How do I attract other Black users to my threads?

I say quit while you're ahead.

Goldman has been making the same arguments about Leviticus multiple times a year. He is not going to change his mind.

The Word says study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15).

Don’t be ridiculous. Jesus was a Socialist, they hate Socialism.

They hate Jesus otherwise they wouldn’t lie about him.

-FIXED.

I'm not an expert on politics either. How do know Jesus was Socialist?

What did he say about the rich?

What did the 5000 eat?

G*d did not write Corinthians, Paul did.

If this was so critical, why didn't Jesus Christ happen to mention it? If money changers provoked Christ to violence, why didn't homosexuality not raise a whisper if it were an abomination?

I have no problems with the New Testament except certain parts of Paul's messaging. I read Psalm 51 often, it speaks more to me than anything else followed by 1Corinthians 13 written by St Paul.

But speaking of St Paul. Before the Road to Demascus he was serialy killing mass murderer. Yet G*d saw something in him that would make him a leader in the church. Paul was also inclusive: the early church felt only Jews could become Christians. Paul's mission was to bring Gentiles into the Church. If G*d can forgive and show favor to mass murdering serial killers, surely a gay person is no abomination.

But just for you as a gift, I offer you these:

Psalm 51
King James Version

51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Written by a guy who committed murder to be with someone else's wife and was polygamous. But G*d abhors a gay, right?


1 Corinthians 13
1If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Explain the contradiction, please. Christ ignored the whole old Testament.

J Goldman doesn’t think for himself, he allows far right “Christians” to do that for him.

There are Jewish, atheist, Muslims Professors who teach on the Bible. Some of them are gay, too. And they ALL sure know more than I do.

I know. Just as I though I was out, he dragged me back in.

This time I mean it.

Pray for me!

jeebers. I'm getting old and butter fingered and gin brained. Fixed it.

I'm going to pray for you Reb. And everyone else here.

I've expressed my thoughts and views from a Christian standpoint about certain things in this thread, and apparently this thread has become "The People Vs. JGoldman10".

I apologize for saying things that offended people in here. That was not my intention.

What was your intention?

You asked why something wasn’t happening, when told why you repeated the lies and insults towards black people, BLM and the whole LGBT community.

Do you know where the Ten Commandments first appear?

In the Egyptian Book Of The Dead five hundred years before Moses decided to share this information with the Israelites.

Something else from the Egyptian Book Of The Dead is important too, the feather of truth. The deceased’s heart was weighed next to the feather of truth and had to be spot on. This is where we get the terms heavy and light hearted from.

Truth is important, if you’re not true to yourself you will not be able to continue on your journey. You seem to have replaced truth with dogma.

It is your own fault, though.

You have said numerous racist and homophobic comments, not to mention your embrace of several conspiracy theories.

Of course, there is also your callous behavior that has gotten you banned on several sites (but you believe you were banned because of your faith).

That's the past. Who cares? I don't care if some people don't like me. I'm not going to compromise being a good Christian to appease others. Nor am I going to deny God in front of them.

I used to have a big anger problem. I've gotten over it.

I used to be told I "lacked social graces". That doesn't make me a bad person.

Are you trying to condemn me?

You compromised being a good Christian a long time ago.

Jesus preached Love Thy Neighbour.

You judge your neighbours calling them riff-raff and lowlife.

Making racist and homophobic comments makes you a good Christian? I guess that is true if you belong to a very conservative Christian church.

You didn't even apologize. You basically said "sorry if you were offended".

And yes, I am condemning your behavior.

I apologized for my behavior twice.
