The greatest messages of the New Testament

Now that's what I call taking a verse out of context. And on top of that,
improperly applying it to an extreme hypothetical case.

Silly. "Turn the other cheek" has nothing to do with preventing your
from fulfiling your responsibility for those under your protection.

Or, to put it another way, you have to turn *your* cheek, but not at the
cost of someone else's "cheek."

Post by Truth Hunter
So in this case, will you not"turn the other cheek"? this is a fine
example of hypocrite.

No. You ought to understand the concept before you write about it.

Though it does not say it in the King James Standard Version translation the
original commandment of "Thou shalt not kill", was in truth "Thou shalt not
take a man's life without just cause" in the Standard version and original
hebrew text. In the King James;Strong translation, Modern King James
version, Webster's, World English, and Basic English translations all say
"Thou Shalt not commit murder."

Let's say someone breaks into your home and is creeping towards your
daughter/sister/cousin's bedroom with a knife in his hand. You stand
there in the hallway and there happens to be a baseball bat in front
of you.
Will you let him walk into her bedroom and then forgive him for raping
and murdering daughter/sister/cousin? Will you love him as you love
yourself?

That is utterly ridiculious, it is a parent's duty to raise, protect,
comfort, and teach their children. By doing as you say then the parent is
committing a sin no matter how they act. Also if you have accepted Jesus
into your heart and asked for the understanding then he would have given it
to you. However as he had done to the Elders who praised him and prayed
with their lips, but not with their hearts, they were damned by Jesus. This
is exactly what you are doing by corrupting God's laws and his teachings.
Self defense is not a sin, while rape and theft are and punishable by death
according to God's Law. So by the father taking the bat and killing the
intruder in his house to protect his family is not a crime, nor is it a sin.
Also God never said to turn the other cheek in situations like these. SO
continue damning yourself in God's eyes, but do not seek to spread your
corruption here.

The only hypocrite here is you, you claim to be a truth hunter, yet you are
doing satan's work. We know that he has many disguises, and you are only
one of them.

Post by Truth Hunter
No person of great mental maturity, including you, sees any beauty in
a man sitting back and watching while his daughter is raped and then
in "good Christain pacifism" tossing a second daughter in to be
ravaged. Could you imagine if your workplace was full of people
stealing, beating, and raping each other and the victims just keep
smiling and taking it and even giving money yo utheir tormentors as a
reward for messing them over? It take s a sick and demented mind to
think there was any beayty in such lewd chaos.

Again, you are corrupting the word of God by picking and choosing a single
verse here and there. His word is not a single verse though, and you have
to know the complete bible before full understanding is given. Many verses
in the new testament is only clarified by other verses in the old and new
testaments.

Now I am going to obey God's law and forgive you of this trespass and turn
the other cheek. I am telling you to pray for your forgiveness and to
accept him into your heart. Once you have done so ask him for the
understanding of his word and he will give it to you if you are truly
repentant. Be afraid though because if you pray to him with your lips and
not with your heart he will know and damn you. Your soul depends on your
truthfulness and obedience to his will. I will pray for your salvation as
well.

Respectfully,

Truth Hunter, read the New Testament. You may or may not understand the
message, but it is there loud and clear if you will open your eyes and read
the words.

I've said many a time that "if you're still alive, you probably aren't a
good Christian". Not true in the larger sense, but there is some truth to
it.

Why should your definition of sociopath be worth anything
to anyone else besides you? From your stated point of view,
all other people's religion and philosophy are "delusions".
I even recognize your right to take this point of view.
What I don't reconize is consistency in you wanting to

Actually, regardless of whether the NT reflects "somebody else's
religion," that does not mean it does not have a message. It seems to
have a very clear message: God's son has come and gone, and he also
happened to be the Messiah the Jews were anticipating. His death some
how paid for sins, and one can only receive salvation from the
punishments of a Divine being if they have faith in Jesus (the
aforementioned Messiah. Now, maybe that message has no basis in
reality, but it is nonetheless the message of the NT.

Oh, and irrelevant? Considering the influence Christians have on
international politics (see: George Bush, Pope John Paul II, et
cetera), I'd imagine the message of the NT becomes quite relevant
(regardless of whether it reflects reality or not). Elsewhere in the
thread, Christopher maid a passing (and disdainful) reference to the
Quran ("Koran"); I think the message of that book is relevant too, for
reasons similar to those just listed.

No, that was not done, or maybe you can explain why your version that
obviously differs from that developed in & my your parent myth is in error.
Some of the major points for a messiah of that era.
A: He would establish an earthly kingdom & usher in an era of peace. Part
of the way that would be done is by delivering Israel from the Romans, as
had been done by every other messiah that Yahweh sent.
B: The Messiah was likely to be from the line of the Macaabee, as was the
last known person that qualified for the title. Memory serves right, that
person did not ask for the recognition.
C: Th e messiah would have had to have only human parents, the concept of a
god's offspring was totally against Jewish mythology, as it is today.
D: No high priest, or king anointed him, as the prodeure called for.

Now, would you like to discuss for the audience why you know more about who
the messiah would be than say the people that developed the concept.
I mean, you do know that the messiah did not really have to be Jewish, r
from the line of Judah don't you?

But there is the rub you see. Those that have actually studied the myth
realise you are issuing platitudes & not actual information. Historically
there is no Jesus as described in the artificial grimorie of the xians
myth. Historically there can be no messsiah as claimed in the xian myth.
What that translates to in that instead of evidence all you can do is muter

Only to followers of that myth. Like any other revealed god of the desert,
the message seems to be one of coercion & hate rather than benevolence as
those that provide the evidence give credence to an observation about there
being enough religion for hate but not enough for love. Not a very new
observation either, was made by one J. Swift of Ireland some time ago.

Uh, no, not only to the "followers of that myth" (i.e. believers in
the Qur'an - Muslims). Considering the role Islam plays on the world
stage, the message of the Qur'an effects the lives even of non-Muslims
in many instances (while I'm not sure this is a good example, 911
might be worth noting, though that is not meant to imply the Qur'an

Truth Hunter, read the New Testament. You may or may not understand the
message, but it is there loud and clear if you will open your eyes and read
the words.

What message? It's merely the irrelevant writings of somebody else's
religion.

Which one would that be, there are just so many gods from back then,

Well, the god of Abraham is known, that would be El, Not El Shaddy [who was
also part of the Jewish pantheon, or any of the others]. Now some things
are known about El, Historically known.
He was the supreme god of the Canaanite pantheon for about from -6k Gr.
until that society collapsed.
That is not the current god of The Jewish mythology, which is Yahweh, son
of El. You can find that information in your grimorie, but for the evidence
you will have to look elsewhere in books that reference archeological
findings, such as the library's on Ebla, Ur, & Ra Samas[s], formally known
as Ninva IIRRC.

No, that was not done,

What was not done? You have trouble following my posts apparently. The

N messiah was present during the 1st. cen according to Jewish theology,
concept & requirements. The last known messiah, again IIRC, did not even
ask for the title, but he did the job. You do know who that is no doubt.

Post by Nico Demusopelous
question was whether there was a message in the NT, not whether this
message reflected reality. Are you claiming that Jesus was not the
Messiah? That would be irrelevant to my post.

Not claiming anything, just observing. But it is relevant if you claim to
discuss the greatest message of the NT, for the NT is based on the false
claim that a Jesus of Nazareth existed as described. Anything you claim
other than that is not On topic according to the header of this post/

Post by walksalone
Now, would you like to discuss for the audience why you know more about who
the messiah would be than say the people that developed the concept.

Funny. Did I ever positively assert that there was a Messiah, and whom

You have cut out so much, without marking it, that no one can tell by now,
unless they want to waste time looking in their archives. Which I don't. So
far you appear to be an asserter, not a teacher. Therefore it is a waste of
my time to find out if you implied [standard procedure for members of the
bleater brigade] or stated.

Post by Nico Demusopelous
that might have been if there was? No. Thanks for contributing
though...

Now, back to the topic, what greatest message?

Post by walksalone
I mean, you do know that the messiah did not really have to be Jewish, r
from the line of Judah don't you?

I know of no Orthodox Jew that would agree with you, but again, this
is irrelevant to the discussion.

But it is not, for whether the requirements were met, or they were not. In
the case of the claimed messiah, they were not is central to the xian myth.
The connection, if the Jewish myth is false, so is tours.

So, are you saying that the message of the NT does not reflect
reality? That's fine, but that was not the topic I was discussing. The

It never has. Not all that important really.

Post by Nico Demusopelous
question was whether the NT had a message, not whether the message
reflected reality. Feel free to reread the post.

No thanks, if you want philosophy, I recommend you haunt groups of that
nature. You really haven't defined what you were trying to do until just
now. Evfen then you are not doing a good jib. I did learn to read in
context, lives depended on it, so I learned real good. I also learned that
implication is mightier than the written word, which is why I try to avoid
it myself.
So if you are here to discuss concepts instead of what is claimed to be
real, you are OT in AA or ARCB, & I suspect the other xian groups unless
your title reflects that. At the utleast your opening outline for the
discussion should reflect that. If you did not start the discussion, when
you join you should, if able, outline what it is you are trying to do.
That is not just my opinion, you find it pretty much in effect where
serious discussion is involved, almost an unwritten law one could say.
Now, feel free to define what you want to accomplish. It may, or may not be
of interest to me.

Post by Nico Demusopelous
Oh, and irrelevant? Considering the influence Christians have on
international politics (see: George Bush, Pope John Paul II, et

Um, okay, whatever that means. But are you agreeing with me that
Christianity does have an influence on international politics? If so,
then that means the Christian message is far from irrelevant.

The xian mythology. & I suspect other myths have the same problem.
Of & by themselves they are powerless. Those cl,aimed gods require human
intervention to get their way.
So, indirectly, which seems to be your prefedred argumentation, they do
through the sheep that follow those myths, influence politics. In some
nations, such as the US, they are not supposed to but that never stopped a
bleater before.
Directly, they do not unless that nation is a theocracy, & those have been
tried & discarded in the *Western* Civilizations as well as the majority of
Asia & Africa. Care to guess why. Read a history book, a well researched
one.

Only to followers of that myth.

Actually, 911 was against the Q'uaran, & Islamics are not your standard
bleaters. The live their myth. Now, are you expanding the discussion to
include all mythologies now. You see, as far as I know, the NT is peculiar
to only on mythology & has direct bearing on only one group of sheep.
That was a piece of information I stumbled on while researching god claims.

The Hadith Qudsi 6

The first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of
Resurrection will be a man who died a martyr. He will be brought and Allah
will make known to him His favours and he will recognize them.

The Almighty will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I
fought for you until I died a martyr. He will say: You have lied - you did
but fight that it might be said [of you]: He is courageous. And so it was
said.

Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast
into Hell-fire.

something not being taught apparently.

By the way, you keep dancing around & apparently are not sure where you ant
to go with this, so I recommend if you are serious about it, outline it &
try to follow that outline. When it gets to far afield, & it will, change
the title if you think people are still interested.
It might be you will need to narrow down your field of discussion.
Case in point, this post, The title is so generic & for some emotionally
charged, hat there is no way to tell what you will find when you open the
post.

& you still have to point out in definitive terms what the so called
message is/ Definitive terms don't change without mutual agreement.

walksalone who has seen this dance many times, far to many. It is not one
sided either.
--
Christian: This term has many meanings:
We consider any person or group to be Christian if they devoutly,
seriously regards themselves to be Christian. Thus, Jehovah's Witnesses,
Mormons Roman Catholic, and Unificationists are Christians. Many groups,
particularly conservative Christians, regard many of these denominations as
"cults" and not part of Christianity.
Webster's New World Dictionary: A person believing in Jesus as
the Christ, or in the religion based upon the teachings of Jesus
Concise Oxford Dictionary: Person believing in, professing or
belonging to the religion of Christ. (They don't define exactly what the
religion of Christ is)
Evangelical/Fundamentalist usage: often used to refer to only
Evangelical Christian faith groups within Christianity.

Sure, but first, let's define the area you are interested in. They are not
always the same reference, & are not at this location.
Specifically in regards to:
The lineage of the Jewish mythology; apologetics, archaeology, history,
mythology itself.
What exactly. I can tie up over a megabyte in one post on that subject
alone, & I would rather not do that.
BTW, I don't do apologetics after their first assumption. Translation, I
don't normally get past the first line unless I need some humor.

The messiah as the concept i defined by Jewish priesthood prior to +1 Gr.
Not that much out there rally, the Torah & tanakh[sp] for starters.

The claimed history for one Jesus of Nazareth, I thought that would be self
evident. There is a dearth of claims, but no supporting evidence beyond
conjecture.

The observation for your fourth request, history. I can't say Mr. Swift was
in error. BTW, that does not exclude any mythology except xianity, it
includes them all.

Hum, then a total jerk is to be treated with respect, no, I don't hold to
that. Respect is earned, & those that demand it usually can't earn it.
A lesson I learned the hard way, watching a good NCO go down the tubes
because he forgot that.
If you earn respect, you will receive it, grudgingly or otherwise.
After sixteen year of wearing chevrons., I still remember that part.
Kinda like the drill in the military of rendering a salute to a really
worthless office, you can render the respect to the rank & exclude the
person. If you know how to do it, you can even get away with it.

GEORGE W. BUSH: All Presidents of the United States have come to the
National Prayer Breakfast, regardless of their religious views. No
matter what our background, in prayer we share something universal --
a desire to speak and listen to our Maker, and to know His plan for
our lives. ...Men and women can be good without faith, but faith is a
force of goodness. Men and women can be compassionate without faith,
but faith often inspires compassion. Human beings can love without
faith, but faith is a great teacher of love. ...Faith is also
important to the civility of our country. It teaches us not merely to
tolerate one another, but to respect one another -- to show a regard
for different views and the courtesy to listen. This is essential to
democracy. It is also the proper way to treat human beings created
in the divine image. We'll have our disagreements. Civility does not
require us to abandon deeply-held beliefs. Civility does not demand
casual creeds and colorless convictions. Americans have always
believed that civility and firm resolve could live easily with one
another. But civility does mean that our public debate ought to be
free from bitterness and anger, rancor and ill-will. We have an
obligation to make our case, not to demonize our opponents. As the
Book of James reminds us, fresh water and salt water cannot flow from
the same spring. (13)

of the cardinals who are here, and many of the bishops and archbishops
from around the country. ...The Catholic Church is fortunate to have
such strong, capable, decent leadership. And America is fortunate to
have such strong leaders in our midst. ...All of you are part of the
humanizing mission which is part of the "great commission" and the
Pope John Paul II Cultural Center, which we will dedicate tomorrow,
will bring this message to generations of Americans in this capital of
our nation. The best way to honor Pope John Paul II, truly one of the

billion into the Third Millennium. We remember the Pope's visit to
Israel and his mission of reconciliation and mutual respect between
Christians and Jews. He is the first modern Pope to enter a synagogue

"[George W. Bush's] father, then running for president, was under
attack by what inside the campaign they called 'the aliens' --
evangelical Republicans flocking to the candidacy of Pat Robertson.
Bush arrived in Washington in March 1987 and was put in charge of
'coalitions,' the campaign code word for evangelicals. 'He came in
and said, "We're gonna take this thing over,"' recalls Doug Wead, a
campaign aide with ties to the evangelicals and Bush's partner in the
venture."

THE DRAW OF ISLAM

http://www.iiie.net/Articles/DrawOfIslam.html
============================================================================
========

Mercy

Quran3.31 Say: "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you
and forgive you
your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Quran4.110 If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards
seeks Allah's
forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Quran4.112. But if any one earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to
one that is
innocent, he carries (on himself) (both) a falsehood and a flagrant
sin.

Quran4.152 To those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make
no distinction
between any of the messengers, we shall soon give their (due) rewards:
for
Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.

Quran5.74 Why turn they not to Allah, and seek His forgiveness? For
Allah is Oft-
forgiving, Most Merciful.

Quran6.165 It is He Who hath made you the inheritors of the earth: He
hath raised
you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He
hath given
you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed
Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.

(This is our theological position as to why some people are born
disadvantaged)

Quran7.153 But those who do wrong but repent thereafter and (truly)
believe,- verily
thy Lord is thereafter Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

==================================================================

There are hundreds of similar verses. The whole essence of Islam is
mercy and
forgivness, indeed, He (swt) states that it is better to forgive a
murderer
than punish him and satisfy you lust for revenge. The whole of Islam
is summed
up by a hadith :

Hadith Qudsi 34:

On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I
heard the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Allah the Almighty said:

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall
forgive you
for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your
sins to
reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of
Me, I would
forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as
great as
the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I
would
bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The world is green and beautiful, and
Allah has appointed you as His stewards over it. He sees how you
acquit yourselves."

I think the truth is that he's just another nut case, one among the many
found in this newgroup.

I remember a woman in this NG who when on and on about the "Sputnik Force",
a network of CIA satellites controlling our brainwaves, making us warlike
and full of hatred.

It's about as good an explanation for what's happen to the world as any I've
encountered.

The greatest messages of the New Testament

"Take this book.....in an emergency, you will have toilet-paper."

--
Jez
"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

"This is one of the greatest messages of the New Testament. Love thy
neighbour as thyself - Do onto others as you would have them do onto
you - Turn the other cheek!"
Let's say someone breaks into your home and is creeping towards your
daughter/sister/cousin's bedroom with a knife in his hand. You stand
there in the hallway and there happens to be a baseball bat in front
of you.
Will you let him walk into her bedroom and then forgive him for raping
and murdering daughter/sister/cousin? Will you love him as you love
yourself?
So in this case, will you not"turn the other cheek"? this is a fine
example of hypocrite.
No person of great mental maturity, including you, sees any beauty in
a man sitting back and watching while his daughter is raped and then
in "good Christain pacifism" tossing a second daughter in to be
ravaged. Could you imagine if your workplace was full of people
stealing, beating, and raping each other and the victims just keep
smiling and taking it and even giving money yo utheir tormentors as a
reward for messing them over? It take s a sick and demented mind to
think there was any beayty in such lewd chaos.

A) Christians have a responsibility to protect the weak and innocent

B)"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you..." Now, honestly,
what would you expect someone to do to you if you were creeping towards his
daughter's bedroom with a knife? That's right, take the baseball bat and
cave your stupid head in. That's what it means, I'm just a little blunter
than Jesus was.

What issue. For a discussion there are certain requirements, normally not
needed to be explained, but you appear not to comprehend them so here goes.
An agreed upon topic, said topic can be about anything.
A reasonable expectation of being able to engage in two way communication.
A reasonable expectation that if it is one on one conversation, the topic
will remain in focus.
Now, what topic do you want to discuss.
Pick one, if it amuses me, or might be something I have an interest in,
then sure.
Other wise you are simply preening your tail hairs for the audience.

Or I can pick one, say the concepts & supporting documents of the Jewish
myth & how the do not relate to the xian myth?
How about the history of Abraham, as claimed by the Torah, & supporting
documentation. No, how about the messiah concept, where it came from, how
it was developed, the concepts & why if can not apply to the xian claim of
a messiah? Along with supporting documentation.

To complicate, how about a comparison of the Egyptian book of the dead, the
9 negative confessions as compared to the ten commandments [you would love
that one]

hughbetcha who hopes walksallover at least watches where he's going, or what
he's stepping in.

Not to worry, I can smell where you are & have been. Did I mention I am
claned to the wolf, as well as the bear?

walksalone who has noticed, Hugh doesn't really say anything, just produces
excess death of band space.

I thought wolves were pack animals, and the wolf who "walks alone" is
either an outcast or crazy.

Bears are mostly anti-social creatures who do walk alone most of their
lives.

"Question 7 - Sex. It's usually impossible to tell what sex a bear is,
unless on question 2 [How far from the bear were you when the encounter
took place] you answered A - 10 feet or less, and the bear was up on its
hind legs. Then you just look. Other than that, if you see a big bear
followed by one to four little bears, it's usually a female. Unless the
big bear is busy stuffing the little bears into its mouth, then it's
usually a male." - Ranger talk on "The Bear Management Form" at Glacier
National Park, c. 1988.
