Will California Ban the Bible? Christians Say 'Not Without a Fight'

[INVAR]

Every reason more to embrace a loving God who cares for you and wants to shoulder your burdens for you.  God is love.  Sad that you don't see it.

You can plant and water, just remember God gives the increase.

It is not time yet for Pete yet to be given the understanding you and I have been blessed with.

So he looks at life through the eyes of his own mind based on this flesh, which as you know is inherently hostile to God.  It is not subject to God's ways or laws and never will be - of it's own.  You and I were no different before we were called to understand.

It's not Pete's time.  But - you never know when those seeds planted might germinate.

Just keep 2 Peter 3:9 in mind.

You have the right.  But I gotta feeling you don't have the ability.

Yeah.....actually, I do, @Wingnut.

The question is......... do you? 

Probably not.  But do you really think your ridicule is going to intimidate me or make me lose my standards and beliefs?

I certainly hope not, because we've known each other for a long time now, and I know you're not that dense......

[darroll]

GOD,
They won't try that with the Koran or they will go home with their head in their hands.

[sneakypete]

WTF are you even talking about? Actually, it is more probable that you don't know wtf you're talking about.

@roamer_1

Let's see,here. Wasn't Jesus a single man in his 30's that lived with other single men,and who never had a relationship with a female?

Isn't there a word for men that shun women and live with other men?

I know! He was a registered Democrat!

[sneakypete]

Gee ...  most of us in here are intelligent enough, to recognize the replies without them being in bold.

@libertybele

Yeah,but you ain't even bright enough to understand it after it has been explained to you.

OR......,you just want something to be bitchy about and that's the best you can come up with.

[sneakypete]

A technical aside here, not meant to address any of your points:  You quoting style makes quoting you in return a royal PITA, because the forum software makes quoting posts within posts very difficult.

@Cyber Liberty

How is the forums software glitches my fault? It's a pain in the ass for me,too,but it's not going to get any better. We can't even get them to give us ping lists.

@darroll

Gimme dat ole time religion,.......

Kinda reminds you of the Old Testament,doesn't it?

As opposed to the "NEW and IMPROVED WORD OF GOD",that now comes with flouride to make it easier to swallow and fear cavities!

[...] and who never had a relationship with a female?

@sneakypete

yes - In a word, he was 'betrothed' to his assembly - If you understood the marriage terminology and the Ketuba (marriage contract) that is the New Testament, you'd understand better.

[...] that lived with other single men [...]

NO. In fact, the Way sect was extraordinary in that it (exclusively) allowed female disciples. There were women in his retinue, and they traveled with him - including, but not limited to Mary Magdalene and Mary, his own mother.

so your tepid little jab at him is nothing but uninformed.

What makes you think California still believes in or supports any part of "the foundation upon which this country was founded"?

I'll ask you "the Ann Landers question":
Would the rest of the United States of America be better off with California, or without it?

You can turn that around just a little and also say that we are in a "pre-muslim era" which will be a direct result of being in the post-Christian era.

Let's see here...as mentioned in the Bible Jesus had 'relationships' and 'interactions 'with numerous women.  Those relationships and interactions are not seemingly specified to be sexual in nature, but some accounts are and have been up for debate and interpretation.  What has stuck in my mind is Jesus' treatment of women regardless of wealth or status.

Yeah,and we all know homos don't get along with their mothers or other women,right?

Where were the wimmins in the Last Supper picture? All I see is a bunch of "close friends" eating and drinking together.

You know Pete, when your mind is eventually opened to understand the scriptures as well as it is the Constitution and our history (and other histories you show an adroit understanding of as well), you are going to be one hell of a formidable warrior for the Lord man.

I look forward to that day.

Jesus' treatment of women was, especially considering the culture, downright revolutionary.

Of course he did. Women did all the cooking,cleaning,washing clothes,sewing,and shopping.

Granted and good point that we're talking about the state of CA, but if they successfully ban the Bible, that sets a precedent for future court decisions.

Incidentally, there are now more people leaving CA then moving to CA for various reasons.  The states seeing the most CA replants are TX, AZ and NV.

We know Jesus was without sin.  There's also no evidence he was married.

Therefore his relationships were not physical.

Which is bad news for people living in AZ, TX and NV.  The locusts are ruining AZ.

Indeed.  I'm wondering if this will have any impact on the upcoming election(s).

@INVAR I'm honestly surprised Pete is able to type so we'll on these religion topics considering he's typing one handed as he mocks God.
