The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

[JGRaider]

That seems like a reach. Does it actually say that? Or just you trying to justify calling people swine that have different religious views?

Matthew 7:6
King James Bible
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Are you basically just saying that people have the choice to believe in god or not??? Again, what about people who were never exposed to these ideas? Do they go to hell???

Everyone has a chance to accept or reject. In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle—everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.

Glad I saw how bizarre and nonsensical this stuff was relatively early in life and got out of the cult.

How did this apply to say, the Chinese for about 5000 years? Or natives of this continent before Europeans brought Christianity here in the 1600’s. They literally would have never heard of Jesus their entire lives for hundreds of generations before then.

So love your neighbor, do unto others as you would have them do to you, all are children of god… but also many of them are swine and not worth the effort…
That’s either a bad interpretation or admitting that god created failed experiments doomed to eternal torture.

You're interpretation couldn't be more off base. It would really benefit all you naysayers to go back and read this thread. The questions you're asking have all been addressed at least twice previously.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You can simply not open it. Even as dumb as I am, I can pull this off a couple hundred times a day with threads of no interest to me.

There's no hate like Christian love. Wow, what a jerk.

Defend this. This'll be fun.

How is it being a jerk? It was a simple response to the question. There are hundreds of threads a day that are of no interest to me whatsoever. I can be an adult and skip over them without entering each one and asking how to hide them, correct?

I have no desire to defend the article you posted and have no idea what relevance it has to the thread.

Exactly my point.
