I heard Damascus would be a ruinous heap.
Wild coincidence that with 24,091 miles to choose from, it just so happens that is the exact epicenter of all this.
Lucky guess from thousands of years ago I suppose.
And why is that? If it turned out that Jesus really was God and if it turned out that he really did come back and decided to kick some peoples *** and be nice to other people I'm pretty sure I'd be one of the ones he'd be nice to and you'd be one of the ones whose *** he'd kick.
So an omnipotent omniscient God values whether a person says they "have a relationship" with God over and above how well they treat other human beings? Pretty sure that's not true. Call it a hunch.
I don't reject God. I just don't believe God exists. I could be wrong. But there's no point in pretending to believe if I don't believe, now is there?
I seem to remember something like "slaves, obey thy masters" in some book...........
Had absolutely nothing to do with God condoning slavery. It was acknowledgement that slavery (an evil) existed.
Paul urged Christian slaves (in the passage you cited) to continue to obey their earthly (that is, human) masters, even though, by virtue of being Christians (a word I have little use for these days), they were no longer slaves in God's eyes, but free in Christ.
Moreover, Paul told those slaves not just to obey those earthly masters for the sake of avoiding punishment for disobedience, but to obey them sincerely and willingly, as if they were actually serving God, since it was God who had placed their masters in authority over them in this world.
It is part of the separating the wheat from the chaff. There will be MORE slave-masters in this country and they will be dealt with just as the slave-masters in Egypt were ... only this time will wrap it up.
Oh, so it doesn't condone slavery, it just says that the slavemasters are in authority over the slaves because it's God's will. Okay.
Slavery existed then, not necessarily God's redeeming will, but allowed, created by us humans. The picture painted in the Bible in the Old Testament of a slave/owner is of our relationship to God, and eventually Paul describes it should be our relationship to all others. Nowhere does the Bible say, believer, thou shalt own 10 slaves.
Like I said, you're on your game today, way to go.
Yes, yes we get it, you're a neo Nazi white supremacist. Is there anything else that you want to out yourself about?
I say it to peoples faces as well. I'm not on online tough guy, I'm the real deal.
Or representative of poverty and lack of opportunity.I guess "science" is racist now.
Absolutely genetics plays into it. It's not one or the other, it's a combination of many things. However, those who've not been taught how to think and reason due to upbringing fall right in those areas. Nutrition, sleep, exposure to certain things, are all factors. 10 generations of camel fvcking dirt merchants likely won't be as developed as genetically as someone born here.
