Holy moly! Jesus only resurrected Lazarus once. AV1611VET has resurrected this thread twice!

Just goes to show you can not keep a good man down.

The fact that someone might be willing to die over something as stupid as creationism is just mind-boggling.

What about those who beat and torture those "who are willing to die over something as stupid as creationism"?

If I'm stupid enough to die for creationism, are you stupid enough to beat me to death over it?

Who has been beaten or tortured for creationism?

We had a missionary speak at our church who was arrested and beaten for that very thing.

Sure he was.

You know people can claim things happened even if those things didn't actually happen.

 

[AV1611VET]

What a thing to say.

 

[partinobodycular]

What a thing to say.

You make lots of claims AV... here's one that you should actually be able to back up.

 

[Kylie]

What a thing to say.

It's true though.

Or do you think that if someone claims it, it MUST be true?

 

[AV1611VET]

Are you willing to die protesting the existence of Santa Claus? Let's hope not - that's a pretty stupid way to die. Same with me and god - I'm not going to die over something that trivial.

Here's a better question:

Would you be willing to die for writing that King Herod was fooled by the Wise Men from the East?

Maybe. Maybe not. The question should be: who in the heck would be picking people off because they (like me) value and tend to believe the writing?

I really don't expect anyone to attempt to coral me like they did Peter, Paul or Papias. But then again, the way things are going.............................

I will die rather than renounce or hide my faith in Jesus Christ - Who died for me. He purchased me with His blood - I belong to Him.

These are the kind of folks I look forward to meeting in the next life - my spiritual family...

Hebrews 11:35-40 NLT

"But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half,[a] and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground."

"All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us."

This is how folks respond to pure Love - seek Him and join us! All are welcome.

I wouldn't die for any religious beliefs. Yet at the same time, other than death, it would be impossible to erase from my soul the remembrance of touching the Divine.

 

[AV1611VET]

Would you write that King Herod was fooled by the Wise Men, if you had witnessed it?

Especially if knowing what kind of person King Herod was?

I've always found it interesting how the 3 Magi, who were Zoroastrians, have through the years and even to this day played an important role in Christian religious beliefs.
