You are still picking and choosing. Ignoring the Old Testament Laws with an excuse is still choosing, you merely think that you have a valid reason for doing so. You may not have done the choosing, it was done for you by your church leaders. But that does not mean it has not happened.The Holy Orthodox Church does not pick and choose. We are under the New Covenant, not Jewish Law. The Bible progresses from one to the other as all is revealed through time, and we practice its finality. You absolutely 100 percent have no idea what Christianity is. This is typical basement posting by completely uneducated atheists found on any forum or social media site.
"Good thing Christians don't stone adulteresses like the Bible teaches."You are still picking and choosing.

I know, I know, those are excuses, not explanations."Good thing Christians don't stone adulteresses like the Bible teaches."

Christianity:
John 8
8 1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

Just stop.
I would suggest that you follow your own advice. Until you can explain Why it was okay in the Old Testament but not the New you are only making excuses."Good thing Christians don't stone adulteresses like the Bible teaches."

If you go 45mph in a 45mph zone when it was previously a 35mph zone, guess you are a law breaker because it was 35 before.I know, I know, those are excuses, not explanations.
As I said, no Christian follows the Bible. You pick and choose which parts to follow and make excuses for not obeying all of it.
And this is why the Bible is not a book of morality. Even different Christians will disagree about what is moral based upon it.
I understand what excuses you will use. Don't try to claim that I do not understand Christianity. Many atheists were Christians and became atheists through a superior understanding of the Bible.
Failed analogy.If you go 45mph in a 45mph zone when it was previously a 35mph zone, guess you are a law breaker because it was 35 before.
You think Nazism is equivalent to drag?
I know your excuses.You do realize we dont follow old testament laws right?
We are sinners, but we work towards changing that. If a thief stole everyday and asked for forgiveness he would be a Christian would he?
You aren't a Christian so dont tell anyone what we do or dont follow. You have no standing, like i have standing tell a hindu what they should follow.
Superior understanding of the Bible, atheists? LoL
Pride, pride before the fall. Your fall is coming, what will you tell Jesus was your reason? Superior knowledge

I know your excuses.
You want to use the Bible as a source of morality and all you can come up with are excuses and not explanations of why you pick and choose which parts to follow.
Many atheists were Christians and became atheists through a superior understanding of the Bible.
Ha! Of course not.Ill just add that they're on a CHRISTIAN FORUM, not reddit or twitter.
They choose to come here and try to disrupt things, to spread their moral depravity and sinful message.
I wonder if they're brave enough to do so on islamic forum's?
Wow! Now this is a personal attack. No one is spreading depravity. That you cannot justify your beliefs is not a good reason to get mad and make false claims about others.Ill just add that they're on a CHRISTIAN FORUM, not reddit or twitter.

That has nothing to do with correcting your errors. Again, many atheists became so by a superior understanding of the Bible. This is a rather sad and weak personal attack on your part.Again, your have no authority to lecture anyone, as you arent a Christian.
As you say, "
I do not have a good understanding of Islam. And in the U.S. they are not the problem.Ha! Of course not.
You don't have a good understanding of Christianity, either. Your views of Christianity being the Old Testament leads me to believe that you understand Islam better than Christianity.I do not have a good understanding of Islam. And in the U.S. they are not the problem.
Re read it. Its clear, that you didnt understand it.
Again, many atheists became so by a superior understanding of the Bible.

You previously said that many atheists used to be Christians and thus they know all about Christianity. Well many Christians like myself used to be know nothing militant atheists who know all about your agenda and lack of knowledge.
What makes you think that I did not come to the truth?This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
