually gets the police by Naruki2003-02-27 09:23:16
                        Hmmm by slacktime2003-02-27 09:34:49
                          Question by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:53:11
                            Who says it's a better translation? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:02:41
                              Seems to be a need for "Christianity for Dummies". (n/t) by NOLAWitch2003-02-27 10:04:12
                              There's a host of them to choose from by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:22:05
                                Especially when the agenda was by Naruki2003-02-27 10:26:00
                                One problem with that by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:39:24
                                He he he. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:42:40
                                Actually wouldn't it be better by slacktime2003-02-27 10:49:02
                                Sure, but I heard He got the wrong wireless plan. by NOLAWitch2003-02-27 10:51:35
                                They've tried something similar by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:53:09
                            The KJV is as good a translation by slacktime2003-02-27 10:11:39
