Really?!

Interesting. I did not know that. That, I did not know.

Why is the majority of Jesus' life not written about in the bible? There is a huge gap from about age 12 until the very last few years of his life (around 30)... So are we to believe that he spent all those years just making cabinetry? Other religions have stories about what Jesus did in those missing years... even the Gnostic Gospels have some details about those times...

Maybe the editors and the project developers felt that 30 years of cabinetry making would create a drag in the middle when the feature length film was later made.

While I believe in the general teachings of Christ; the simple principle of love your neighbor as yourself... There are too many holes in the bible for me to take it literally... Worse the old testament which is just a rip of the Jewish Torah... Yet ironically, the Jews don't take those books literally, yet so many Christians do...

Says you.

Frankly I like a good stoning in the spring...

Hey, no one here is on their second marriage, eh? Or maybe has a spouse that did a lil' somethin'-somethin' before betrothal?

If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her ... and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: And the damsel's father shall say ... these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. ... But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die-Deuteronomy 22:13-21

Good thing we've got some Parent-Of-The-Year award winners...

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die.-- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

Uh oh...remember the Bush and Obama threads? Yeah...that's a problem...

Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.--1 Kings 21:10

UUggg...Adultery bad...rape victims too...

If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city.--Deuteronomy 22:23-24

My Grandmother told me that there was a passage in the bible that says, "It is better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore, than to spill it on the ground." So, I tried both and the bible's right! It's way better. That's one of the reasons they call it the good book. I'd imagine a lot of you are worried about that one.

And, hey, speaking of that...

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched. --Mark 9:43

Any adopted kids? From another marriage? Unholy unions?...better leave the kids at home

One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the congregation of the Lord--Deuteronomy 23:2

And, do God a favor...shut that ***** up...

Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says--1 Corinthians 14:34

I've noticed as women get older, especially after marriage, they tend to opt for convenience of style in the grooming department but if your female septagenarian doesn't look like Saruman you'd better bind her feet.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering--1 Corinthians 11:13-15

It's a good thing everyone around here has their houses in order or we'd need some relief pitchers.
