Religion, what's the point?

Herman Van Rompuy said:
If you base your conclusions on the assumptions of liberal scholars, oates, you need to go the whole way and deny the gospel since prohpecy is one of the reasons they place Matthew's gospel so late. The Church tradionally dates the Gospel of Matthew to the late 50's, certainly not later than 70 AD.

Point is that you need to stop giving people incorrect answers if you are serious about representing the christian faith and community.

And another one you misrepresent. I'm an anglican not a catholic. When you misrepresent christianity on here my friend the rest of the christians on here from time to time will be held to account by people listening to your answers and taking that as a method to demonstrate conflicting evidence.

Now shut up, you've done your witnessing, you can go and play elsewhere. Not only do you not answer the difficult questions but you f uck up the easy ones.

There's too many churches who disagree with each other for that crap.

Anyway, let's get back to Jonah. Did he really live in a fish for 3 days?

Not those who practise sola scripture, Silva. And even the evangelicals who don't agree with each other usually disagree on traditions and when they don't practise sola scriptura. But those disagreements (infant baptism is a common one) don't negate the fact we all stand shoulder to shoulder on the gospel of Jesus Christ including things like salvation, sanctification, etc.

I believe he did, yes.

Maybe you want to clarify that because it's coming across as "yeah, we all disagree. But we have the same opinions" which is self evidently bullshit.

3 whole days huh? Does he not need to breathe? Is he immune to digestion?

Oh go away you wum. You are about as useful as fart in an elevator.

How am I supposed to take your profession of faith seriously when you don't even check your own behaviour? That's a far more serious character flaw for somebody who claims to be following Christ than any mistakes I may or may not have made, oates. You should also be familiar with what the Bible says about those who revile correction (specifically the kind of correction you just reviled).

Why do you pretend I am a materialist? Jonah living inside the fish was a miracle. I don't have a scientific explanation of what God did to make the inside of a fish a livable environment.

You believe that a man lived inside a fish/whale for three days? I'm very surprised by this. Not that he survived, I know God gave him the power not to be digested and all of that, but even the biggest of whales would choke if they attempted to swallow a man. Their mouth is very big but their throat is quite small. Or did god magic a bigger throat too? The sneakster.
 
Let's try another one. The time god killed 42 children because Elijah's male pattern baldness was mocked a little bit.

And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. [24] And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them two and forty boys. [25] And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

That also happen @Herman Van Rompuy ?

Yes, that also happened.

Although it's worth pointing out they probably weren't children and they probably weren't attacked by the sort of bears you're thinking of to kill them.
 
god mailed me a picture, just before Jonah entered the fish. Should be evidence enough.

I think you need to study your Bible a bit more, Silva. Hebrews 10:24-25

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Jesus told people not to take the best seats when they were invited to a wedding feast, not to give up fellowship.

Calling someone bald is more of a sin than murder?

Why doesn't god kill all the pedophiles instead?

The more I speak to Christians the more morally superior to god I feel. That guy has serious issues.

Of course you feel morally superior because it's by your own crooked measure.
 
I've studied the bible enough. I really like the part where god shows off his bum.

And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.

[21] And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock. [22]And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my right hand, till I pass: [23] And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see.

His face is way too pretty innit.
 
[21] Balaam arose in the morning, and saddling his ass went with them. [22] And God was angry. And an angel of the Lord stood in the way against Balaam, who sat on the ass, and had two servants with him. [23] The ass seeing the angel standing in the way, with a drawn sword, turned herself out of the way, and went into the field. And when Balaam beat her, and had a mind to bring her again to the way, [24] The angel stood in a narrow place between two walls, wherewith the vineyards were enclosed. [25] And the ass seeing him, thrust herself close to the wall, and bruised the foot of the rider. But he beat her again:

[26] And nevertheless the angel going on to a narrow place, where there was no way to turn aside either to the right hand or to the left, stood to meet him. [27] And when the ass saw the angel standing, she fell under the feet of the rider: who being angry beat her sides more vehemently with a staff. [28] And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said: What have I done to thee? Why strikest thou me, lo, now this third time? [29] Balaam answered: Because thou hast deserved it, and hast served me ill: I would I had a sword that I might kill thee. [30] The ass said: Am not I thy beast, on which thou hast been always accustomed to ride until this present day? tell me if I ever did the like thing to thee. But he said: Never.

If your donkey started speaking to you, would you not question it @Herman Van Rompuy would you just have a conversation with her?

You Satan! how could you dare use his quotes out of context!!! (well, at least that's what Satan attempted, or so-called reliable bible says)
 
[36] And he set the space of three days' journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock. [37] And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers. [38] And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive. [39] And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled. [40] And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban' s: and the rest were Jacob' s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.

If I black up and get someone pregnant will my be kids be black @Herman Van Rompuy
 
The fact the Lord used a donkey to thwart Balaam's selfish ambition (and to correct his cruelty)I actually find really funny.
 
What's the problem with beating the donkey if god made it clear that the animals are our servants and we can eat them all?
