Maybe because it's truth rather than dogma. Can you point to me where it contradicts, or can you show me some late-night comedian cherry-picking to avoid the unsavory parts like the death penalty?
```‘The Church of England Bishops’ position as Lords of Parliament
reflects the British history and culture of seeking to heal religious
conflict and promoting ever greater religious tolerance and
inclusiveness. The way in which the Church of England’s
representation in the House of Lords has been manifested over at least
the past 100 years has served to acknowledge the importance of
philosophical, moral and spiritual considerations – not just religious
ones – in the conduct of public affairs. And that representation has
been acknowledged by leaders of other Christian denominations and
faith communities as providing a voice in Parliament for religion in
general, not simply for the Church of England.’4```
The very origins themselves. Appointed to humans, thou shalt not kill. This is the first, and most important of the commandments.
_BUT ITS TOTALLY OKAY IF THEY'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH, GO AHEAD, KILL THOSE GUYS_
The Bible is a childrens book
People needed this in order to evolve in the last 100 years
_THROW ROCKS AT THEIR HEADS UNTIL THEY STOP MOVING_
@Lios I'm gonna need chapter and verse on that chief.
The bible is meant to be for children.
"The first and greatest commandment" was "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength, and you shall have no other gods before me."
"Give me the child for the first seven years and I will give you the man"
@juts kill nme but it is the Lutheran church that has made it okay for Gay marriage
Not Catholcism
sounds creepy
Well, citation 1. The first commandment.
Citation 2: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Stoning
Stoning was a death sentence.
Slow and painful.
Catholism has always been about building an empire
Yeah, there were 612 laws in the Old Testament, and some of them carried the penalty of death.
I love how scientific progress caused the internet, which gives us the tools to debunk false religious claims
It gives you only what you put into it, it was made by man.
Have you already read the verses?
Lutheranism works alongside paganism and it is why the doctrine in schools is different and it is about humanity as opposed to flaggeration.
So you deny the entirety of the Old Testament, and claim it to be falsehood, and not province of God?
Why do you think a loving God would not defend his people with deadly force?
It is about the previous times .... the old testament. Read the New testament where it tells you they want mixture of things and no woman to wear a veil, unless they are married to god.
Why do you think a loving God would not explicitly condemn degeneracy?
"Don't kill people, unless I say it's good" is the writings of man from far before Christianity. This is a human law, not a holy one.
According to the Bible God considers all humans equal
Jesus did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it.
I think, Jake has you by the short and curlies with his arguement
So when you say "his people", you're contradicting the teachings of the Bible
God has no people
Humanity is taught through lutheranism
You definitely haven't read the Bible if you don't think there's a certain I-word associated with "his chosen people."
If you do not understand that, it is your own problem .
I have talked to priests about this
They sure know a hell of a lot more than you do
ANyone who's watched Veggietales can tell you that Israel is God's Chosen People. It says that far more often than it refers to stoning.
