And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. 10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. |

Already answered this question. Knowing a person's religion tells you nothing about their particular beliefs. Charging up to a christian and asking, "how can you believe such-and-such" makes no sense, since the lable "christian" doesn't tell you anything about what their beliefs are.
Christians range all the way from: (a) socially responsible and moral people who have a modern scientific view of the world all the way to (b) marginally retarded bumpkins who interpret the bible literally and try to impose their narrowminded silliness on others around them. Until you know more about the person's beliefs, you don't know whether you are dealing with (a), (b), or something in between. Now work out the analogous parallel for yourself, sugarhitman. |

You'll need to cite more than a single example. To support a claim of "many", five such instances should suffice. |

Oh, he understands the difference. But since his faith requires him to defend the bible, he needs to to create these complicated rationalizations - complete with their own shortcomings.

No you haven't. You've ducked and dodged it, and tried to create a distraction by bringing up Islam. But you have never answered the question about your own claims and your own bible.
You ducked and dodged for three pages of posts and never answered it. The truth is you KNOW better than to answer it, because as soon as you do it'll be checkmate for you and your support of the Bible. Quote:
ANYONE can attack your beliefs since you're the one with the claims here. You just can't respond because you see the game ending for your argument in the next move. BWAHAHAHAAA!!! |

"Knowing a person's religion tells you nothing of their particular beliefs" nice how nice. In otherwords a lack of sincerity concerning your own faith....just like apostate christians. Do you believe in Mohammeds teachings? Do you believe in the Quran? Don't give me that vague non-sense. "something in between"= not sincere, false, pretender, pseudo, unsure etc. How can a pseudo muslim attack the God of Israel? |
