LOL it is a shame he is being so foolish....he was an excellent, gifted actor in that series. Me thinks thoughts of his eventual death is catchin' up with him.

It's not even "too much Old Testament", in the Old Testament God is compassionate, shows mercy, is patient and long-suffering. Consider the lesson we learn from Jonah, or the word delivered to Ezekiel that God does not desire the death of the wicked, that God takes no pleasure or joy in the destruction of the wicked by desires that that the wicked repent and change their ways so they might live and have life. God has always been a merciful, compassionate, kind and patient God who has no desire for the destruction of the wicked, who has loving-kindness for the sinner and for the wicked person to change their ways and truly live and have life. -CryptoLutheran |

Usually, though, I just write something on the inside cover, like "Thanks for reading my book!" and sign it "Love, Jesus."

This makes absolutely no sense.
Keep it simple.
Ever wanted to destroy or remove something you found vile and offensive?
I think he's showing a lot restraint not destroying the entire book. Originally Posted by suzybeezy Personally I've never been a big fan of his, and this blatant blasphemy will likely impact whether I support him financially by watching his movies in the future.
yah, he cares. |

The vast majority of Christians, while they don't literally remove the pages, do generally ignore the rules in Leviticus.
I've heard the argument many times that the dietary laws don't apply and the moral ones do or similar mental gymnastics but I'm pretty sure theres nowhere in the Bible that specifies 'Rules 1-6 are still valid, rules 7-20, exclulding 13, no longer apply.'

nah, it be foolish, to sit in a hotel room, find the Bible in the drawer, and search for those partticular verses, and proceed to rip them out....and it hints at the fact he may have done this on a regular basis
