Christian disscussion thread

[Menassa]

similar, but not especially.
They are..
not to commit idolatry
not to commit blasphemy
not to commit murder
not to have forbidden sexual relations
not to commit theft
not to eat flesh cut from a living animal
to establish courts of justice to punish violators of the other six laws.

Although God does award bonus points if you manage to break all 7 at the same time.

No hell, for creativity.

[Grave_n_idle]

...We don't submit to any idols?

Money, your country, yourself, etc. Your addictions...anything really.

Christians talking about idolatry should probably remember that they are on somewhat shaky ground with reference to the idolatry commandment, themselves.

Also, worth pointing out, strictly speaking, idolatry requires a physical object which is the focus of worship.

Are you talking about the Cross??

[Seperates]

Show me.

If I must burn for not believing in the absurd. Then, I will do so with a smile. Because I lived my life. And there is nothing sweeter.

I am also leading a sweet life. Except in the end I go to Heaven.

Except I don't care.

I'm talking about your belief in the Triune god-head.

[Seperates]

Is it like the ten commandments?

similar, but not especially.

not to commit idolatry
not to commit blasphemy
not to commit murder
not to have forbidden sexual relations
not to commit theft
not to eat flesh cut from a living animal
to establish courts of justice to punish violators of the other six laws.

Does it define forbidden?

There is an argument of the scholars either it means all forbidden sexual relations described in the bigger picture of Laws.

Others say that it is only having sexual relations with another man's wife.

Crucifixtion really...

we(well most of at least XD) don't worship the crucifixtion....It is the father who we worship.

So which is it?

Then why do you kneel to the cross?

[Felbah]

Baptist here! How's everything going?

[Vazdania]

Are you talking about the Cross??

I'm talking about your belief in the Triune god-head.

o_O I thought you were aware that I am Non-Trinitarian. There is one God, one savior and a Holy Spirit of God, 3 different spirits preforming 3 different functions.

That's hard to say.... the way Jewish arguments work... there may not be a right answer... I believe it's the former... but again as I have said many a time before..... it's a questionable subject.

I believe that's exactly what the holy trinity is.

There's certainly a strong argument for reverence to crosses being idolatry, but no - I was referring to the irony of someone who places two other godlike entities in a co-equal relationship with Jehovah god, telling someone else they are an idolator.

Great! Most of those commenting are atheists but everyone is welcome here

God is so unclear it's almost human.

And I commend you on that much.

Hmm... That's rather counter-intuitive. I thought this was a Christian Discussion thread. I know everyone is invited and all, but still.

Yes... God can be very unclear at sometimes.... when arguments boil down to a finer point in the Talmud (which is not here) the answer rarely ever is a concept called Taiku which means that at the end of days the Tishbite will answer all remaining questions.

Symbol of Christ. its like Holding a football or something >_> if your a football enthusiast.

Its not necessary. People who kneel before the cross or whatever should realize what they are kneeling for, not for the cross, but for what it represents...The Savior.
