FSTDT Quotes for November 2003

Quote# 5295

When you have no scriptural support for your position, it is a good tactic to side step the issue and attack the other person. It doesn't deal with the topic, but it is a good tactic.

Quote# 5296

I'm just wondering if there is something wrong if one is not willing to trust in God. I wondering if we might be missing something if we think that our safety is the most important thing. I don't find the instruction to leave if abused in the Bible. I find the instruction to leave over adultry, not over physical abuse. How much of this is our societal values working its way into out belief system?

Quote# 5297

The closest thing that I can get for that is a combination of the turn the other cheek idea and Paul's statement that the man is the head of the family. If the wife has the husband arrested [for abuse], then the wife is usurping authority over her husband.

Quote# 5298

[Replying to a hypothetical scenario of an abusive wife]Once again, I'm the head of the family, therefore am in a better position to deal with this problem than a woman would be from my Biblical perspective. I would have her stop. If she would not, then I'd have her arrested.

Quote# 5301

Yes, I agree that it [hitting] is abuse and pain. I would just like the see the scripture that backs up your position that this is grounds for divorce. There's one for adultry, but there isn't one for physical abuse. Do you believe Jesus wasn't aware of this problem?

Quote# 5302

I really do believe that our societal values have worked its ways into the very core of beliefs. I'm not so sure this is such a good thing.

Quote# 5303

Where in the Bible does it say that a husband who is a jerk or in violation of civil law is not to be respected and to be the head of the family?

Quote# 5304

You are making the mistake of believing that what happens to us is important. It is our own relationship with God which is important. This is the very reason why slavery is allowed in a Godly community. This is the very reason why liberals must make up excuses for why there are so many insonsitancies between their idea of a loving God and what the Bible says God commands.

Quote# 5306

You can believe this if you like. It is a lie, but you are allowed to believe a lie if you wish. Was it illegal to beat a slave during bibilical times? According to the Bible it was not. But as I said, believe what you choose to believe.

Quote# 5307

According to Jesus, there is only one reason why a divorce is correct and that has nothing to do with abuse. Do you really believe that Jesus was ignorant of this problem?... Didn't God give us brains to determine what is right and wrong?

Quote# 5308

There are dynamics at play here. Everyone plays a part. If you get the picture from one side, you are getting a very distorted view. The family is a system and each member adds to and is affected by what other members do. You can play the blame [the abuser] game if you like. It just isn't entirely accurate in many of the situations out there.

Quote# 5309

On the other hand, small revivals occur in some 3rd world countries like the notoriously apostate country of Haiti: the poor Voodoo-ists (Devil worshippers) command their children to go to Christian schools (100%) and get saved. Every state-run and private school in Haiti performs daily evangelical praying and singing as per Christ's teachings and the gospel. The T[heory]o[f]E[volution] is fully discarded from all K1-12th grade curriculums. Thus, these poor wretches have not entirely discarded Christ's teachings nor gospel.

Yep it is a result of the fall of man... Snake venom, in a world with higher air pressure becomes something very different to a toxin, in fact the total opposite.

We came from primordial soup. No better yet, we came out of a coterie of atoms who decided that life was too boring without humans and everything else that we marvel at. or am i really wrong about the big bang?

Omg this thread is so gay. I'm glad I never come to this forum, for I would have lost all of my beliefs from realist bitches. Can't you just leave the religious people alone. Is it against the fucking law to have beliefs, no matter how unrealistic they may seem to you cunts?

Quote# 5316

Why Don't All The Openly Rebellious God Haters Of this World Commit Suicide?... What hope do they have to keep on living without the love of God, Jesus as their savior, & the power of the Holy Spirit Guiding them through life. If they are this against God, why don't they choose to commit suicide? Are many of these evil God haters deep down afraid of death? Do they know suicide will abruptly bring them into Satan's Hellish realm? What do you think?
