[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no violence in the New Testament. The old regulations were nailed to the cross with Jesus. He taught turn the other cheek, and he without son cast the first stone. The Old Testament brutal rules don't apply to Christianity.[/quote]

Except this part?

"I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds."[/quote]

I should have clarified that this was because she was sexually immoral. That New Testament God sounds like a real winner. [/quote]

-said the religion-hating atheist.[/quote]

Those were Jesus' words about Jezebel, I believe, as a warning before the final judgment.  Even some Christians can understand that biblical passages were designed to instill fear in the reader/listener.

not exactly kind, loving words

like father, like son, I suppose

main message - Whores and their children go to hell.  [/quote]

The main message of the New Testament is far from what you've written here, and Jesus loved children. He also loved and healed people from all walks of life. I encourage you to read and study all the words of Jesus in the New Testament.  For the best of reasons, they've brought me and many others great peace, comfort, and hope. [/quote]
I posted the scripture above, but not the "father like son" response.

The point I was making is about violence in holy books influencing religion-based violence today. [/quote]

I posted "like father, like son."

many MANY years of Catholic school - so the NT isn't so new to me

Some people find comfort in those texts; others use and abuse them to gain power.

If you're disenfranchised, you're easy prey.   Therein lies the problem.  [/quote]
