IamJoseph: << A FALSEHOOD AND THE HOLY ONE CANNOT ABIDE TOGETHER. >>

Could somebody please tell this to Porkycrap?

"Could somebody please tell this to Porkycrap?"

I see the correct dogma to be: 'WHAT IS HATEFUL TO YOU - DO NOT DO TO OTHERS'. As opposed to 'DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU'. The latter allows one to enforce their views - but they would not accept it done to them. Millions were killed with the latter dogma.

IOW, reciprocity must apply. This has to be the foundation of all religions, Godliness, morality and law.

IamJoseph, you wrote:

"There is no coherence in 'LOVE THY ENEMY' - nor is it possible. In fact, it is a mandated crime not to confront an enemy wanting to kill or a wild animal attempting to harm a child."

I see no contradiction: one can and should love their enemy, yet when your duty calls to confront the enemy - you do, and if it is really necessary, kill them as well.

You may have tears in your eyes while doing so, but you do your bloody duty anyway, then: "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls" [proverbs 24, 17].

"I see no contradiction: one can and should love their enemy, yet when your duty calls to confront the enemy - you do, and if it is really necessary, kill them as well."

The confronting calls for a justice response. Whatever one's opinion, it is not accepted in the judiciary system nor in real life. Justice can and should be embellished with love, mercy, forgiveness and forebearence - but it cannot be dismissed from the equation. The higher treshold is the attainment of equalibrium, without negating anything.

TOO MUCH PEACE = NO JUSTICE

TOO MUCH JUSTICE = NO PEACE.

Where there is no justice - it is a false love. The merit is lost, and this can be seen when tested. Nothing is unconditional. The OT is right here.

Boaz is it?
I must have missed something while I was away for a few months.
I was wondering why this person posting as Ploycarp came into another thread dealing with Animal Welfare and just made one posting reading what about the "HUMANS"
( We are ALL Gods creatures David)
To be honest I thought it was an act of aggression- Well thats how it seemed to me to be honest. Then I read this thread to find out it was you David.
Umm, You used to be a little more fair in days gone by as far as I recall.
I am just wondering if you are upset by pale pointing out that you seem to post a great deal about Muslims but you dont see,m to have any knowledge of Australian Muslims.
If I remember I invited you to meet some of Australia`s Muslim leaders to discuss your fears and see if you still felt the same after.
You ignored my 3 posts inviting you.
I think thats pretty clear David.
Yes of course theres some problems building up and TBO David your not helping. I dont mean to offend you- thats not my intention. I am being very honest with you when I tell you this and I am in a position to know.

*Yesterday, (Sunday) I and a brother in Christ, went to the State Library to share Christ with any who would listen.*

Question-

Why couldnt you just say yesterday I went with a mate- instead a brother of Christ?
Just asking

I matters little what's written down in ancient texts when history tells a different story. At least, those texts that we are presented with. Other texts that don't fit the tale have long since been deleted and some remaining ones edited to suit.

What religious group has

- participated in the largest number of mass murders over recent centuries and even spawned the creation of the new word "genocide"?
- deliberately used nuclear weapons (the ultimate WMD) againsts others?
- obliterated so many other cultures and beliefs in it's struggle for total dominance and greed?
- began its formal existence with a series of bloody purges killing both unbelievers and believers alike?
- even now maintains International Treaties to ensure it's financial viability and various immunities - many of which still remain secret. (Concordats).

In the end it's just like a vast pyramid scheme, big on rhetoric and promises, but delivering as much harm than good and existing primarily for it's own sake.

AMWAY sells soap but religion peddles hope, but only one is obliged to legally deliver something in the end.

At least L. Ron Hubbard recognised the racket for what it was and cashed in on it when he saw the chance.
