Christians aren’t evil. However if half of the Christians truly lived what they preached, the world would be a much better place.

Do you think you keep all of the commandments? All of your life?

What happens when you break one or more commandments?

How many are you allowed to break before it’s too many to get into heaven?

Jesus Christ forgives us of our sins, which are many.

Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.


You can't break any. You obviously have already, thus you need to repent. I mean the actual meaning of the word repent. When you fix and learn from your mistakes you will be forgiven for them. Same as you would want for your own child. You do not punish them for the sake of punishment, it is so they learn from the mistakes and you forgive them when they do that. Repent for your sins, fix your mistakes, do better, whatever you want to call it.

But to get into what you would call heaven, you have to keep them all. If you don't, then your very presence destroys it.

This goes beyond religion. It should be obvious to any who want to live in such a society. If you want to live in a "high trust" society, these are the kind of people required. What some may debate is what is "good", and that's where understanding comes in. You can't do it without good understanding and that is why Paul puts a mask on Jesus.

If you follow Jesus and what he says, then you are doing those things. Thus the way.

The idol of Jesus is not the way to the father, that's why you are all prisoners to a collection of books, you need replacements.

What he represents, is how you find the father. He doesn't say I Jesus am the only way to the father. He says I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me


Jesus is the expression of those things and you aren't meant to replace them with "Jesus". And if you follow and understand the way, then you can see that Jesus is a true expression of them. Just knowing 1+1=2 doesn't mean anything if you don't understand it, you can't apply it to your life.

If I do or do not has no bearing on the requirements.

We are all born in ignorance, thus we have all sinned. I'm no different. To repent for your sins is to fix them and no longer do them in the future. That is what is required.

But you need understanding and such to do it properly. That comes from God and you have to seek it yourself. The written list is mostly accurate, but there is a deeper understanding that goes beyond the text. Once you have that understanding, it is actually easier, because it is like memorizing every math equation versus understanding math itself. Jesus summed them up perfectly with his two.

I mean the Pharisees would say they kept the commandments, and yet obviously they did not understand them.

There’s going to be a real issue with the Muslim problem due to the fact we have freedom of religion but their religion demands they kill non believers. So to solve the problem requires tyranny or force towards Muslims for being Muslim but creates a constitutional issue they use against us. So how do you discriminate against them to get rid of them via deportation for being Muslim and get around the constitution issue?


We simply say that any ideology that is abhorrent to the constitution is not allowed. You don't have the freedom to take away another's freedom. It's really that simple.

Nope. Giving people the rights and protections to oppress you is retarded. The constitution isn't a suicide pact.

Hebrews wasn’t written by Paul big dog.

The ending of Luke is pretty PSA-y too.

So you believe you are saved by the law. Good luck with that.

Why would our goal not be to turn them to Christ more than any other thing?

I guess I just can’t imagine spreading the gospel and hoping the result is that people are pissed off.

And this is why you don’t allow them to come here in first place. We can constitutionally prevent that but once here they have rights and protections

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams

When John Adams spoke of a “moral and religious people” in 1798, he was operating in a context where “religion” effectively meant Christianity in its broad, non-sectarian sense.
