See, you can't find any. Because there is nothing in the Bible to support you.
Beware false prophets...
The left doesn't hate "Bible believing Christians". Their issues tend to be with people who call themselves Christians and then use Jesus as a reason to do all the things Jesus says not to do, like judge and hate and condemn.
You speak of the Old Testament, pre-Jesus. That is the part of the Bible where the "do what I say or go to hell" rules exist. The GOSPELS speak of love, love, acceptance, love, and more love. If you can support your claim with actual Biblical text, I'd believe you.
I DO read the actual Bible. I've studied it forward and backward. It's you who obviously has not, as you cannot support your claims with anything from the Bible. Sure, you may find some whiny Paul quotes in his letters condemning homosexuality. But Paul also condemned marriage, so he may not be the best person to get advice from.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Where in the BIBLE does it say this? I mean... I've read the thing cover to cover about 12 times and I haven't found any evidence to support your claim.
I haven't BOUGHT INTO anything. I just read the Bible. In context. In 8 different translations. It says the same thing over and over. In this section of the Bible, Jesus is talking to the disciples about heaven. He uses this analogy because it is one the disciples would understand. The discussion comes right after the discussion of the rich man and the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
This immediately leads into Matthew 20:1-16 where Jesus uses the parable of the workers to explain to the disciples that, though their work is not in vain, they forgiveness of others is just as valid.
I'm not putting words in Jesus' mouth. I AM LITERALLY COPYING FROM THE BIBLE.
Obviously you haven't read the Bible, or you would know that. By saying that one has to live a conservative and "perfect" life in order to be saved, you are NEGATING CHRIST'S SACRIFICE. He didn't die for people who were "good Christians". HE DIED TO FORGIVE SINNERS OF THEIR SINS. PERIOD. UNCONDITIONALLY.
People like you are why atheism runs so rampant in the world. People hear idiots like you claiming that Jesus dislikes a group of people or didn't come to save everyone. Jesus doesn't hate people. YOU hate people. Jesus loved everyone. Bleeding heart liberals. Cold hearted conservatives. Moderates. EVERYONE.
Stop negating Jesus by pushing your own biased and WRONG agenda.
"Unwound" by Niel Shusterman is a good one too. I love the idea that though ABORTION is illegal in the book, they can give the kid back when they're 13. I'm down for that!
In order for the Browns to make it to the Playoffs, they have to beat a MINIMUM of 7 teams (that is the fewest number of wins that any team has had and still made it to playoffs). Let's look at their schedule for 2018 logically:
Giants - The giants have a great team. Browns DID beat them in '08, but that's a decade ago, and unless Jesus plays for the Browns, I doubt they have a chance.
Bills - THEY MIGHT WIN THIS ONE. THEY DID LAST YEAR. THE BILLS SUCK BALLS.
Eagles - the Eagles just won the Super Bowl against the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. There's no way they would lose to the Browns unless every single one of their players were critically injured or otherwise out. The last time they beat them was in 1994.
Lions - With the new coach, the Lions may have a good season (assuming his allegations from 20 years ago don't keep him from coaching #TeamMattPatricia. Last time the Browns beat them was in '01, so I doubt it.
Steelers - Though it pains me to say this, the Steelers are still a really good team. However, they've lost to the Browns in '14 and '12, so it's possible. We'll assume this is a bad year and they beat the Steelers ONCE. That brings us to 2 possible wins for the season.
Saints - Saint's suck, so we'll estimate 3 Browns wins for the season by this point.
Jets - Browns haven't beaten the Jets since 2010... so I doubt it.
Raiders - I'll give this one a 50/50 chance. Let's say this gives us 4 wins for the season after playing the Raiders.
Ravens - They beat them in 2015, but I highly doubt they'll beat them in upcoming years. Espcially since the Ravens seems to get marginally better each year.
Chargers - Browns have only beat them 9 times. I'm going to say it's a no go.
Buccaneers - No. Browns haven't beat them in 8 years.
Steelers - I gave 1, but they won't beat the Steelers twice in a season.
Chiefs - 50/50 chance, so we'll say Browns win this one, which puts them at 5.
Falcons - They won't beat the Falcons. Atlanta is a great team.
Bengals - They'll win this one. We'll estimate 6.
Texans - No chance in hell.
Panthers - Not gonna happen.
Broncos - Another loss for the Browns.
Bengals - MAYBE this will be win number 7.
Ravens - Yeah... I doubt it, but this might happen to. Let's say that's 8.
A PERFECT SEASON FOR THE BROWNS WOULD EQUAL 8 WINS. So, technically they could make the playoffs, but only if EVERY OTHER TEAM sucks balls.
Just because a player was good in college doesn't mean they'll even be decent in the pros. Browns fans can't put all their eggs in Baker Mayfield's basket. The kid is great, but he's going to get his ass handed to him.
That being said, I love that Browns fans are loyal and there IS a SLIGHT probability that they MIGHT accidentally stumble their way into the Playoffs, but I highly doubt it.
This is brilliant! I have nothing else to add to this argument, but it requires 50 characters, so enjoy.
Considering that it's not a baby until it's born, your argument has no validity. Until the crotch fruit is actually living on its own outside the body, the parasite should be eligible for removal.
That is... unless YOU want to adopt a bunch of rape babies?
Yes. People are dumb and their should be less of them. Not to mention that, though extreme, his point of view makes total sense. Less people = less resources used = further longevity of life.
Clinton, Bush, and Obama got a lot done in their time in office. Maybe you were too busy being stupid to notice.
I just fell out of my chair laughing at you. All Trump does it play golf.
I'm Pro Captivity with some hard core changes to how they are kept now.
For one, if we continute to keep them in captivity, they need more space to explore and move around. They also need more stimulation and to be kept in their biological pods instead of being a money grub of "whereever the money is gets the whale"
Chewing gum helps with cognition. For example, if you chew mint gum during math class every day, then chew the same mint gum during the test, you will remember more of what you learned during the classes.
I'm dying over here laughing at how stupid people are. You make a great point and they're too dumb to even realize what you're saying.
Actually, plenty of people were healed and fed without true belief. For example, in the gospels, Jesus healed 10 lepers. Only 1 actually chose to thank him or believe. So... maybe re-read some of the stories you're trying to forget are in the Bible.
Does God say he will help all people no matter what they believe or choose to do in life? Does he say he will keep them all safe for eternity no matter what? Universal Heaven?
YES. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE PARABLE OF THE WORKERS IN THE VINEYARD IN MATTHEW 20:1-16. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE PARABLE REFERS TO. THE WHOLE PREMISE IS THAT, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG THE WORKERS WERE WORKING, THEY WERE PAID THE SAME AMOUNT. THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD NOT CARING WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE, ONLY THAT YOU DID CHOOSE TO BELIEVE.
In response to your moronic belief that "good conservatives shouldn't pay for healthcare for others" maybe check out Deuteronomy 15:11, Galatains 6:2, Hebrews 6:10, Hebrews 13:16, John 15:12, Luke 6:38... and most of the rest of the Bible. Or just read the whole bit about the early church in Acts 2:42-47. In fact, the description of the early believers is pretty communistic if you actually read it.
DUDE. Have you even READ the Bible? God and Jesus were totally radical in love, acceptance, and treating others with dignity and respect, even if you didn't agree with them. I mean, Jesus hung out with a whore, a bunch of asshole teenagers, and the elderly. The whole theme of the gospels is "don't be a dick to each other"... Maybe you should read the actual Bible rather than rely on the bullshit some moronic asshat interpreted.
Do you intend to adopt the unwanted crotch fruit that is produced because of lack of availability for reasonable healthcare?
Maybe try doing some research or reading a book. Or like... not being a total moron?
So, you believe that trade should only be allowed for the rich and between countries where people are primarily white, that religious liberty should only be allowed for conservative and evangelical "Christians", that people should be forced to live in bodies that are inappropriate for their mental state? Have you ever read a book? Maybe start there...
Not a single one. He's basically sludge that someone decided to put in a suit. His businesses are a prime example of a "successful failure" and he is more of a distraction that an actual president.
There is no president (or even presidential candidate) in modern times who is worth spending more than 4 to 8 years suffering under. If we exceed the 8 year maximum, it then becomes too easy for one party or the other to shift into a more monopolized regime.
Personally, I support a woman's right to choose. No matter the circumstances. There are far too many children who are abused, given to foster care, living on the streets, and sold into sex trafficking. Why add more unwanted lives to the world?
I also don't think you're alive until maybe a few hours prior to birth. Until then, you're pretty much just a parasite.
If by progressive, you mean am I less conservative, than yes.
I believe that everyone should be able to live their life in whatever way they please as long as it does not directly physically or psychologically harm another. I believe that capitalism in theory makes sense but in practice is nothing more than a way for the rich to control everything and everyone. I believe that there is no real reason for race, religion, or sexuality to cause societal division, because as long as you don't shove it down anyone's throats, it really doesn't affect me at all.
