Why Such A Cycle Of Hatred?

[goodlife]

Hatred is extremely strong dislike for, or intense hostillty towards other people.
Are those hated perceived as evil, or inferior, a threat of the cause of problems in the world today.

[sandyRoe]

Many Christians here in N Ireland hate those who follow the same god but in a different church.

[douglas9401]

Football shirts trump any god in some areas of Scotland, except for an hour or so on a Sunday when wearers impersonate human beings.

[gness]

I began to hate a man when I was seven. I hate him today. I hate that he was lauded by members of his Christian Church though some knew what he was like.
The world isn't in a mess because of man's independence from God.
Part of the mess, the cruelty towards others, the using of faith to control and abuse others is because of the drummed in belief that there is some sort of a God.

\\ In the Bible, the term “hate” has several shades of meaning//
Like so many words in the bible, it's ambiguous and so very convenient.

[davebro]

goodlife - you're on a loser here. Go peddle your religion somewhere else!

[goodlife]

You're for getting the good news have to be preached and all the Earth. Whether it's good news to those that want it. And bad news for those don't. The choice is yours. But the day is getting near when there will be a day of reckoning for the whole. That'll be a good day for me. Mark 13:10. Shandy roe. Where in Northern Ireland are you?

Goodlife, only cowards out to save their own skins (or sorry souls) capitulate to threats - and that's exactly what you're promoting. A threat. There's nothing to commend that - nothing at all.

Are goodlife and psalmequipt, the same person? Could it be that TheLand has returned? Hmmm.....

// In the Bible, the term “hate” has several shades of meaning//

You had an adequate definition in the first sentence of your introduction to the thread.

Somehow you've managed to eke out an alternative meaning which quite frankly to my mind, is an utter misconstrue of the word.

I am not in the least bit convinced by your somewhat embellished interpretation!

[vulcan42]

Absolutely correct Zebu but this is what these people do. They change the meaning of words and sentences in the bible to suit their argument, yet when we quote word for word extracts we're told we don't understand the bible.

[naomi24]

Clarion, Theland was neither. He was Theland. Goodlife is a Jehovah's Witness and I'm pretty sure psalmequipt is too.

They have their own version of the bible.

[Peter Pedant]

ho hum it is a funny old world out there

[Peter Pedant]

RC have their own version of the bible for chrissakes
1580 Douai version - just so it couild be difft from the KJV thirty years later

from St Jerome's Vulgate translation - latin
500 AD or so - more books and difft titles Sam 1 = Kings 1

from the Greek, and I am not sure if we have his base text - oh! LXX of course !

But everyone really knew that didnt they? Normal sunday on AB then

[naomi24]

//ho hum it is a funny old world out there //

It's a funny old world in here with your nonsensical ramblings, PP.

[Peter Pedant]

LXX - the alexandrians hebrew was slipping and so 300 BC they commissioned 70 ( LXX in latin geddit?) to translate it into Hellenic Greek

and they all did it separately and came out of their cells and the translation matched - Hooray
( they had a consensus more like)

and when some rugby hearties when to X-ides Island, you know vomit down shirts etc, they went into a church and asked the priest for an LXX bible, as one they had left behind (me, praying earnest ly of course)read the bible in Greek
- - he gave them one for free !

[Peter Pedant]

1.There are people called roman actholics
2.they have a bible
3.it is their own version - it is called Douai where it was translated. This is one is in English. The pope said OK ( nihil obstat) and then he said OK again (Imprimatur)
4. it is not very good ( personal opnion)
5. KJV is better ( personal opinion)
6 various books have different names ( that is for the usual ABer, the name is not the same ha!)
7. they have extra books - Daniel, Letter of Jude
8 the clocks have gone forward ( christ!)
9. a lot did this at school , but not many on AB it seems
jesus
normal day on AB

What would you rather have? God will be selective in whom he removes in contrast to Putin who would rather ALL be destroyed in his arrogance and persistent lies.
God does not destroy needlessly. He is selective in that he only destroys those who have tried to destroy his people. eg Pharoah when he tried to destroy the Isrealites. The pagan nations who tried to destroy his people and that is just a couple of examples.
As I have repeatedly said, you may know your Bible, but you do not understand it.
I could talk all day but it goes in one ear and out the other.
Wait till you see more action on the earth - but sorry, it will then be too late.
