It's unfortunate though, that some people only come here to make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.
The discussion of Christianity is open to everyone. All opinions matter. If you are are deliberately offensive, stop.

This is not a Christians only thread. Stop complaining. Your response, is your responsibility. Stop blaming others, because you get angry. That is only in your control. It seems you wish to make others responsible for your reaction to what others write. When do you take responsibility for yourself?

Perhaps you should start up your good Christian thread again where others can share good things. I shared one of my favorites, Moral Mondays. I enjoyed it.

We both know the only impediment is yours.

No. I really don't. I've been completely consistent. God has a right to do what he wants with his creation.
So he doesn't care what I think (but loves me somehow), kills humans (but loves them too somehow)....yet you've bestowed this creature the right to do as he pleases with people?

Sounds like "might makes right" again Viz. And you've forsaken your fellow man so as not to be on the wrong side of such a beast.

Because whether I have the ability to stop such behavior...I would not give that approval to such a creature. And that's why I can sit here, in moral judgement, of this god-concept.

Why do you suppose that is?

Yeah, right ....Tell me how keeping all the virgins for themselves ensures their survival....It sounds just like what the muslim group in Africa did a few years ago....

Do you agree with the bible on these issues?

The Bible....Justifies and sets out rules for slavery.

Condones the murder of innocent children.

Defines women as the property of men.

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction. Jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic-cleanser; a misogynistic homophobic racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.": Richard Dawkins http://www.religioustolerance.org/imm_bibl.htm

Anyone can put themselves within the tribes in Genesis 49, and anyone can see it is a progressive ladder that begins bad with a person's walk in Reuben, Simeon and Levi, but a person moves into Judah, Isaachar and Zebulun because they begin to sacrifice and witness.


Jesus talks more of People in Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun more than people in any other level because this is where the majority of believers reside and stay.


Any talk of merchant sailors in a boat upon the seas selling their wears is about people in Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. The whole story of Peter jumping from the boat and meeting Jesus on the beach is about Peter's graduation from one level to the next, and even the Koran notes this concept because it was so well known and talked about to the point of much of Revelation being written about people in the waters and how they must be taken from the waters, how merchant sailors will mourn and just what it means to be a merchant sailor in Issachar, Zebulun and Judah.


Most people are as Issachar who is torn between two burdens like a man who refuses to commit and so he is sitting on a fence until he commits and then jumps from the boat. A person is a boat where Zebulun works a job to make money to support his brother Zebulun and Zebulun is a man with a million books studying to become a priest and so one side is for either brother, one side of the boat for Gold and the other side for the priests as we have two lives and we should live humbly working everyday just so we can continue studying.


A person get's to Naphtali and he is set free like a calf released from the stalls and he obtains all the blessings of Joseph and he gets to be Benjamin in the end.

And what does this have to do with Viz's tribe question that I've asked him twice and he cowers the answer?

- I know one thing if I was gay
holding candles and singing would not be enough for me.


I would join the Military to fight and kill every ISIS believers the government would send me to do
in the name of those who died. Flowers, candles, and songs will not change their hearts of hating.
