Jesus taught to obey the law.

Remember when Jesus was asked about taxes? He said render unto Caesars which is Caesars. Jesus never taught to disobey the law.

Please explain in detail how Jesus taught civil disobedience, because he didn't.

Jesus never said anything about gays, that came later. He taught love and acceptance.

Muhammad on the other hand,,,,,. According to the quran marrying a 9 year old girl is fine. How are liberals going to justify a 50 year old man marrying a 9 year old girl.

Stop dodging the issues, please.

According to what you've said countless times, a religion's collective behavior is dictated by the entirety of its sacred text. If you're a Christian, by your previous logic, it doesn't matter whether Jesus said something, or Paul, or other disciples -- every follower automatically endorses every part of the Bible. So which is it? Either you explicitly advocate homophobia and slavery, or you admit the truth: that religious people have widely varying interpretations that often exclude regressive parts, which opens the door to moderate and liberal Muslims.

Also... remember Jesus ransacking the temple to get rid of merchants? I'm pretty sure that's civil disobedience.

And I'd remind you that Elizabethan England (and many other places in Europe) considered it entirely acceptable for men to marry underage girls. Remember Romeo and Juliet? Juliet is described as 13 years old when she marries Romeo, while the legal marriage age for English girls was 12... and it was not unheard of for their new husbands to be much older than Romeo. This was a society that made Christianity virtually mandatory, I'd add. The Bible didn't explicitly endorse underage sex, but it also had no discussions of age of consent at a time when it was okay to marry girls that, today, would clearly be too young. Age of consent is a relatively modern, secular invention.

Why are christians and the bible being drug into strawman arguments?

It is this simple:

Jesus preached love. That is all he preached, to love each other.

Quran - Kill the nonbelievers until everyone follows allah. Then there are the womens rights and child marriage issues taught in the quran.

You must be referring to the old testament.

Jesus abolished the old testament.

I have no clue whatsoever why you keep trying to claim that.

Other than ignorance.

You must attend some weird Church, or do not even understand their teachings, which is highly more likely I imagine.

Jesus wasn't known for dancing around with rattlesnakes either...

Way to not understand anything that you read. Islam is not the issue. Radical Islam is the issue. You could just as easily say that Nazism is not compatible with western civilization... Radical Islam is to Islam as Nazism and the KKK is to Christianity.

Horseshit but you knew that. We're talking about threats to Westerners (i.e., the civilized) alive today, not in liberal apologia land.

We have already been over that in this thread. And it has been explained why and how Jesus abolished the old testament.

Still has nothing to do with last weekends bombings and stabbings, and the terror in France,,,,,.

Where are Christians bombing non-believers? They are not, so please stop the strawman.

Liberals are importing a group of people in mass who are in direct conflict with liberal beliefs.

I guess you think you have falsely straightened everyone out in the past in your wildly skewed outlook on the world ?

Empires
7 Seasons

https://www.amazon.com/Rome-Order-C...e=UTF8&qid=1474415436&sr=1-1&keywords=Empires

Watch all 7 seasons of that and get back to us in a week. Maybe watch it twice for comprehension and get back in two weeks.

It is not a replacement for a World History college course for starters, but might make some pretty good crib notes so you do not sound like a completely raging maniac.

It would scratch the surface at least.

Because you're creating a double standard and hoping we're not bright enough to see it.

Your take on Islam: every Muslim always adheres to every part of the Quran. There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim compatible with the US.

On Christianity: Well, the Old Testament doesn't count... nor the New Testament parts where Jesus isn't around. You can throw out most of the Bible, really. The vast majority of Christians have the same highly selective view, and they certainly don't make a regular habit of using those "excluded" parts to justify homophobia, misogyny or violence against non-adherents.

See what I mean? You accuse me of making a straw man argument, but the very premise of your view is a straw man argument. In order to justify a ban on Muslims entering the US, you have to set them up as a unified, demonic force. Accepting the truth, that there are many moderates who are fine with American lifestyles, would call that ban into question. It'd force you to tackle the issue as it really is: complex, nuanced, and with many innocent Muslims caught in the crossfire.

It should truly be painful to be this stupid. And the bullshit you're trying to spread about being loving and accepting, for f%cks sake, do you not realize your posting history is entirely researchable as is your rampant homophobia?

The ignorance is yours. TH probably knows more about this than 90% of this forum.

"Abolish" is way too strong a word, but what he is saying is correct. Anyone who grew up learning / paid attention to Christian bible class knows this.

A more correct word would be fulfilled, or "ended", the law of the OT.

When talking about the "Law", Jesus always said he fulfilled "The Law and The Prophets". He was fulfillment of the prophecy, and the law. This concept doesn't translate well to English.

Gentiles (non-Jews) specifically do not fall under the Old Testament laws, and never have.

More directly (keeping in mind these are Jewish converts to Christianity speaking) : Acts 15:1-29

1 Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.
<etc etc - this wen to the apostles with the question "do Gentiles need to follow the Jewish law"?>

Answer :

"10 So now why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? 11 On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are.”

Non-biblical references to Jesus :

Josephus, Antiquities 18.63-64

About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.


Thallus (52AD)
“On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.” (Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18:1)


Phlegon (80-140AD)
“And with regard to the eclipse in the time of Tiberius Caesar, in whose reign Jesus appears to have been crucified, and the great earthquakes which then took place … ” (Origen Against Celsus, Book 2, Chapter 33)

“Jesus, while alive, was of no assistance to himself, but that he arose after death, and exhibited the marks of his punishment, and showed how his hands had been pierced by nails.” (Origen Against Celsus, Book 2, Chapter 59)

Pliny the Younger (61-113AD)
They (the Christians) were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food—but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.”

Isn't that the very core of your argument, though? All Muslims are intolerant. Trump is right to want a ban on all of them entering the US. If you were sincere about refusing to throw them all into the same pot, you'd treat them on a case-by-case basis, accept that there are enough moderate Muslims that a blanket ban is irrational and contrary to the US' principles of freedom and tolerance.

On the subject of the OT being invalid, nah. Only when you take verses out of context do ya reach that conclusion.

If you read Jeremiah 31:31-34, it states that the only way for the new covenant (the covenant that the NT alludes to) to come into effect, is if every single person on Earth is a believer of Christianity, and follows the OT to the letter, following every commandment.

Only then will the OT become null and void, as everybody will be living as God intended, and will no longer require the punishment of death & eternal torment for breaking the commandments, in other words, will no longer have to punish sin, as there will be none.

Luke 16:17 even states that it's impossible for the OT to become irrelevant.

But 'ey, it's the usual fare. Wail and squirm when your religious text is laid bare, along with all of it's barbarism, but when it comes to other religions, all is well and fair.

The hypocrisy is just astounding.

You have always sounded like another rattlesnake dancing, Evangelical type to me to be honest.

Perhaps you can grow up someday, also.

We'll just agree to disagree till then.

I was brought up a Lutheran myself, though I'm not a regular there.

The charity work there was always a good thing though, on top of the freethinking.

We know for a fact muslims are bombing various cities in Europe and the US.

We know for a fact girls are being sent out of Europe for female circumcision.

We know for a fact girls are being sent out of Europe for forced marriages.

We know for a fact that there were several bombings last weekend and a stabbing.

We know for a fact gang rapes are taking place by muslim refugees in Europe.

Hiillary wants to allow even more muslims into the nation?

So, where do liberals draw the line on their tolerance? How many gang rapes, bombings, stabbings, mass shootings,,,, etc before we say enough is enough.

I appreciate that you, as a consistent liberal, feel the need to kill yourself making every excuse imaginable for the most illiberal religion on the planet, but you should probably do a better job with your propaganda.

I've been for carpet bombing Daesh in the past in certain areas. I still would not mind in some areas.

Wrong - this is what it says, there's nothing in here like what you state. In fact, this just backs up TH even more. This is from the OT, Jeremiah is also a prophecy book not a law book :

31 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 32It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,* says the Lord. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, ‘Know theLord’, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.​

<snip>

Luke 16:17 even states that it's impossible for the OT to become irrelevant.

Context fail.

He redefined adultery vs the OT. In the OT, a man could just give a woman a piece of paper and they were divorced. What Jesus is saying here is that if he does that, and remarries, that's adultery. That is foreign to the Old Testament, it's not part of the OT law you're talking about. This along with some other writings are the first inklings of women's rights in religion.

He then goes on to say that the law will not "fail". That's not the same thing as saying the OT law is absolute, especially in the context of divorce that he sited. And no one ever said the OT law was irrelevant.

Not where you want to draw it. Many Muslims (certainly not those applying to come to the US) don't practice those, and banning an entire religion is an insult to the US' values.

Besides, imagine if I used your all-or-nothing argument for gun control: so, where do conservatives draw the line on their tolerance? How many gang killings, mass shootings, easy suicides and avoidable accidents before we say enough is enough? Ban all guns, no exceptions.

Of course, that's not my real position. You'd rightly argue that the cost of that added safety wouldn't be worth compromising the country's civil liberties. Well, how is a blanket ban on Muslims different? It's a simplistic attempt to solve a complex problem, and while it's potentially effective, the price you'd pay wouldn't be worth it.
