However I never found out as I managed to get myself booted out of Bible classes/sunday school for asking too many questions too many times. My mother was fuming........however I had a few issues with annoying little details like dinosaurs - where they at in the bible?? Anyway - a lot (a lot - not all, before I get told off) of the time the "love thy neighbour" thing only applies to fellow christians - not any other religion, a look at our own history tells us that.......
Hey!
I just wanted to correct your hasty generalization you made earlier.
Actually, there is at least a few reference to Dinosaurs in the Bible. Also, there are no mentions of cats in the Bible, are you gonna have a fit about that too???
Job 41:1 refers to the Leviathan, a mraine dinasaur similar what people think they see or have seen in Loch Ness (but it says it's far more bigger and more terrifying and also has crocodile-like mouth and tail).
Psalm 104:26 also talks about the Leviathon, and
Job 40:15 talks about the Behemoth, probably similar to the barosaurus, an extremely large land herbivore. "Look at the behemoth, which I (God/ess) made along with you and which feeds on the grass like and ox."
And the not loving thy neighbor thing is totally false; my church has frequent gay, teen mothers, convicted felons, Muslim, Mormon, and Wiccan visitors, and not one of them has been rejected or treated differently (many of them come every Wednseday night to hang out and have fun with our youth group!)
To the remark about pedophiling priests, Christians do not call themselves Catholic for many reasons........
:huddle:
We're all human, we all make mistakes, so if you're perfect you have every right to judge someone, and if you're not , don't.
Blessed be
