The more you read the Bible, the more you’ll love it’s Author.

…Says DevotedtoChrist, who apparently hasn’t read much of the Bible.

Here’s a sample of some of the verses you’ve just got to “love”:

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

“This is what the Lord Almighty says… ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)

“Do not allow a sorceress to live.” (Exodus 22:18)

“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Psalm 137:9)

“So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, ‘Get up; let’s go.’ But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.” (Judges 19:25-28)

“In the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.” (Romans 1:27)

“And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, and said, ‘If you will give the Ammonites into my hand, then whoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return victorious from the Ammonites, shall be the Lord’s, to be offered up by me as a burnt-offering.’ Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah; and there was his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and with dancing. She was his only child; he had no son or daughter except her. When he saw her, he tore his clothes, and said, ‘Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low; you have become the cause of great trouble to me. For I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I cannot take back my vow.’” (Judges 11:30-1, 34-5)

‘Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.’ (Genesis 22:2)

“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)

“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)

There are 6 billion hearts around the world, as fast as a snap, Jesus could fill those empty hearts with His love. He is seriously and unimaginably great! :)

Says ignorant homophobe appreciatinglife… What kind of person is appreciatinglife if she thinks only Christians know love? What kind of love is that? And what happens to those who don’t love Jesus back? Are they damned in hell for all eternity?

Where I come from, we “Pray” first, THEN we “Eat”, THEN we “Love”. (HAHAHA. Just kidding. I’m incapable of love. And there is no God.)

“If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.” (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

“What has God done to you that is so horrible…?”

First, your “God” doesn’t exist, so “He’s” done nothing to me. My ire is for those who preach ignorance, bigotry and hatred in “His” name.

Second, if you don’t think creating mankind with the foreknowledge that you’ll burn most of them eternally in hell solely because they have the wrong religion is “horrible”, then I can only conclude that you <s>are an idiot</s>have serious issues you need to work on.

If you think “God is love” then good. If you think love involves burning people eternally in hell simply for having the wrong religion, then <s>go fuck yourself</s>may your “God” have mercy on your soul.
