Sigh. I should be used to people being so ignorant of the Bible by now.
Jesus is the word of God made flesh. He brought the New Testament to the people of the Earth. Your argument that Jesus contradicts the Old Testament is like claiming that Einstein contradicted Newton. There is no contradiction, only further revelation. Jesus came to let us know that death is not for us to decide, but for God. We will die a spiritual death in sin, we lose ever lasting life. There is still punishment for the lazy drunkard of a son, it's just not for us to dole out.
You don't have to believe this, but in not believing you needn't be so oblivious and ignorant to the the beliefs of others in the process.
It's expanding, showing the hateful nature and discriminatory actions of people hiding behind "freedom of religion".:lamo:doh:lamo
Deflecting with irrelevancy, is still deflecting.
No one is this obtuse.It's expanding, showing the hateful nature and discriminatory actions of people hiding behind "freedom of religion".
Many who worship Jesus are simply following he teachings:
John 10:7-9
7 So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Back at ya.No one is this obtuse.
You must be some paid shill.
:dohBack at ya.
Jesus never claimed to be God. He did however preach of forgiveness and salvation, something not offered in the OT. But, most importantly he commanded that we should not judge others, but love them. He didn't at all, in any way, say that the OT should be followed. He did contradict it--you know, all that stoning and smiting...
Jesus showed whomever listened a better way. Most people still don't get it, especially the so-called Christians.

...especially the so-called Christians.
... most of the crap written in the OT ...
I and others notice this new trend where religious folks use freedom of religion to discriminate.
I'm quite sure Jesus would not approve, but Phil is just another member of that false church of Christ which takes away the rights of others in the name of their Idol.
Makes you wonder if Phil discriminates against non-Christians and Gays at Duck Command. Someone should find out and then sue his ass into poverty.
Lest me ask you. Do you believe Blacks were happier when they were picking cotton?:doh
Not.
I'm not judging them. I just don't believe they are true to Christ. It's not my problem until they meddle in my affairs or discriminate against my brothers and sisters."Although the term "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, most Bible scholars agree that its meaning is clearly expressed. These are some of the verses expressing the concept of the Trinity - Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, John 14:16-17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Acts 2:32-33, John 10:30, John 17:11&21."
The Trinity - What is the Trinity?
IN THE SAME QUOTE HERE!!!!! Good grief!

And, no. I do not believe in the "Trinity". I believe that to be manifested by man, idolatry.

You mean the specific black people that Phil was speaking about?Lest me ask you. Do you believe Blacks were happier when they were picking cotton?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
The Bible teaches us to preach to the non-believer, but not to take up with them. Jesus took in sinners not to coddle them and tell them they were OK in their sin, but took them in to preach to them to turn their back on their sin and follow God's path.
Jesus would wholeheartedly approve of preaching the gospel. It is what he asked us to do. He didn't tell us not to offend anyone. In fact he told us quite clearly that there would be those people whop would take great offense to his teachings. Some of those people nailed him to a cross.
Luke 15:1-7
1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Jesus asked us to go to the sinner and gather them as a shepard would a sheep, but there is not rejoicing unless the sinner repents. An unrepentant sinner is the sheep we were unable to recover.
This doesn't mean that the repentant stops sinning, but only that they acknowledge their own sin. If homosexuality is a sin (and the Bible pretty clearly states that it is) then a homosexual who does not believe homosexuality is a sin remains an unrepentant sinner.

I'm not sure it matters. I find it strange that you do. Phil never picked cotton for life. He maybe did it one season or two, tops. He has no idea what it's like to be a black man/woman tied to the fields. Yet, he has the audacity to claim, "They were happy."All blacks? Or as Phil says the blacks that he worked side by side with, that he saw, during that time?
Care to name one discriminatory action that Phil Robertson has taken, that GLAAD did not?

Are there any blacks or openly gay folks on his show?

But God created the homosexual. Did he make men who lust after other men just to torment them? Or is it just another part of the natural order?
There are not a lot of choices here.
God is cruel. For surely creating a homosexual and condemning him to hell for committing the sin of doing that which he was created to do would be cruel. Or, God is a trickster, creating a homosexual just to see if the homosexual can resist temptation, perhaps even marrying a woman and faking that he enjoys sexual relations with her. And, lastly, God doesn't really care if a homosexual does his/ her thing or not.
Oh..or there simply is no god, at least not quite on the level you all persist seeing one at.
