Who suggested the Christians crucified Jesus? Certainly not me! There were Jews who followed Jesus' teachings and became Christians when he was crucified...or, in other words, born of blood.

Are you serious with all this dodging and twisting? Is it supposed to further your debate? Is it supposed to be funny? I don't get it. It's just dumb

James 4:11
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.

Romans 2:1
[ God's Righteous Judgment ] You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Matthew 7:2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Matthew 7:1
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

James 4:12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you–who are you to judge your neighbor?

Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.

1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

1 Corinthians 6:5
I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?

and of course the classic
John 8:7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

John 15:12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

John 15:17
These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Mark 12:31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Matthew 22:39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 25:40
‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
==================

"Don't pass judgment, so you won't be judged. Don't forget, the judgment you hand out will be the judgment you get back. And the standard you use will be the standard used on you. Why do you notice the speck in your neighbor's eye, but overlook the timber in your own? How can you say to your neighbor, "Let me get the speck out of your eye, when there is that timber in your own? You phony, first take the timber out of your own eye and then you'll see well enough to remove the speck from your neighbor's eye." (Matthew 7:1-5 Scholars Version)

I am not claiming anything of any faith. Period.

I am pointing out the glaring, blatant hypocrisy of an avowed homosexual who claims to be a christian, yet knowingly lies in order to give blood that puts innocent people at risk.

Trista is claiming to be a Christian - just as you are. Are you really wanting to be associated with, and seen as the same as Trista? I know that if I were in your shoes, I sure wouldn't!

He is the epitome of the reason why so many people hate christianity. Well... that, and TBN!

to start of the day with such impotent rage and hostility and have such a dramatic hissy fit so early in the day must be draining on your body.

perhaps you could get get help from a good mental health professional - perhaps get the meds adjusted? something.

you're just too angry, bitter, hateful, nasty, and full of mean-spiritedness for it to be healthy for you.

Why is being 'better' such an important issue for you?

I'll be content with equal.
