When you're beat, always pull the race card. Typical tactic of the left. It is even more preposterous when even the comment you quoted has nothing to do with race. Maybe that's the paranoid part coming in, as highlighted in my first post on this thread.

This is the first time in my life I mentioned anything about race. It's obvious i am right. Else you would not attempt to squash the entire issue simply by saying "pulled the race card.". You cannot answer every race issue with "its pulling the race card, next." Because some of them are valid. You are attempting to invalidate with no proof.

I asked for facts to prove me wrong. Where are the facts? Prove me wrong.

No. That's not what I am saying. Go re-read my post along with the quote that I was commenting on.

I did ask for FACTs to prove me wrong. Pls give the facts to backup statement that I commented on.

What did the OP mean when they said that the MAJORITY of those in the Democratic party are on welfare and refuse to work. Why did thee OP say this. Where did they get the facts. If they are wrong, then why is their opinion like this?

You do not have to be an intellectual to understand exactly what the OP meant. You can deny it, but we all know what this person was saying.

Show me the facts that the majority of Democrats are 1) on welfare and 2) refuse the work.

And then explain how this is not racist. Because it is and you know it and I know it.

Jesus is of the lineage of Adam. Adam sinned, thus sin entered the world. Blood sacrifices were used for the remission of sins, but Jesus, God in the Flesh, laid down his life and was the ultimate sacrifice, the Lamb of God. Thus, through accepting Christ, one's sin is forgiven.

What is so hard to figure about this? What is absurd about Jesus, to you?

Leave Jesus out of this. First of all, we were talking about Jonah.

Jesus is a nice guy. Not sure he's the divine son of God, but he'd be right at home in the Democratic party, as he was history's first hippie that distrusted rich people, and told everyone they should help the poor. He also hung out with prostitutes and society's outcasts.

As Ghandi said: “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” - Gandhi (whom Christians believe is burning in Hell).

It is self serving. It's the same clap trap BS "get on your knees and pray to holy baby jesus holler-loo-ya savior died for my sins let me help you help save yourself" rhetoric that has ZERO relevancy to the point of this thread.

I don't know who you're trying to impress --- yourself? Other Christians who may be reading? God? but it's tiresome and old.

Yeah, and a bunch of Hindus claim to have knowledge and ability to delve into their "past lives" of reincarnation.

Muslims also have "near death experiences" of their own stripe.

There is also a very COMMON SENSE, scientific explanation for NDEs.

Jesus is the Word made Flesh. If you're going to speak negatively of the Bible, then you've got to admit that you're discrediting Jesus.

He hung out with prostitutes and outcasts to bring them to the revelation that a God loves them and that he wants them to turn from their ways. Christians are instructed to bring others to Jesus.

As Ghandi said: “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” - Gandhi (whom Christians believe is burning in Hell).

If anyone rejects Christ, they do spend eternity in hell. It isn't about how good you are. It's about the covering of sins through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

Many Christians do not behave the way they should, as they still live in fleshly bodies that are tempted. That doesn't excuse the behavior, it only makes you perhaps aware of why you might see it.

It is self serving. It's the same clap trap BS "get on your knees and pray to holy baby jesus holler-loo-ya savior died for my sins let me help you help save yourself" rhetoric that has ZERO relevancy to the point of this thread.

Earlier, you said that "Jesus is a nice guy", but now you're showing disrespect toward Jesus?

I only speak the truth from conviction. If you don't like, it's not surprising, for Jesus says that the world would hate His followers on account of Him.
