HumbleMan said:I'm glad to see you post in more than just the political forums, Sharp. While I've agreed with some of the things you've posted, your stance on Christ is a little too....... well, I don't know how to describe it.
Christ is the Son of God, the Word of God, the Sacrificial Lamb. His ministry on earth was two fold; to show the Glory of the coming Kingdom, and to show the proper attitude in obeying the Law.
The bible does condemn homosexuality. It doesn't say we are to condemn those that are unrepentent. That is Christ's judgement. We are to expose the world to the Good News of Christ, pray that those in the dark see the light, and turn from their ways. Nowhere does it say to ridicule, treat poorly, or withhold love from anyone, including gays.
What kind of church do you go to? Are you seperatists? Or are you a beacon of light on the path to the narrow gate? If your church isn't preaching the Truth through Love, then you need to find another church. And I'm saying this because I am worried about you. Don't harden your heart because you feel Christianity is a sport.
"Actually many democrats are fine, born-again Christians. They just don't belong in the democrat party. Their home should be in a party that reflects Godly, Bible-based values."
Show me a political party that does this, and I would vote for them.

Nah, he shouldn't be banned. He does occasionally come in here and look at our responses. And I feel that if given enough time to allow our festering liberal plague to get around him, he might get sick too and become a little more liberal. Or something.mhatten said:Well what a surprise 5 pages and no return of Sharp. I said it in Politics and I will say it here, he spams and should be banned. And imagine my surprise when he repsonded to that. He said that my posts were not worthy of responding too; so I guess 5 pages of semi-dissertations aren't either. Oh well I think you are all probably all the better for it.
Umm, actually Judas is pretty near the Greek: Ioudas.Judas, Judah, and Jude are all the same name in Greek. I suspect (but I don't know) that English forms of the other two names were chosen so as to be different in English to avoid association between the two good guys and the bad guy.Texas Lynn said:Judas (treasurer of the Disciples and a stereotypical parsinimous Jew--no one's real name was ever "Judas", it is simply a Latinization of the phrase "a Jew" used to encourage anti-Semitism) objected to her spending the money.
Don't forget Jude Law and Yakov Smirnoff!Treasure the Questions said:Thanks for that, Polycarp. I really do find that sort of thing fascinating. I had realised Judas, Jude and Judah were all the same name, but hadn't appreciated Yehudah was the original name, nor that Jakob was originally Jakov.
