@seekeroftruth6728 "I am thinking they only claim to be his followers. Lol! "Beware of false prophets."" That is NOT an example of the No true Scotsman fallacy. They aren't protecting a claim by a falsifying example, by modifying their initial claim.

@seekeroftruth6728 I understand that's what you were claiming. What I'm saying is that's not what that fallacy means. I stated above why that's so.

@seekeroftruth6728 That's not what they're talking about, Mr. Straw Man. They're talking about forgiving others, showing mercy, and being kind. If it was easy, you wouldn't be trolling here.

This @AkonFenty1992 is trolling all over these comments.

Anyone who takes the Revelation literally operates on crude thinking. It starts with John the Revelator saying it's a vision, and therefore not to be taken literally.

Centuries of inquisitions and crusades.

@AkonFenty1992 You cannot be arrested ONLY for praying and preaching. It would have to be for something else, and they just so happened to be praying and preaching.

@AkonFenty1992 Yes it is, as it's read IN THE BIBLE. But people can do with that whatever they want, and they always have. So it becomes about what those people want, not what's actually in the Bible.

@micheledix2616 Jesus had Judaism as the core, and almost the entirety of his teachings. The Golden Rule comes from Deuteronomy, and the first time he spoke in public it was reading a passage from Isaiah. However, in the 5th chapter of Matthew, during the sermon on the Mount, he lays out some examples of how his lessons differ. This mostly comes down to adding another layer to Judaism.

In Jesus' time, before Christianity, there was no such thing as an afterlife for the Jews in their scripture: no Heaven or Hell that you went to when you died. There was Sheol (worth looking up), and the grave--which became "the pit" (i.e., a dug grave) in Hebrew scripture, which became the pit of Hades for the Christian church. The English translations most people see will, therefore, occasionally, show Jesus speaking of Hell and Heaven. But Heaven was "among us, within us," Jesus said, not some location; and the pit of Hell was death; satan was just the Hebrew word for "adversary." The whole "burning" thing, and Hell as an idea for the Christians, came about because of Gehenna: This was the trash dump outside ancient Jerusalem, which was infested with vermin, and burned day and night. The early Christian church wanted a mythology for Jesus, so they took Hebrews ideas out of context, and twisted them.

@AkonFenty1992 You're trolling all over these comments, and don't know the first thing about the Bible.

@moorek1967 "Walk out the door if the house is not to your liking." If that's how you feel, you should have "walked out the door" and not replied to them, since what the wrote "is not to your liking."

@AkonFenty1992 "Sell everything you have, give the money to the poor, then follow me." No one was as leftwing as Jesus in the text.

@micheledix2616 So, by definition, Jesus was the first Christian. Now, Christianity as a religion differs for lots of churches, and is mostly about what to believe. Jesus wasn't interested in beliefs, in the text. Whatever you believed was fine with him. For him, in the text, it was more important to love and forgive, than to believe in dogma.

@micheledix2616 Rabbi just meant "teacher." It was not an official title he had. The Pharisees spoke often about how Jesus was uneducated.

@Spiritof_76 I didn't say anything about it actually happening. I am saying it's much more complicated that your insipid little sentence. You and the believers are really cut from the same cloth: You both can't look any deeper than crude literalism; you both want to make it simple, because you're simple.

@meetmando Christianity is a branch of Judaism, so uses the Old Testament, which is the original Hebrew scriptures. Christianity uses all the ideas from Judaism, with an additional layer--which Jesus talked about in Matthew chapter 5.

@Spiritof_76 "Now explain the whole "trinity" whatchamacallit. How does your explanation jibe with the Jesus is God claim?" That's getting into dogma and belief. Not everyone believes the same things, obviously. The Bible doesn't have to be about beliefs.
