It's sad that someone asking a question gets you into a frenzy.
crotalus_p: You can not truly be a Christian whit out firstly haven dismissed all other religions apart from the fact that the bible commands you to (under penalty of death) the contradictions between religions mean that if you deem one to be true then all others must be deemed to be false ,
Leviticus 27:28-29 No devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast ... shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
--- The idea/thoughts that man/ego makes-- ends only with the body-- dying and forever gone; death.
The idea/thoughts (those devoted) that are given to the LORD shall be redeemed and Created.
The LORD does not even acknowledge the ego/man. The Lord knows only Spirit.
calmheartseeks: Thanks. As far as I know, Nostradumus did not claim to be God. To claim that I should give him "equal time" makes no sense. I probably have given him more time than a lot of people, lol.

What frenzy I can assure you i am in noway in a frenzy like state , Although it does say some thing about the state you are in when you start attacking people instead of their argument
In response to: 1) unfulfilled prophecy is just that...unfulfilled
The prophecy was supposed to be fulfilled during Abraham's lifetime and it has not been to this very day.
In response to: 2) I never said Abraham was a false prophet.
God was the one that made this promise to Abraham. However it never came to fruition.
In response to: 3) God is the Creator,not me, He can do whatever He wants.
Cop out...non-responsive
In response to: 4) I am not implying anything about the Palestinians.
Who are the "people who still occupy this region of the world" and who allegedly "hate the Jews?” Who are the descendants of Ishmael, the elder brother of Isaac?
In response to: 5) If I WAS God and people were destroying my creation without my say so, then yes, I might hate and retaliate against the people who were doing this.
But who was "destroying god's creation"? What are you talking about and what does this apply to?
In response to: 6) Christians have done a lot of things in the name of God which He did not want or authorize.
It’s in the bible and was requested by God...
In response to: 7) The offering of firstborn sons did not refer to their blood being shed, but rather them being raised to love and serve not only God but others as well. We are called to love and serve one another, not destroy and hate each other.
Leviticus 27:28-29 No devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast ... shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

??? We were discussing human sacrifice which this passage refers to.
Mar 28, 2009 10:10 AM CST A sincere question to those who don't believe the Bible is God's Word

Dusty45: Their choices are contention and hatred of the idea of a God, the Creator because they want to believe that they are the cause and maker of this world without the acknowledgment of God.
Isn't being an image of god, being superior to other beings?
I have just started to study this, but thank you for your input. I still want to get back to you about old Abraham! lol. maybe over the weekend.
krimsa: They didn’t accept him as the Messiah for a multitude of reasons. I will list some here but there are TONS. The Hebrew were sticklers for the details, let’s put it that way.
1) Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
2) Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
3) Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.

Alright. I took that from a Jewish historical website but I imagine its valid. I think they were attempting to over simplify of course for practical bullet point reading.
You can't seriously believe I attacked you? You came into this thread and told me you "dismissed" my question along with a barrage of other hostilities.
If I am in a frenzy (which I'm not, though I'm not happy with this nonsense) it is because of some of the hostility I've encountered.
What is your argument? I did not give equal time to all the gods?
Odd that people try to manipulate an argument about a question you post.

Dusty the passage is referring to HUMAN SACRIFICE which was common in biblical times. What else do you want to say about it? I just do not understand your comment in relation to the discussion. No need to be rude.
