AB,
Jesus warned me to be careful as to whom I "cast my pearls before" (Mat. 7:6).

So far I've yet to see any 'pearls' Tom. I've seen plenty of ignorant and uncharitable nonsense but that's about it.

=The Barbarian;2776792]Barbarian observes:
It's not, as someone suggested, that there's something wrong with black people as a race.
And because his religion says it's permissible to lie if there's an advantage in doing so, we see a quick alteration to read:
And then:
But that's to be expected:
What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church?
Martin Luther
He's just being what he is.
Edit:
He's more to be pitied than censured. Pray for him.

Barbarian said:
It's not, as someone suggested, that there's something wrong with black people as a race.
And so, someone decided a little adjustment would be a good idea. First:
And then:
But of course, his religion says it's O.K. to lie, if there's a good cause.
He really doesn't see what's wrong with that behavior.
Pray for him.
Barb,
It's actually okay to talk about a race of people if what you say is true. For example, God gave the Irish Irish Whiskey to keep them from ruling the world.
The Amish are hard workers, have beautiful farms, and make good furniture.
The Blacks, as a rule, can jump much higher than us White folk. And they earn millions in basketful. It's ain't fair!
Catholicism is a false religion that is leading millions to an eternity in hell apart from their Creator God.
The Jews have a gift for making money.
Now, none of the above statements are false. The one about the Irish could be contested, but I'm Irish and I can't handle alcohol.

And apparently throws everything but the kitchen sink, hoping something will hit.
Time to put someone back to sleep. (ignore activated)
You really are one ranting idiot dude. Give it a rest for everyone's sake....

Barb, time for a Bible lesson--a lesson that you will never hear in a Catholic church.
One of the Ten Commandments is that you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor or brother.
Now does God permit anyone to lie. Yes. The midwives in Egypt lied to the Pharaoh to protect the male babies they were ordered to kill. God rewarded them with houses and kids and wealth.
And if you were captured by an Arab terrorist and he asked you to denounce Jesus, you could cross your fingers, lie to him, and at the first chance, grab a gun and blow his head off.
You can lie in this case.
Bible class is over.
You and someone else here thinks that way. And it lets you put people in nice little boxes, so that you don't have to treat them as individual people like you.
There are black people who can't jump, white people who can dance, and all the rest of that. Instead of trying to put people in boxes, just take them one at a time, and treat them all like people.
It would be a good first step to coming back to God. He says that sort of thing is how He will decide where you spend eternity.
Which is why someone's religion teaches that it's O.K. to lie ...
And tardlyartie, who's so ashamed of his belief system he fears sharing it, jumps in to defend barbie, the pedophile supporting, racist, lying Catholic
:mock:artie, the pedophile supporter supporter
Put the little troll on ignore. He goes completely berserk when he knows you aren't listening to him.
AB, you asked me to "cast my pearls." I will just as soon as I find out who and what your are, a "swine" a "Gentile dog," what?
Me thinks you're afeared to disclose your position.

=The Barbarian;2777667]You just broke it. That one gets a lot of mention in the Catholic Church.
Which is why someone's religion teaches that it's O.K. to lie about people if an advantage can be gained. So he doctored my statement, because he believes lying is O.K.
Can't. I'm a Christian. I would have to witness that I was a Christian. There are worse things than being killed.
If you're not a Christian, you can't. In the great persecutions, the gnostics went about telling people it was all right to lie to avoid persecution. "Just make the offering to the emperor, and they will leave you alone."
But thousands of Christians refused, and went to their deaths trusting God and His promises. Others were weak and followed the gnostics. I can see where you would have been.
The gnostics deleted the parts they didn't like, just as you do.
=Arthur Brain;2778378]No Tom, I didn't ask to 'cast your pearls'. I asked you to justify your utterly uncharitable attitude towards the needy and the ignorance of why you think you can arbitrarily judge such people, which you've completely ignored. My beliefs are not relevant but in the vain hopes of getting an actual proper answer here's a brief overview. I started going to church at 17, repented, asked God into my life, clashed with the evangelical teaching, left, and looked at more "unorthodox" theology through the years. That's as far as I'm going with that and if you wanna know more then start a thread on it or something and I'll respond there where it would be appropriate.
AB,
Your beliefs are very relevant. In an atheist worldview, you have no standing to judge any behavior right or wrong. "Other" is not a foundation either. Here's what I think. Me thinks you are a Mormon, and afraid to defend it.
Tom
That was a test to see if that anti-truth gene is still working. It is.
You would argue with an axiom.
