Twice in the New Testament, Jesus says that it is God's Will that we give thanks. I assume HE believes there is no gratitude from the wicked.

You forgot bricks.

Angyson · 09-15-2004, 07:31 PM

Come again. That went right over my head. Bricks ?

Precisely, my good man. Precisely.

And the four wheels?

Calm down dude it's only a story in a book. Jesus and God are merely characters there in. Don't be taking it so seriously :huh:

What is wicked to you? What if an atheist fireman selflessly and heroicly runs into a burning building to save your mother? Would he still be wicked just because he didn't believe in you god? What if a Christian man flew a plane into your neighbor's house because he didn't like homosexuals (assuming the neighbor is a homosexual), is he not wicked because he believes?

I would move this to another forum, but I think I'll wait and just give it the ~E~ ticket myself.

Stay on topic, please, or I'll be performing a ticket check before departure.

You forgot the bit about hating your family, I think God's supposed to like that.

Well since Angyson seems to be turning into a hit and run artist (aka preach out a couple verses/idea; people respond; and nada serious response), as is happening on other threads, I would vote for the E ticket ride myself...</soapbox...rides off on pink unicorn to talk to Nostradamos>

Gee, I wonder why posters are getting non-serious...NOT.

And just to have something marginally on topic...
I think the NT says something about the Law as well...if we pick and chose (one of my favorites):

Quote:

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven

I don't understand the point of the posting. What kind of response is the poster seeking?
