I read books for knowledge . I read online forums for laughs.
This is my guilty pleasure, I want it machine gun responses, don't want to read long drawn out posts, that and I have a bit of ADD.
Noted. I will do my best not to mistake of crediting anything you say as intended to be intelligent, well thought out or an attempt to have an actual discussion about anything that matters. Just seems kinda sad for you to admit to it, but at least you're being honest.
Incidentally, I have ADD. What has that got to do with anything?
My, my but you seem keen to pick a fight. How typical of your angsty atheist crowd.
You kinda missed the fact that he referenced one of Jesus' core teachings. "forgive them for they know not what they do" is a clear example of forgiving people even when they've done terrible things to you or to others.
But the irony of his statement, is Jesus condemned conservatives, not liberals.
you are probably right that jesus did not come out and say hate the sin love the sinner verbally, HOWEVER his actions DID say that many times. for instance when the prostitute was brought to him for condemnation before stoning, he said let he who is without sin cast the first stone. when no one did, and the crowd walked away, jesus told the prostitute where are your accusers? go and sin no more. thus the hate the sin love the sinner attitude was born.
Actually, he probably didn't say that, since it doesn't exist in the original manuscripts, it was a later addition. She also wasn't a prostitute, she had committed adultery.
Asking which one of Jesus Christ teachings you embrace is Christian bashing???
Thanks for proving my point. I'm giving you a platform to state your case and you respond with insults.
You were asking a ridiculous question for the purpose of entrapment. I think I made my point clearly enough. All of Jesus teachings are relavent, and we don't get to pick and choose which ones to "embrace."
A Christian understands that Jesus is God. That is who He is. We don't say to God, "Okay, I'll accept that, but I'm sorry, God, I'm not buying that."
I don't think I "proved" your point. Was there a point?
This is eerily reminiscent of the response given when Ms. Perky asked Our Sarah what newspapers she reads.
And we all know Ms. "Perky's" purpose was the same: Entrapment. I wouldn't have mattered what names she mentioned. There was a "gocha" waiting no matter what.
Don't know why they would get angry... Christians should emulate everything Jesus said and did. However, we are also to be wise - and know when people are genuinely seeking and when they are testing Christians. Jesus was tested at times in the Scripture by the Pharisses, Saducees, etc. - sometimes He answered, sometimes He didn't.
This is true. He told them that they erred because they did not know the scriptures. They were always trying to trap Him.

Your question was ridiculous.
