I guess I have to repeat this because you clearly are unwilling to acknowledge this fact: There is no evidence that Jesus exists. You can make any claim you like, but you don't have any evidence and you know you don't have any evidence. Quote

The one I have in mind is especially nasty. It demands you to love this hateful deity Jehovah then threatens you, your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren with horrid curses if you don't love him.Talk about putting the fuggin fear of gawd in somebody. And the van geliculls demand that this commandment be plastered on schoolhouse walls and then cry they're persecuted if they don't get their way. Quote

Well, Jesus Christ said, Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life. He did not say anything about the dead words of lawyers except that lawyers lade people with burdens heavy to be borne, but they themselves will not help to bear the burden. Robert B. Winn Quote

You have no authority to make any such promotion. I am not being sent with the same responsibility the apostles were given. I have yet to see you use any verse of the Bible in context. All you ever do is take random verses and apply them according to your interpretation. Robert B. Winn Quote
