Darfius: "It's because their (referring to the Jewish people. IvanH) perpetual existence through persecution is a testament to the Living God who made a promise to them long ago."
IvanH: I don't always agree with you Darfius, but this is one I agree with.
The existence of the Jewish people is a reference to, or almost a proof for, the fact that God exists. That's why so many anti-religious lunatics, many times disguised as devout believers, tried to destroy the Jewish people in the past . These dangerous fanatics have always failed in the past, are failing now and they will always fail in the future.
God made a Covenant with the Jewish people that cannot be broken, not by trying to kill and destroy one party or trying to deny, kill or crucify the other Party.

How would you know? Did you get your decoder ring before me? If so, how do I get mine overnighted? I'll pay the extra costs. 😉

The Medianites have vanished from the face of the earth, haven't they ? In these days Christians usually emphasise God's loving and forgiving side, and rightfully so, but don't let anyone fool you into believing that He has lost his other side that will punish those who persist in mocking Him and taking Him for a fool.

Give me *that* old-time religion, if it's good enough for Budda, it's good enough for me.

Again you get things all mixed up, No1. You are indeed confused. I'm talking about your stance towards Him not your stance towards me.
Don't you remember what names you called God in these forums, what you attributed to Him, your accusations ? I wonder when the trial will be ?

A veiled threat ? It is a clear and not to be overlooked warning that is constantly repeated in the Bible. Don't take Him for a fool. If you do you are mistaken and if you are persistent in this you'll be very sorry. These Biblical words are directed at everybody ....... also to me. One has to make a choice.

Those type of people are unfortunately still with us, including you.

Whether there is some other God, I don't have enough information to say.

WE ARE, No1 ! You never understood anything from what the Gospel is trying to communicate. You just have a very big mouth, No1 !

You may do so, that's your choice.
Times change, we don't have stocks and pillories anymore and we don't crucify thieves.

Isn't that really a non-credible threat? If I am mistaken I'm screwed for eternity anyway right? Will he just turn the oven up on me a little more for this particular transgression?
