Interesting, and you consider the entire Bible to be THE word of God and follow it "religiously". Is that correct?
I believe I answered this question in post#141 of this thread, Gerry : )

Nothing like taking a Bible verse out of context to twist it to your own devices.

It's a great combination. Produces the most intellectually brilliant, emotionally healthy, and just plain damn sexy people in the world!Think that's bad try Irish and Indian, but to give her credit she never tried to kill me, pissed me off so I thought about killing her. -![]()
You never told us you had Irish blood.It's a great combination. Produces the most intellectually brilliant, emotionally healthy, and just plain damn sexy people in the world!
Actually I did. You musta missed it. My maternal grandfather was Irish. Real Irish, not "Irish-American" or "Irish-Canadian."You never told us you had Irish blood.
That would explain your sometimes scrappy personality.Actually I did. You musta missed it. My maternal grandfather was Irish. Real Irish, not "Irish-American" or "Irish-Canadian."
What is the context of John 17:17, Gerry.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
"For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
The Old and New Testaments are an evolution of a people's conception of the divine.
Gerry,and you find no contradiction between this and the vengeful and violent God of the OT and revelations.
Gerry - yes, I agree. Both Old & New Testaments are the Word of God.To CJ and Motar, the entire Bible is THE word of God.
I'm still convinced J.K. Rowling was divinely inspired, by the standard most American Christians, at least, recognise as the clearest evidence of Divine favour.No, the Vedic texts are the word of God.
Gerry,
No, I find no contradiction. Look & study Scripture in its entirety. When we understand the seriousness of sin, we then come to a closer understanding of God's judgments. When we do not grasp our sinfulness, we tend to judge God. We put him on trial and tear his Word apart to suit our idea of Him.
