Favorite Bible Passages Ok, I get it. The SN Board of Directors wants this to be a family-friendly website with Christian values. I desperately want to fit in and please the SN Board of Directors, so I thought I'd start a thread about my favorite passages from the King James Bible! You can post yours too. The first book of the King James Bible of course is Genesis, where one of my favorite passages is found. It's about this guy Lot, who curiously sounds like he lived in Alabama. Enjoy: Genesis 19:30-38 King James Version (KJV) "30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father."

Agreed... like I said, I also want to see the guy in there. I probably agree with him less than you do... but like you it's time for a change. (no Obama, I mean a REAL change! You say "Change" and that guy pops up every time.) ;)

I know you are too young but when I was a kid Ross Perot was the crazy 3rd party guy... I didn't know a lot back then (I was 15), but I knew what we had going on wasn't working... I kept begging my parents to vote for him... I said "let the crazy guy have a turn, how much worse can it be?!"

That's basically my take on RP (hmm, same initials)... Let the crazy guy have a run at it. Honestly I know he can't do most of what he WANTS to do so I figure what he actually CAN do will right a lot of the wrong direction that we are headed as a country. What he can't do, well that's just the crazy stuff he shouldn't do anyway. ;)

That guy could be Gandhi himself and it wouldn't matter because he doesn't believe in fairytales.

Here is a news flash, I "TECHNICALLY" have "christian" values.

I agree with the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi and many others. Though I am not a Buddhist, hindu nor a xtian. Jesus was just a man (if he indeed actually existed), no different than any of those other guys. They all had good ideas on how one should live their lives. I agree with most of their teachings.

Like Gandhi essentially said and Wayne is saying but not quite as elegantly... most xtians don't seem to. How many "xtians" do you know REALLY don't care about the poor and homeless? They rather take the stance of "I will help those that help themselves"... though noble, not the way Jesus did it.

My point is that the people who founded our country while not all Christians, our country is still based on Christian values... Ten Commandments etc... not science, not hinduism, not muslim beliefs etc... they are based on Biblical foundations...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. . . .4

BUT, our country wasn't founded by them. It was founded after a dedicated group decided to REBEL against those that were in charge "back home". Which btw, by that time were not even the same people who sent ol Chris over here to start with.

Again, why are we discussing this... it was written in BLACK and WHITE in the treaty with Tripoli that we WERE NOT FOUNDED ON CHRISTIANITY. That treaty was written and signed by the actual founders/framers of the country.

This is where things get a little intolerant from your side by my perspective. Why can't you just worship all you want and accept that your way wasn't always THE way. Our founding fathers also had slaves... should we continue in this practice?

End of the day we have the Treaty with Tripoli and no need to "speculate" on what they MIGHT have intended based on some obscure "traditional" wording of the day.

All that jazz about forcing people to get insured is ridiculous... but plain and simple health care needs to be reformed. Just like the Consumer Protection Bill... lots of good stuff in there that I have already seen on my bills that will help the undereducated understand their bills better. But I'm certain there is some dumb stuff in there I would disagree with.

Bush did one worse than the Healthcare bill... he did the Patriot act in a VERY similar late night last minute session. Healthcare bill may seem unconstitutional when people want to complain but the Patriot Act straight takes away people's rights, freedom and liberties. Granted Obama is passing some similar trash right now also. Bush also signed TARP which 80% of the people rejected but he also used TARP to fund the auto bail out when congress said "ENOUGH!".

Like the Judge says, we don't have a two party system, it's a one party system with a left wing and a right wing, both essentially want the same thing.

But every president we have had is a bully.

As far as the President goes, your votes elect the President beforehand(in reality popular votes are really just to make voters feel better). Electoral votes count, and the people that the voters elected previously are the ones that chose the President. If you didn't have insurance, and couldn't get it (because of previous cancer etc...) you would not be so quick to judge a man that is trying to do the right/christian thing.....help those in need.
I worked in hospitals for over 18 years, and have seen people die from not getting the heathcare that they need(denied by insurance companies).
Hmmm interesting concept..helping those that can't help themelves. Sounds like a great way to get on GOD's good side, helping those in need, just like Jesus did.]]> wayneacree Off Topic Discussion Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:32:21 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215693#msg-215693 Re: Favorite Bible Passages http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215693#msg-215693 codyroberts18 Off Topic Discussion Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:20:44 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215692#msg-215692 Re: Favorite Bible Passages http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215692#msg-215692

I read an interesting quote today.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
H. L. Mencken

Technically if I remember correctly the act of sex is ONLY supposed to be used when it can bring about a child. Meaning, you should only be having sex to procreate. By that logic you should ONLY be having sex when it's possible to get pregnant and one should be using the rhythm method completely the OPPOSITE way that it is taught today.]]> Gilligan Off Topic Discussion Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:00:03 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215686#msg-215686 Re: Favorite Bible Passages http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215686#msg-215686 You should restudy history, FREEDOM FROM RELIGION.....ie..religion shall not rule the country.

As I just stated in my reply to Cody... I wouldn't say that this country was "FOUNDED" as an xtian nation because of some silly little lines in the pledge... because those were added WAY after our country was founded. This isn't a chicken and egg situation... it's pretty cut and dry. As far as on money, it was on coins as far back as 1864... but that is still VERY far from when we "FOUNDED" this country.

One could VERY well argue that the opposite is quite true... let's look at the Treaty with Tripoly that was signed in 1796 (obviously some time before those catch phrases got put on the money)... it says "The United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion"... This treaty was written under the presidency of George Washington and signed under the presidency of John Adams.

I believe that is what we called DEBUNKED and there really is no need to continue any other discussion of whether or not this country was founded as an xtian country.]]> Gilligan Off Topic Discussion Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:28:32 -0600 http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215679#msg-215679 Re: Favorite Bible Passages http://www.sndg.org/forum/read.php?9,200251,215679#msg-215679
I'm pretty sure Atheist are "under attack" more than xtians are. We don't even claim that we are "under attack" but even when people claimed that those that said people wearing the Tim Tebow Jersey number with "JESUS" on the top instead of "Tebow" were blaspheming a priest said "this is an attack on xtianity"... no, it's actually more in-line with jesus's teachings than most people... pretty sure he wouldn't have wanted to be used as a t-shirt design to make money off of.

Xtians basically "rule" the world. Look at our current president, he had to lie and say he was an xtian to get elected (no, I don't think he is a secret muslim, I think he is agnostic or an atheist actually). Hell, Romney has been "attacked" for not being an xtian several times by obviously VERY uninformed people. The "xtianity is under attack" card is played SOOO often it's ridiculous.

This thread IS a good example. All we were doing was quoting the bible and it was claimed as "blasphemy". Why is quoting the bible blasphemy? Because those are the parts of the bible you rather forget? I mean, they are "the word of god" right?

Our countries Pledge of Allegiance was changed, our money was changed... NOT the other way around. When we ask to have our money and our pledge put back we are "attacking xtianity"... hell, you guys call for boycotts of Pepsi when they get patriotic and put the pledge on their can because they leave off the part that was ADDED in 1954 (over 50 years after it was originally written). The author's daughter actually said that he would NOT have wanted it that way and purposefully did not include such language. Including such language is COMPLETELY unpatriotic and unamerican.

I find it most comical that xtians (who are about 76% of the US's population) claim that they are under attack from the ~20% of atheist/agnostics. Never has the story of David and Goliath been so mistold.]]> Gilligan Off Topic Discussion Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:21:40 -0600
