Honestly Mike, I really don't care why you attacked her. The fact is that you did.

do you read what he writes??? I attacked him, it was unprovoked and I will admit I was wrong.

Really, Firebabe? I got the impression that you were kind of poking fun at all of us. Making a joke to make everyone see how ridiculous this is. I laughed it off, and I certainly didn't see it as an attack. To each his own I guess.

Tolerant and merciful are not synonyms. They're two completely different things.



Wow! I can't believe you just slandered my God like that.

If you really believe that God wasn't merciful or unforgiving in the Old Testament, then you've never read the Old Testament. God was very much merciful and forgiving in the Old Testament. Read the Psalms. Read Isaiah.

For somebody who keeps insisting that they're a Christian, I don't know how you can be so utterly ignorant of God's character in the OT.

God forgave David. God forgave Isaiah. God forgave Israel time after time, even though they broke their covenant with God repeatedly.

Jesus was just as merciful and forgiving in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament.



And you will continue to slander God because you do not know Him.

Ok. my perception was off I was wrong and I'll say as much. Thank you for explained it to me, but you didn't need to call me ignorant. I'm still learning.

ITS NOT UNBLIBICAL JUST BECAUSE ITS NOT ON YOU'RE BIBLE. SO CRAM YOU'RE BIBLE IN YOU'RE EAR.....SOUNDS FAMILIAR RIGHT?

Actually, if it's not in the Bible, then it is by definition, Unbiblical.

In order for something to be Biblical, it must be taught in the Bible. That's why it's called Biblical.

I read what you posted. It was clearly not meant to be taken the way he did. You two have been friends. You said one thing that could have been taken the wrong way and he did. I'm sorry firebabe, but you did not deserve his comeback.

I believe you should understand the bible and what god asks of you before you are baptized. To me it is more about the meaning then the getting wet. You are to walk the path with jesus. He was baptized by john. He died on the cross for us, so that one day we can join him in heaven. Talk to god daily, ask him what he wants of you, ask him to mold you and make you whole. As humans we falter in our every day lives. ask god to forgive you threw the blood of jesus and try not to do it again.
