Old Laws Still Valid?

More nonsense platitudes. Offended? Only that so many Christians seem to have NO clue what Christianity is all about and so allow empty slogans to replace what Jesus taught. More crap. Christianity is NOT Christ living it or Christ doing it, it is YOU doing what needs to be done.Throw the platitudes away. Yup, finally. It is you doing.Throw the platitudes away.Christianity is YOU doing it.It is the little things.It is the unseen things.It is the unimportant things.It is just trying to do what is right.It is not throwing out empty quotes taken out of context. It is not the empty patter of the Televangelist or the brain dead Christian apologist.It is just doing.It really is that simple.

I have a question...You said:And then you said: So, is it the trying that qualifies as doing, or just the doing?

All we can do is try.

So who judges the thoughts and intents of the heart? How do we know when someone is trying, and when they are not?It's easy to put on a mask, no?

Huh? More platitudes and empty worthless rhetoric. We don't. Only they know.

Thank you jar

So when you said: Does that mean you want to retract the other things you said?: These contradictions are disturbing jar.And when you said:How can you be a good Christian by doing unimportant things?You don't think Christ's work is important?Being raised christian and rejecting it does not make you a Christian. It makes you someone who rejects it.Edited by scottness, : No reason given.

Why don't they just be honest? I mean why would we not believe what they say?

Blah, blah, blah, blah.All anyone can do is try. It is the little things we can do that count. Because that is about all most of us get to do. Life is pretty much a series of unimportant events. We live day by day trying to do what is right at each step. Not just unimportant, absurd, useless and ridiculous. What does that have to do with the thread? Why are you running off into totally off topic nonsense yet again?Glad I didn't reject Christianity anyway.

Right?Do you mean those... ...things you mentioned?But you just said...All of this is in the context of Christians doing the work of Christ, which is the right thing, even if only trying.Why is it that you get away with responding to my posts with And Ringo gets away with asking me questions which assume in them, that I am obsessed or Napoleonic in my delusional state?But if I say what I am about to say... and that is, that the only thing you needed to say was Blah, blah, blah, blah, because the rest of your post is just redundant and equivocal to Blah, blah, blah, blah, then why do I have to fear being threatened for insulting the intelligence of other posters?And then you threaten people for being off topic when it is you who have been engaged in this sideshow with John 10:10 for some time.Who, in the name of the chaotic, incoherent, and isolated hell you are destined for... do you think you are?Can I give you a hint?You're absolute!Edited by scottness, : retractionEdited by scottness, : No reason given.

It's gotta be the trying. As you say, none of us is good. But trying to do the right thing is doing the right thing.

Of course... and realizing that we don't, and receiving the savior in good logical and intelligent honesty.It's the only good thing we can do... be honest and sensible.But it will get you in trouble, because liars rule the roost!Edited by scottness, : No reason given.Edited by scottness, : No reason given.

No one can do the work of Christ. Sorry but trying to do the work of Christ is just more nonsense.The topic is "Old Laws Still Valid?"Pointless platitudes like "doing the work of Christ" have nothing to do with the topic beyond being simply meaningless bombast.If we look at the Laws as laid out in the Bible what we find is that most are simply outdated. Most really are no longer valid.The idea of stoning someone for working on the Sabbath was even shown to be foolish by no less than Jesus.Fortunately, morals are relative and are the product of learning. As people learn more they constantly change what is considered moral with the record historically that the trend has been towards a morality that moves closer to the Golden Rule.Laws on the other hand have little to do with morality and nothing to do with Justice.Laws are arbitrary and unrelated to the actual conditions of a given incident. Laws need to be constantly reviewed and where possible abolished.When it comes to the Laws found in the Bible, most of them have been tossed aside Thank God. It is no longer legal to have slaves in most of the world, no longer legal to stone someone for working on the Sabbath, no longer illegal to grow two crops in a field or to eat shrimp. Beg pardon?And please, try to stop misrepresenting what I post by quotemining out of context.
