Right, Christian’s never use the Old Testament. That’s why its no longer in the Bible.

So pick and choose, as god intended.
No, but the new covenant, as Jesus taught, wasn’t about killing. It was alot trying to get people to put down their sins and follow him. This is where many people get confused and think Jesus hung out with sinners who kept being prostitutes, tax collectors, etc. They gave up their sin to follow him.
All good.

Israel likely violated international humanitarian law in Gaza war, U.S. report says
A highly anticipated report from the State Department concludes that the U.S. may continue to send weapons to Israel despite apparent Israeli violations of international humanitarian law. The long-awaited report comes just two days after the president said he would suspend a shipment of bombs to...

Most people have no clue who that is. Jordan said he modeled his game after him 😉A little levity ... or is that... levitation?
And yet certain passages from the OT keep coming up. Almost seems like people just pick what they like out of that book and ignore the parts they don’t. I wonder if other religions are like that.
Has God changed since then?
Is that one of the OT things Jesus changed?
I ask that because I am reliably told that if Jesus didn't specifically change it, the OT is still the literal word of God.
I don't buy it, but that's what I've been told here many times.
The thing is, these stories were written by goatherders 2000+ years ago. All of them have weird bits in them that their believers ignore. That’s fine. The obnoxious bit is that while ignoring their tricky bits they hold the other religions to theirs.
Modern Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus, which again, some people twist to mean we should open our churches to moral decay.
Yet another variation of the double standard all cultures seem prey to:
If someone in my culture does something bad, that individual is bad, but you shouldn't generalize to the rest of us. Whereas if an individual in your culture does something bad, your whole culture is an abomination and all of you deserve whatever we decide to inflict upon you.
Except, with Islam, it isn’t individuals. A very large segment wants Sharia Law. A very large segment would make the LGBT people very sad. When Muslims are in the majority, they become way less tolerant.
Are you saying modern Christians should reject moral decay?
Then please explain how it is that so many Christians support Trump?
How does "let those without sin..." get turned in to aggressive support of the worst sinner?
Yeah. That's awful. And I'm willing to accept the assertion that the percentages look better among today's Christians vs today's Muslims.
But 2 things: first, the Christians of yesteryear were no better; and, second, a whole lot of today's Christians would cheer from the rooftops if we could return to those days.
And most of those are Republicans who support Trump, in all his faux-closer-to-Godliness.
Churches in AmeriKKKa seem only to exist for the pastor to get fabulously wealthy and for the youth pastors to find a child bride.
Religion in general appears to be little more than a justification for controlling or killing others. Maybe if the church types did a lot less talking and finger pointing, and instead practiced what they preach then maybe they’d have some credibility.
You literally just described christians

I don’t know, my thoughts are abortion, the border, and to some extent the economy. I separate my politics from my religion
Guess you didn't read my second sentence. I said people have lied about their enemies since forever.
Nowadays...
I used to feel we could count on our government to be an honest broker of information about these sorts of things. As some point I realized we occasionally couldn't. Nowadays, I fear we often can't.
There was a time when it was clear I couldn't count on Fox and other so-called press on the right, but I still felt reasonably confident in major sources in the center and on the left. Nowadays, I have to fact check them all.
We used to have fact checkers that seemed reasonably responsible. Nowadays, I need fact checkers for the fact checkers.
There are still clearly better and worse press. And there are still ways to improve our odds of learning the truth. But, nowadays, it's harder.
"I can't explain your own thoughts to you, Trevor. You have to take responsibility at least for them."
There aren't a lot of laughs when talking about civilian deaths, but that was one.
That's terrible but I could flood this forum with photos of Palestinian women and kids butchered in the most barbaric manner. I choose not to, to retain my dignity. Rip to those two innocents but don't think the idf has clean hands. Far from it. Each day more garbage that they are doing bubbles to the top.
I didn't think Nance had such hops. You are most likely correct. I was thinking David Thompson.
